On October 30, 2026, an international scientific and practical conference entitled “Current Issues in Teaching English for Specific Purposes in Higher Education” was held at the Samarkand Branch of ISFT Institute.
Today, English language teaching goes beyond explaining grammar rules and developing basic language skills. Modern education also requires the development of professional communication, digital literacy, and the effective use of artificial intelligence technologies.
The conference brought together representatives from more than 15 countries, including the United States, China, Iran, Türkiye, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, India, and other countries. Scholars, specialists, and students discussed the current state and future prospects of English language teaching.
Special attention was given to teaching English for professional purposes, integrating artificial intelligence and digital technologies into education, implementing modern pedagogical approaches, and enhancing teachers’ professional competencies.
The conference provided an important platform for international academic dialogue, the exchange of professional experience, the development of new ideas, and strengthening cooperation in higher education.
The Samarkand Branch of ISFT continues to promote international academic cooperation, modern teaching approaches, and initiatives aimed at improving the quality of higher education.
