Course description:

English has become most common and dominant language that is spoken all over the world is now a global lingua franca. It is an official language of almost 60 sovereign states and the most commonly spoken language in sovereign states including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and a number of Caribbean nations. It is the third-most-common native language in the world, after Mandarin and Spanish. It is widely learned as a second language and is an official language of the European Union and of the United Nations, as well as of many world organizations. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language].
Today, in Uzbekistan great attention is given to the radical reorganization of the educational system that will give an opportunity to raise it to the level of modern standards. In order to realize the aims and tasks put forward by the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Education" (1997) and the “National Programme of Personnel Training” (1997) the complex system of reorganizing the structure and the content of personnel training, proceeding from perspectives of the social, economic development of the society, contemporary achievements of science, culture, technique and technology are being created in the country. The National Programme for Personnel Training is being implemented in the country step by step. Within the framework of this Programme the system of continuous education is being developed, a system, which starts with pre-school provision. The material and technical base of the education sector is strengthening, basic textbooks and methods of learning languages are being published, the physical learning environment is improved, modern information technology are being used in the process of education. New approaches in the system of education also influenced on the learning and teaching of foreign languages, as language is the major factor of person’s development. The first President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov highlighted the organization of a complex system of learning and teaching foreign languages in the country, focused on the upbringing of comprehensively developed, educated and intellectual young generation of people, who can meet the requirements of the time. After the Presidential Decree № 1875 “On measures to further improve of foreign language learning system”(2012) a lot of projects have been done as an implementation of this important document. We can mention that from 2013/2014 academic year teaching of foreign languages, mainly English, started from the first grade of the primary school in the format of games and informal conversation lessons and since the second class schoolchildren learned the alphabet, studied grammar and developed speech skills. And regular training programs shown in the mass media are giving positive results not only in acquisition of knowledge and skills, but also in motivating uzbek children to foreign language learning. Within these short period of time in any part of our country we can meet great demand on learning English language. Therefore, the necessary conditions for successful learning of foreign languages at all grades are being created in the country. The republican scientific and practical center for developing innovative techniques of teaching foreign languages has been established at the Uzbek State University of World Languages due to the decree of the President.
However, analysis of the current system of organizing language learning shows that learning standards, curricula and textbooks do not fully meet the current requirements, particularly in the use of advanced information. Education is mainly conducted in traditional methods. In order to increase the efficiency of further development of a continuum of foreign languages learning at all levels of education mainly requires improving language skills of teachers of nonlingual specialties.
It should be mentioned, that English Speaking Clubs are being organized in every higher educational institutions in order to fulfill the resolution on learning language. Speaking clubs are equipped with modern media technologies and necessary language resources.
According to the compiled draft, starting from November 2016, speaking clubs will be activated in every faculty’s departments. This speaking club is aimed to provide learners (teachers) with a general knowledge of the English Language, as it is spoken and written today. The teachers of various departments of University gradually throughout the course will be taught from level A1 to level B2 in the form of speaking activities and communication skills, continuing to learning the other particularities of English language.
Maximum attention will be paid to conversational and listening skills, as well as written and grammar. The class will be based on beginner-oriented methods where learners will be number one, who will lead the class. The tutor will show them the right path. The main purpose of this class is to speak Elementary English in three months’ time.
In addition, this Speaking club envisaged university modules, especially learning English in specific purposes, which will be offered in English.
Teachers of «foreign languages department», along with other relevant command, are tasked with preparing draft proposals on introducing foreign
languages testing and obtaining necessary skills for examinations after the course.
The class will be heldonce a week on Thursdays from 3pm to 4 pm.
