Introduction

It is known that after gaining the Independence in Uzbekistan much attention was paid in the field of higher education to such problems of education as the implementation of the test systems, the reorganization of the pedagogical Institutes in regional centers into Universities, giving regional educational institutions higher status, sending students and specialists abroad to study and exchange experience on the account of newly established national organizations and international funds, carrying out concrete work intended to retrain specialists and teachers in the field of business and economics. On December 10, 2012 a decree, signed by our First President I.A.Karimov was published and the decree was about improving the teaching of foreign languages, especially English and increasing the salaries of teachers of foreign languages. It was an unexpected happiness to all teachers of our Republic loaded a great responsibility on them. At present great importance is attached to the teaching of foreign languages.
Today, the importance of our people’s perfect knowledge of foreign languages can scarcely, exaggerated as our country aspires to win a decent place in the word community, because our people see their great future as a life in mutual accord and cooperation with their foreign partners. However, it is necessary to remember always that the study of foreign languages should not be carried out at the expense of oblivion to the mother tongue. It is hard to understand and justify a specialist, especially one holding a high post, who is unable to choose fine and appropriate words to express his idea concisely and precisely, in his mother tongue. In our recent past, in most cases the Russian language but not the mother tongue served as mediator in the study of foreign languages. That is why, in particular, until present, English-Uzbek and Uzbek-English dictionaries had not been available.[1,4]
