Annotatsiya

This study examines the representation of Uzbek, Western, and global cultures in English language textbooks used in Uzbekistan and how these representations shape students' cultural awareness, national identity, and intercultural competence. Since Uzbekistan's independence, English has gained strategic importance, leading to curriculum reforms that incorporate English instruction from an early age. However, the extent to which Uzbek English textbooks promote a balanced cultural perspective remains unclear. Textbooks are not merely linguistic tools; they serve as cultural artifacts that influence students' perceptions of their national identity and engagement with global cultures. This research will explore the cultural content in English textbooks, assess alignment with national educational policies, and analyze how students and teachers perceive these representations. By evaluating the ideological and pedagogical implications of textbook content, the study aims to contribute to the development of English teaching materials that honor Uzbek culture while preparing students for effective global communication. By studying the interplay between cultural representation and language learning, this research will provide insights into how educational materials can foster intercultural competence while preserving national identity. The findings will inform policymakers, curriculum developers, and educators on ways to enhance the cultural dimension of English language education in Uzbekistan.
