This article discusses the prospects for using digital technologies in the process of teaching gymnastics. Modern digital learning tools such as mobile applications, video analytics, online platforms, sensor systems and VR/AR technologies are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to their impact on student motivation, the quality of coaching control and the individualization of the educational process. Potential risks and limitations, as well as pedagogical conditions for successful digital integration into gymnastics training are also considered.

Shadowing involves immediately repeating spoken language, closely mimicking the speaker’s intonation, stress, and rhythm. Originally applied in interpreter training, shadowing has proven useful in general foreign language learning. The study reviews the theoretical foundations of the technique, surveys current research, and presents empirical data from an experimental study conducted with university students learning English as a foreign language. The results demonstrate significant improvement in listening accuracy, speech rate, and pronunciation among students who practiced shadowing regularly. The article also discusses learner feedback, implementation strategies, and pedagogical recommendations. Shadowing emerges as an accessible, low-cost, and versatile tool that can be integrated into both classroom settings and independent learning. The findings suggest shadowing can play a vital role in developing communicative competence and learner autonomy in language education.

Traditional PDF text extractors often ignore or misrepresent paragraph structure, yielding fragmented lines rather than coherent blocks of content. This article introduces a Java-based solution designed to extract text from PDF files and intelligently reconstruct the original paragraph structure. Using geometric, spatial, and semantic analysis, the program successfully overcomes the limitations of flat text extraction and demonstrates high accuracy across diverse document formats. The development process, underlying methodology, and applications in document digitization and natural language processing are thoroughly discussed.

Basically, the role of wrestling exercises in developing strength, endurance, agility, balance and coordination is analyzed, and improved methodological recommendations are developed based on modern pedagogical technologies. During the research, the dynamics of students’ physical condition are assessed through experimental training, and the effectiveness of wrestling elements is practically substantiated. The results of the work serve to further improve physical education classes in higher educational institutions.

It analyzes how national traditions, customs, values, and collective consciousness shape the psychological identity of a people. The works of both classical and contemporary scholars are reviewed to highlight the methodological significance of folk psychology in understanding ethnic mentality, group identity, and intergenerational value transmission.

The study employs comparative legal analysis to explore how this principle is implemented in different legal systems, with particular focus on France, Japan, and Uzbekistan. The findings reveal both universal approaches to labor rights protection and national peculiarities of legal regulation, reflecting specific legal traditions and socio-economic conditions of each country.
