IMPROVINGSTUDENTS KNOWLEDGE OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES BY COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

In the last two decades, a number of changes have occurred in educational system of Uzbekistan. Forinstance, the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan was promulgated (In December 10, 2012). There are serious reasons for this step. As a result of this extremely important document, learning foreign languages, mainly English, has started at the first grade of secondary schools. According to the decree it is stated that “theanalysis of the current system of organization of foreign language teaching shows that educational standards, curricula and textbooks do not fully meet modern standards, especially in the use of advanced information and media technologies. Continuously organizing foreign languages learning at all levels of the education system, andalso upgrading the skills of teachers and the provision of modern teaching materials should be further improved”, and/or “teaching special subjects, especially on technical and international specialties at higher educational institutions will be conducted in foreign languages”. All these measures are undertaken to further integration of Uzbekistan into the world community.
