English language teaching specialists conducted a baseline study to research the teaching of English for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and within higher educational institutions throughout Uzbekistan. One striking finding was the confusion that university language teachers have towards curriculum and syllabus. For example, most have trouble discussing the differences between these terms, because Uzbekistan language teachers often view each as the same thing. Additionally, a syllabi analysis conducted by English language teaching specialists using content analysis methodology revealed there are many mismatches between the curriculum of the institution and course syllabi. These findings, and the ones listed below, cause great concern. Findings:
I) Syllabus developers use different terms, such as a Curriculum, Schedule, and Calendar Plan for the same type of document. Majority of syllabi were derived from the mandated books (i.e., syllabus developers take the book prescribed by the ministry and copy topics from the book and thus convert the book into syllabus). Therefore, the syllabus reflects the book.
While designing a syllabus, developers must think of two important things: “a starting point of what is and an ending point of what is desired” (Graves, 2014, p. 56). The journey from the starting point towards the desired finish demand making decisions on the content and activities. The process is not linear: all sections connect, affect, and complement each other.
Besides above mentioned ideas teachers have to learn several degrees of republic of Uzbekistan which is devoted to developing of education and its fields.
