Abstract

AbstractAfter the introduction of teaching foreign languages in primary schools of Uzbekistan, the need arose to optimize and change the content of teaching languages in the school curriculum. Uzbekistan is one of the unique states in which schools with 7 native languages - Uzbek, Russian, Karakalpak, Tajik, Turkmen, Kyrgyz and Kazakh - are officially functioning. This means that young learners begin to study not only their native language, but, along with it, the state language, and then a foreign one. A foreign language becomes the third language for young learners, and even the fourth in some regions of Uzbekistan. That requires extraordinary solutions. For young learners these are difficulties of an interlingual nature and overcoming intralingua interference. In this article the author considers the conditions that can stimulate motivation and interest in learning English, as well as facilitate the educational process as much as possible.
