FOREWORD

Socio-political progress in the Republic of Uzbekistan and the fundamental changes taking 

place in all spheres of the country life directly affected the field of the study of foreign languages. 

The high degree of relevance of this phenomenon is explained by wide involvement of our country 

in the international economic, scientific-technical, cultural, humanitarian and other relations 

and a broad integration of the Republic of Uzbekistan in international intergovernmental and 

non-governmental organizations’ activities.

In connection with the above, we can refer to the Decree of the President of the Republic of 

Uzbekistan PP-1875 of 10 December 2012 «On measures on further improvement of teaching 

of foreign languages», which was the essence of the country’s reforms in the field of foreign 

language learning. Since the adoption of the system-generating decree all the work in this area 

has been intensified and major reforms in modernization of teaching foreign languages at all 

levels of continuing education have started. According to the targets set by the Government of 

the Republic, new state educational standards, based on international standards – CEFR were 

adopted. 

From the date of signing of the above mentioned decree a lot of work on the development of 

new educational materials and resources in continuing education has been done. In particular, 

in the school system a series of textbooks Kids’ English for primary school, as well as in 

secondary and specialized education – B1 textbook have been published. Shifts towards modern 

methodological approaches in the study of foreign languages have also impacted the higher 

education system, ensuring the principles of continuity. Therefore, in 2013, on the initiative of 

the Minister of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan 

B.Yu. Hodiev the work on developing a set of learning materials for foreign languages meeting 

international requirements has been launched. For this, the team of authors, consisting of English 

teachers of language and non-language universities in the country has been formed. The team 

worked hard on developing the first manual of this kind in the country. Also the First Deputy 

Minister of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education F.H. Rizaev, rector of the Uzbek State 

University of World Languages Sh.Sh. Kayumov and director of the Republican Scientific 

and Practical Center of innovative methods of teaching foreign languages B.E. Ochilov have 

been actively involved in the creation of the textbook. In addition, the following people should 

be mentioned: the vice-rector for scientific work of the Uzbekistan State World Languages 

University prof. G.H. Bakiyeva and the chairman of the Uzbekistan Association of Teachers of 

English F.M. Rashidova who have made an invaluable contribution to the development of the 

truly innovative language learning manual that meets all modern requirements. In the opinion of 

a number of authoritative international experts, this manual is created in line with the Common 

European framework of Reference (CEFR), and in certain specific provisions, even better than 

some international textbooks as the textbook takes full account of the national mentality and 

historical traditions of our people, emphasizing the rich historical past of Uzbek people.

Beyond doubt, the novelty of this textbook is in the development of all language skills: 

speaking, listening, reading and writing. Moreover, the thematic content of the manual covers 

a big variety of professional fields, which ensures the mastery of the English language of the 

future specialists in various spheres of the country economy. This experimental manual will be 

piloted for a year that is why any feedback and suggestions from students and teachers will be 

particularly valuable for the further improvement.
