Educational-training Center of the Branch of Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU) named after I.M. Gubkin in Tashkent city: advantage of a professional approach

Under new socio-economic conditions, the development of education in the Republic of Uzbekistan is highly appreciated, since it is it that will facilitate the transition to an information society and the formation of priorities for the development of the state. The policy of openness pursued by Uzbekistan, active entry into the world market, expansion of international cooperation in all areas raise the need for knowledge of foreign languages. Knowledge of foreign languages, the ability to use them in professional activities, in the conduct of the research has turned into an urgent requirement of the present time.

It should be noted that the government of our republic pays particular attention to the problems associated with improving the system of learning foreign languages. In particular, in order to develop teaching foreign languages ​​as a priority focus area of educational policy, radically improve the quality of education in this field, attract qualified language instructors and increase the interest of the population in learning foreign languages, on May 19, 2021, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted Resolution №PR- 5117 “On measures to raise to a qualitatively new level of activities to popularize the study of foreign languages ​​in the Republic of Uzbekistan”, in compliance with which a number of priority objectives have been identified.

In this regard, in compliance with the order of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 21, 2021 №231 “On the execution of the resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 19, 2021 № PR-1751” On measures to raise the activities to promote studying foreign languages ​​in the Republic of Uzbekistan” at the Branch of Russian State University of Oil and Gas (National Research University) named after I.M. Gubkin in Tashkent, the “Action Plan for the Implementation of the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan №PP-1751 “On measures to raise the activities to promote the study of foreign languages ​​in the Republic of Uzbekistan” dated May 19, 2021 has been adopted and this plan implies the measures aimed at improving the study of the English language at the Branch.

It should be noted that within the framework of this “Action Plan” the courses have been organized for the study of a foreign language for the faculty of the Branch, the organization of preparatory courses for passing the exam for the national and international certificate of the corresponding level for the students of the Branch, the organization of the ESP course (English for specialties) for students and specialists of the oil and gas industry, as well as the organization of the “English for Research” course (English for research activities). The implementation of all objectives has become possible due to the established Educational-training Center of the Branch, which lunched its activities at the beginning of the 2021-2022 academic year.

Training at the Center envisages rendering of paid educational services to the population, employees and students of the Branch, as well as young people focused on admission to the Branch, on the basis of approved programs and plans developed taking into account international best practices. The training is implemented in groups of 8 people using advanced information, communication and pedagogical technologies. English language teachers, who have an international certificate of the appropriate level, are involved in teaching the courses.

Another significant feature of these courses is provision of discounts in the amount of up to 40 percent for students, faculty and staff of the Branch, as well as for children of the faculty and employees of the Branch under the age of 18, which indicates the social support provided to the team by the Administration of the Branch.

In conclusion, it should be noted, that improving the communication skills in English of students, passing exams for international certificates, raising the motivation of students to study and to study a foreign language in general will be the results of the activities of the Educational-training Center of the Branch of  Russian State University of Oil and Gas (National Research University) named after I.M. Gubkin in Tashkent. We do hope, that the knowledge gained by the students at the Center will contribute to their career growth and the development of professional competencies, which will undoubtedly be reflected in the future development of our Republic.
