In recent years, English has become more than just a foreign language. It has become the language of international communication, higher education, business, science, technology, and increasingly, artificial intelligence. Across the world, millions of students dedicate years to mastering English because they recognize the opportunities it can provide. In Uzbekistan, as in many other countries, English proficiency is often associated with academic achievement, career advancement, and participation in the global community.
