Starting from the second class, the alphabet, reading and grammar will be taught step by step. In Uzbekistan opportunities and conditions for teaching foreign languages using modern pedagogical and communicative technologies are supported by the government. For instance: a set of English books, type recorders, DVD players, whiteboards, modern laptops and many other useful equipment were given to schools in order to use in English language classes. Although a large number of English language teachers around the country use computer in teaching English language efficiently, regrettably, there are still some teachers do not know how to use computers in their English language classes effectively: using traditional methods of teaching English language. For many of teachers who are working at schools nowadays, learned how to teach in the days before the computer technology. And that means that sometimes, educators are trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to using computer technology in the classroom.
Factually, technology is a huge asset when it is used properly, and there is no technology more common or easier to use in the class than the computer.
Moreover, teachers can make great use of whatever may already be available to them and their pupils, whether smartphones, laptops or netbooks etc.
