INTRODUCTION

Teaching in foreign languages is conducted in 25 higher education institutions in Uzbekistan. In 2019, 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. “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”, Shavkat Mirziyoyev said. The Head of the state emphasized the need for creating decent conditions for teachers and stimulating them based on their qualifications. The importance of further strengthening cooperation with such foreign organizations as the British Council,
Goethe-Institute, Alliance Française, KOICA, Confucius Institute, and expanding the network of non-governmental training centers was emphasized. The need was noted for stimulating the study of languages in every ministry, agency, state company and large private enterprises, to introduce a special day for the study of foreign languages there and create the necessary conditions for this [1,4].
The poet describes two evils, the monster Grendel, whom Beowulf has just defeated, and Grendel’s mother, whom Beowulf will soon fight. Grendel is evil because he is a demon from hell and thus a “foe of mankind.
” His mother’s evil is more ambiguous, because killing for vengeance was allowed
in the warrior culture
of Beowulf’s time. Grendel’s mother is evil, not because she seeks sorrowful revenge but because she is a creature of hell who hungers for death. The opposite of evil, in this passage and throughout the poem, is joy. [2,37].
