Abstract:
In multilingual countries like Uzbekistan, English language learning is shaped by sociolinguistic factors including region, gender, ethnicity, race, and multilingualism. These influence learners’ pace, motivation, and communicative competence. Understanding these factors helps teachers design more inclusive and effective lessons. This thesis outlines mechanisms by which such factors influence language acquisition and proposes pedagogical strategies to address them.
