THE ROLE OF ENGLISH IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

As someone who studied English Language and Literature at the World Languages University, I have spent years exploring not only the structure and history of the English language but also its growing role in shaping global communication. My academic journey and personal experience have given me a front-row seat to witness how English has gradually woven itself into the fabric of Central Asian development. This idea was further reinforced when I recently participated in a seminar organized by the British Council in Uzbekistan. The seminar, titled “Accelerating English Language Teaching in Central Asia,” focused on how advancing English education is now considered a critical component of economic, cultural, and social growth across the region.
