“Uzbek School” Project Wins the “My Beloved Uzbek Language” Contest
According to the results of the “Jonajon o‘zbek tilim” (My Beloved Uzbek Language) contest, organized by the Department for the Development of the State Language under the Cabinet of Ministers and the Fund for the Development of the Uzbek Language, the “Uzbek School” project implemented by the Alisher Navo'i Tashkent State University of the Uzbek Language and Literature has been recognized as the Best Practical Initiative for Promoting the Uzbek Language Internationally.
The main goal of the contest is to enhance the prestige of the Uzbek language, identify and support innovative initiatives that promote its use in science, technology, and culture. Within this framework, the “Uzbek School” project stood out for its tangible achievements in teaching Uzbek abroad, popularizing it globally, and developing modern, digital, and innovative approaches to language learning.
Under the leadership of Nozliya Normurodova, Vice-Rector for Science and Innovations, the “Uzbek School” project has so far helped hundreds of international students and learners master the Uzbek language, while also promoting Uzbekistan’s rich culture and values worldwide. As part of the project, Uzbek Language Centers have been established in cooperation with foreign universities, along with the introduction of modern textbooks, online courses, and practical training programs.
Since Nozliya Normurodova is currently attending an international academic event at the University of Oxford, the award was received on her behalf by Durdona Ermatova, a teacher of the “Uzbek School” project.
This recognition clearly reflects the “Uzbek School” project’s remarkable contribution to promoting the Uzbek language and culture at the international level, as well as the consistent efforts of Uzbekistan to strengthen its language policy on the global stage.
