🌟 #RARinAction in Khorezm!

On June 4, the Regional Alumni Representative for the Khorezm region, Feruza Masharipova, in collaboration with Urgench State University, hosted a hands-on training in Khiva for over 45 English language instructors from across the Khorezm region. The workshop, titled ”Engage, Explore, Inspire: Professional Development for 21st Century English Teachers”, focused on practical strategies for student-centered teaching to boost classroom engagement and collaboration.

Participants explored hands-on strategies for shifting from traditional, teacher-centered methods to dynamic, student-focused instruction. They also engaged in lively and practical activities such as β€œFour Corners,” β€œJigsaw Reading,” and β€œ1, 2, 3, Uzbekistan,” gaining fresh ideas to make learning more engaging, collaborative, and impactful.

The training was led by Feruza Masharipova and Associate Professor Rohatoy Abidova, with support from Fulbright and TEA alumni Wiley Roberts, Nargiza Hamraeva, and Dilfuza Kuchkarova.

πŸ“Œ As part of the USG Alumni Program, this impactful and informative training was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent and supported by American Councils for International Education, reflecting ongoing support for English instruction and educator collaboration in Uzbekistan
