In 2020, Gulnaz Jadigerova planned to spend a year in the United States on the Global Exchange (UGRAD) program. Due to the global pandemic, the program was postponed.

Improving English Language for Uzbekistan’s Tourism

As the tourism industry rapidly grows in Uzbekistan, there is increasing need for English proficiency. Through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils for International Education and funded by the U.S. State Department through the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, the University of Wyoming (UW) partnered with three Uzbekistan universities to improve English language learning for the tourism sector. Beginning in September 2020, UW assisted Bukhara State University with methods to improve grading rubrics, performance measures, syllabus design, and how to launch student clubs for English. UW faculty supported Tashkent State University of Economics adoption of the credit hour system and reviewed their English curricula. Working with the Samarkand Tourism Academy, UW created a library of videos, links, and activities for English-language learners.

To enhance English as a Second Language in Uzbekistan, UW created a four-part webinar series on professional development, with an additional 10 hours of language support classes. Uzbekistani professors reported that their understanding of university systems and policies greatly increased. UW professors developed ways to make ESL lessons more applicable to the geographical and cultural landscape in Uzbekistan. As a result of the partnership, UW and its partners created an ESL for tourism textbook to improve English teaching and further the development of English within the tourism in sector Uzbekistan for years to come.

In May 2021, Sarvinoz Ungboyeva was a student who had completed an English proficiency test and ready to graduate from Uzbekistan State World Languages University. But she wanted to expand her academic background and talent in a practical setting and decided to apply to the Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP). “It is always challenging to get out your comfort zone,” Sarvinoz reflects. “I got a strong motivation for working on myself.”

Sarvinoz soon began her 8-week journey as an intern at Bureau Veritas, a firm specialized in testing, inspection, and certification, where she worked in project management and gained work ethic, digital communications, and intercultural skills. Working with experienced colleagues, the internship program helped Sarvinoz plan for her future career and gave her a sense of control and hope. By the end of the internship, Sarvinoz created a presentation on her internship experience that reflected her newly found confidence and professional skills.

After the internship, she plans to apply for a master's degree abroad. “The Young Professional Internships Program was a game changer in my life.”

Good luck, Sarvinoz!
