CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTING DIGITAL TOOLS IN UZBEK LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS

Abstrak

The rapid development of digital technologies has transformed educational systems around the world, including language education. In Uzbekistan, educational reforms increasingly encourage the integration of digital tools into classrooms to improve teaching quality, student engagement, and access to educational resources. However, the implementation of digital technologies in Uzbek language classrooms still faces several challenges related to infrastructure, teacher preparedness, digital literacy, economic limitations, and pedagogical adaptation. This article analyzes the major difficulties associated with integrating digital tools into Uzbek language teaching environments and evaluates their impact on educational effectiveness. The study also explores possible solutions that educational institutions and policymakers may adopt to improve the successful integration of digital technologies. Using academic literature, reports from UNESCO, and current educational practices in Uzbekistan, this paper argues that although digitalization offers significant opportunities for language learning, systematic reforms and institutional support are necessary to overcome existing barriers.
