INTRODUCTION
Several areas of knowledge are determined every year in Uzbekistan, the development of which is given priority attention. This year physics and foreign languages ​​have become such areas.Uzbekistan’s policy of openness, active entry into the global market, expansion of international cooperation in all areas increase the need for studying foreign languages.Teaching in foreign languages ​​is conducted in 25 higher education institutions in Uzbekistan. In 2016, there were only 7 such institutions. Over the past 3 years, the number of applicants who have received a language certificate of international level has increased tenfold.This year 350 students received grants to study at prestigious foreign universities through the El-Yurt Umidi Foundation, which is five times more than in previous years.
However, the state of the system of teaching foreign languages ​​at some places does not allow effectively solving the large-scale tasks in this area. So, in the education system, there are more than 2 thousand vacancies for foreign language teachers. The quality of teaching languages ​​in 1.4 thousand schools is assessed as extremely low. Only 4 percent of school teachers have national and international language certificates. There are no teachers with a certificate in the cities of Khanabad and Kuvasay, Zafarabad, Mirishkor, Turtkul, Sherabad and Uzun districts. 49 percent of teachers failed the certification test.These and other problems in the sphere were comprehensively analyzed at the meeting. Priority tasks were identified.
“The time has come to create in Uzbekistan a new system of teaching foreign languages, which will become a solid foundation for the future. Since we set ourselves the goal of building a competitive state, from now on, graduates of schools, lyceums, colleges and universities must be fluent in at least two foreign languages. This strict requirement should become the main criterion for the work of the head of each education institution”¹, Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on ecologization, which describes the process in different ways: as the inclusion of environmental aspects in all educational subjects; introduction of integrated environmental courses into curricula; transferring the ecological style of thinking into the educational subject content (not only the facts related to ecology); the content filling with environmental knowledge; the development of environmental culture, skills and practical activities to implement the principles of environmental policy. We consider the foreign language course ecologization at agrarian university from the point of view of incorporating environmental aspects into the discipline content and the development of skills in order to their further practical application, for example, in academic mobility programs or agricultural practices abroad.
In this regard, in order to develop social and ecological competence in a foreign language course, it is necessary to include a motivation component. Stimulating the need for the study of the foreign language vocabulary, knowledge of relevant information on environmental problems, as well as the need for environmentally-oriented behavior in the process of intercultural communication, will help to prepare a specialist ready to solve the problems of the modern agrarian economy and sustainable development
