The English Education department has created a unique project at Kimyo International University in Tashkent in association with Norwich Institute for Language Education (NILE), Norwich, UK. For the first time in Uzbekistan, students receive education in content and language integrated learning (CLIL) and have the opportunity to work as teachers of English, as well as Literature and History or Physics and Mathematics. Students who graduate from the Faculty of English Education become international specialists and have the opportunity to work in private and public schools, colleges, and lyceums.
