Abstract

Every year in Uzbekistan more and more fundamental reforms in the educational sphere are carried out. The State University of World Languages (SWLU) developed a practicum program that was approved on August 26, 2021, by the University Board. This program was created based on the curriculum that was developed and approved by the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Uzbekistan Republic in 2018 on August 25. According to that, the objects of practicum are the Department of the secondary schools and institutions of preschool education. This paper will scrutinize the effectiveness of this practicum program for the second-year students and the perception of conducting and supporting this practicum program by the staff of the SWLU and local schools’ administration. It also depicts information about what kind of additional actions should be accomplished to facilitate instructing and practicing observation of the lessons, recommendations, timeline, and other further implications.
