Abstract

This article explores the challenges and opportunities associated with teaching in rural areas of Uzbekistan, drawing parallels from Labov's case studies and research on teaching English in rural areas of Ukraine. Despite socio-economic challenges, rural teachers play a pivotal role in fostering educational development and English language proficiency. The discussion highlights shared challenges, such as lack of resources and teacher training, while emphasizing unique cultural and linguistic contexts. Recommendations for improving educational practices and achieving better learning outcomes in rural schools are proposed.
