This study examines the role of British and American cultural content in teaching English in secondary schools of Uzbekistan. Grounded in intercultural communicative competence and communicative language teaching principles, the research investigates whether integrating authentic cultural materials and targeted cultural tasks enhances learners’ language proficiency, cultural awareness, and motivation. A mixed-methods design was employed: curriculum analysis, classroom observations, pre- and post-test measures of language skills, and semi-structured interviews with teachers and students across three urban schools (n = 162 students; 12 teachers). Quantitative results indicate statistically significant improvements in listening and reading comprehension after a 12-week culturally enriched module. Qualitative findings suggest that students became more engaged and demonstrated deeper understanding of pragmatic and sociocultural norms in British and American contexts. The paper discusses pedagogical strategies for embedding cultural content into EFL curricula in Uzbekistan, offers practical task-based lesson examples, and concludes with recommendations for teacher training and curriculum policy. The study contributes evidence-based guidance for policymakers and practitioners seeking to internationalize English language instruction while respecting local educational aims.
