A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENGLISH LEARNING METHODS AMONG UZBEK STUDENTS

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the various methods employed by Uzbek students in learning the English language. English is increasingly becoming a vital tool for academic success, professional advancement, and global communication, particularly in developing countries like Uzbekistan. As the country continues to open up to global markets and international cooperation, the need for English proficiency is growing exponentially. This paper focuses on the most commonly practiced English learning approaches in Uzbekistan, including traditional classroom instruction, online learning platforms, private tutoring, immersive language environments, and self-directed learning. The effectiveness of these approaches is evaluated through qualitative and quantitative data obtained from surveys, interviews, and case studies conducted in Tashkent, Samarkand, and Fergana. The results indicate significant differences in learner outcomes, depending on the method employed, the motivation of learners, socioeconomic factors, and institutional support. The study concludes with pedagogical recommendations tailored to the Uzbek context for maximizing English language acquisition.
