This paper examines the phenomenon of linguistic text adaptation as a multifaceted process aimed at facilitating the perception of content by a specific target audience. The theoretical part is devoted to analyzing key concepts such as adaptation, modification, transformation, and text simplification and their connection with cognitive, cultural, and pragmatic aspects of communication. Special attention is paid to the adaptation criteria: lexical, syntactic, stylistic, semantic, and pragmatic. The practical part analyzes texts from various genres, identifying key adaptation strategies. The paper demonstrates how linguistic adaptation allows for effective information communication, taking into account the level of training, age, cultural, and linguistic characteristics of the reader. Linguistic adaptation is a process that ensures the adaptation of linguistic structures to a certain level of the reader or listener. Textual adaptation refers to modifications that improve text accessibility without altering its core semantics, style, or structure.This article provides an analytical review of the works of scholars who have studied linguistic adaptation and textual adaptation. In addition, the theoretical foundations and interrelationships of linguistic and textual adaptation are considered. The article emphasizes the role of well-selected and organized adapted texts in foreign language education.

Such texts broaden students' cultural perspectives, contribute to the formation of moral principles, and develop critical thinking skills.
