Speaking English in Uzbek Culture

For Uzbek students it is challenging for them to carry on a regular conversation. For example now a lot of students are going to study abroad and they communicate with foreign students, try to explain what they thinking and feeling. But they speak with Russian accent. It still shows its influence when we speaking. Uzbekistan have plenty of opportunities to practice their language skills with native speakers of English language.

Indeed a lot of students leaving their schools and universities need to communicate in English in real life situations and often their language expression is full of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. English language study often doesn't enable its graduates sustain an effective dialogue with native speakers of English. One can think that a good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary is all that's needed for successful dialogue.

Foreign language learners are interculturally competent and are knowledgeable about the culture of the target language and they are able to communicate effectively and appropriately. Some teachers believe that only free language practice with native speakers or immersion into the cultural environment will help. That may be true but clearly not everyone has such an opportunity and even provided that one has, why not help him/her be more culturally sensitive in order to successfully communicate in a foreign culture.
