hello everyone very excited to be here
with you and first thing I want to say
it's my first time as a TEDx speaker so
I need your support guys thank you thank
you
my name is Eldar and I am an expert on
whose back language I don't know English
as well as Uzbek but I hope I can tell
you something interesting in this
language next like 10 minutes so my
speech is about how to make your who's
back
perfect within 2 month and I have I have
to be honest with you at the beginning
no way actually you don't know it all we
know that you should do your best to
improve your language skills year to
year doing best everyday is on the way
but two months are enough to improve one
side of your language skills for example
writing of course if you know who's back
in good level and that's my experience I
want to share with you I've been writing
in who's back since I remember myself
[Music]
they were school years when my first
article was published in local newspaper
I used to write in Uzbekistan formats
such as scientific texts short stories
even points yes I'm a poet a little bit
[Music]
and man the biggest problem I faced it
during my activity as an Uzbek speaking
German list and blogger was the bad
development of language I face it the
lack
of significant number of books in news
back on several disciplines several
topics I face it the lack of
professional terminology I face it the
lack of vocabulary the lack of
professional texts and the lack of
reliable sources yes we know whose back
was under Russian influence during
Soviet epoch Russian was the factor
official language and Uzbek was just a
local language which was irrelevant just
for for household community
communication Bela tree poetry etc but
we had a chance to change the situation
after the fall of Soviet Union we had a
chance to make use back the language of
state agencies the language of
legislation and science but we didn't do
it I'm not here to analogy blew this
chance really I don't know it exactly
maybe the practice of using Russian
language in legislation and science was
stronger than we could imagine maybe
who's Becky Stan had no financial and
intellectual sources to develop state
language maybe we didn't pay enough
attention and respect to state language
to try to use it in our everyday
activity I don't know but the fact is
who's backing
is still at the crossroads the situation
around us back language looks like a
vicious circle
we have no sufficient number of books in
Uzbek we have no practice of writing
professional texts in Uzbek and many
young people many young professionals
have to write in Russian and English
due to the lack of practice of was back
writing in Uzbekistan game and this
situation runs to another circle as a
situation in this situation many many
young professional specialists state
agencies representatives don't know
whose back language in professional
level and they don't use state language
in their activity their job it is a
really bad situation when only
journalists and philologists know state
language perfectly and other
professionals have to either approach
them or use another better developed
language in many countries I have been
professionals usually know their
language in very high level so what to
do how to interrupt this circle
eventually we cannot force everybody to
go to journalism school yet and we also
cannot wait significant awards from the
part of government as I mentioned about
looks like they have known so many time
for state language maybe some young
professionals could spend the year so
for developing language for creating
terminology or theoretical data but in
fact many young professionals prefer use
prefer to use Russian or English I was
keen on these issues for a long time and
it became kind of challenge for me to
develop professional use big language
how to do it yes I was realizing that
force of one person will be too small
contribution
but I was hoping that I can inspire
other young people and I can build a
community of young who's back
professionals writing in Uzbekistan
inspiration came to me last year when I
was visited scholar at George Washington
University I was a part of very
interesting program and too much spent
in the university was were very
productive for me and we had several
courses
directed to improvement of our skills
especially in speaking and writing and
once I thought why not why can't I
implement my new knowledge to use back
language and then I decided to launch
writing course for a young who's back
professionals it was my first experience
in this way and to be honest I was
afraid but my business went better than
I expected and I should express my
gratitude to all who helped me first of
all I announced a competition for young
who's back professionals who are
interested in improving their writing
skills in news back then I made a deal
with the training center I prepared
program materials chose the best
candidates who are working in very
different areas for example my first
cohort included an historian and
economies of philologist a psychologist
even IT manager it was very interesting
a party so
my aim was to inspire young people to
teach them how to write in booze back in
clear and beautiful way I'm not able to
tell more about my course here because
it can be regarded as an advertising but
I can say that the curse was very
efficient and right now I'm on a way of
publishing the pieces of my students
[Music]
this is not a good example or not a not
a big example not a big experience
actually but I think my experience shows
how can we make a difference step by
step I taught six persons they will
teach 36 and this is how we can impact
society many booze bag intellectuals
journalists bloggers as you know are
usually criticizing people for it or for
graphical mistakes
for example Street advertising but this
kind of criticism has zero impact I'm
sure that we should teach not criticize
because that language knowing isn't a
problem isn't a personal problem of
whose backs it is a problem of bad
education system it is a problem of
whose back intellectuals it is a problem
it is of it is the problem of society
and it is a problem of unclear language
policy all you know we know how USA or
Great Britain promote English yeah
[Music]
they have very clear language policy
unfortunately we have no such policy we
have only post-colonial language
practices the language is the most
important part of cultural identity of
society of every society and language
policy with the social linguistic aspect
can reflect the whole society and I
believe that all young people should
should be involved to development of
state language and contribute to
cultural transformation of new respects
them that's all I want to say thank you
for your attention
[Applause]
