INTRODUCTION
Uzbekistan's policy of openness, its active entry into the world market, and the expansion of international cooperation in all fields increase the need to know foreign languages.Today, teaching is conducted in foreign languages in 25 higher educational institutions of our country. In 2016, they were only 7. The number of graduates who received an international language certificate has increased 10 times in the last 3 years.This year, 350 students were awarded scholarships to study at prestigious foreign universities through the "El-Yurt Umid" fund. This is 5 times more than in previous years.
However, the situation on the ground is not compatible with the intended big plans. In particular, more than 2,000 foreign language teacher positions remain vacant in the education system. The quality of foreign language teaching in 1,400 schools is completely unsatisfactory. Only 4% of teachers in this system have national and international language certificates. There are no teachers with such a certificate in the cities of Khanabad and Kuvasoi, Zafarabad, Mirishkor, Tortkol, Sherabad and Uzun districts. 49 percent of foreign language teachers in schools could not pass the test.At the meeting, problems in the system were thoroughly analyzed and priority tasks were determined.
- The time has come to establish a new system for teaching foreign languages in our country, which will be a solid foundation for the future. Since we have set ourselves the goal of building a competitive country, from now on, graduates of schools, lyceums, colleges and universities must have a perfect knowledge of at least 2 foreign languages. This strict requirement should become the main criterion for the activity of the head of every educational institution, - said ShavkatMirziyoyev¹.
I have always been interested in alternative and untraditional ways of teaching, since they have not been used for long time in current educational systems at primary and secondary schools. I think that some of them are really profitable and useful. I saw alternative approaches and methods in practice. I was fascinated by them as well as with the results. Since that time, I am trying to get proficient in using at least some of the methods in my teaching.
Therefore I decided to look closely at one of the alternative ways, use of authentic materials. I think that they are underestimated. I believe that if they were used more, English teaching would be not only more effective, but also more interesting.
