Who are these wonderful teacher-researchers?


 Malika Mirvokhidova, EAP teacher

TEAM University, Uzbekistan

Teachers expect from their learners active participation and completed tasks. However, expectations are not always met and this can make teachers more encouraged to explore their classroom practices. This presentation aims to share the EAR findings, which focuses on challenges related to student engagement and task completion and the ways to overcome them.










Students’ low level of motivation while studying remotely

Dildora Khallyeva, ESP teacher

University of World Economy and Diplomacy, Uzbekistan

This talk is aimed at those who would like to learn how to increase students’ motivation to study online. I will also share my research findings on the reasons for students’ low motivation and suggest some feasible ways of making them more engaged in online classes.

Making online grammar learning engaging for students

Feruza Erkulova, EFL Teacher, PhD Student

Namangan State University, Uzbekistan

School graduates are required to take grammar tests to enter national universities. This is the reason why they mainly focus on their grammar development. This research investigates the difficulties students faced while studying grammar online. It also suggests ways to overcome these difficulties.

Motivating students to develop their autonomy

 Dilafruz Sarimsakova, EFL Teacher

Namangan State University, Uzbekistan

Developing autonomous learning has always been a core issue in ELT for years as it promotes students with a positive environment, motivating, encourages collaboration, and social interaction. The presentation refers to my EAR results on how to motivate students to develop their autonomy.

Strategies for pairing EAP foundation year students for speaking activities

 Ella Maksakova, EAP Teacher Researcher

British Management University in Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Being an EAP teacher at a foundation year program at EMI university in a non-English-speaking country imposes some context-specific challenges on teaching and learning EAP. The purpose of this research is to share the findings on the reasons for the unwillingness of EAP students to participate in speaking pair work activities and consequently on changes observed after some actions were taken.

How to develop critical thinking in students’ writing

 Nilufar Tillaeva, Adjunct Professor

Webster University in Tashkent

EFL learners usually find writing challenging due to which they can become less motivated and engaged in it. The research focuses on how the integration of critical thinking in writing activities influence their language development.


The presentation sessions by NETRUZ teacher-researchers (ROOM 3) will be livestreamed in the following Facebook group:
