Abstract

This research paper explores the sociolinguistic profile of two subgroups of learners, consisting of Uzbek and Indian students, and their learning context in an international school in Tashkent. The study examines the language background, proficiency level, motivation, attitudes, and beliefs towards the target language of the students. The pedagogical and assessment implications of the sociolinguistic profile are discussed to enhance language teaching and learning. The findings reveal the strengths, weaknesses, and challenges faced by the learners in acquiring the target language, providing insights for designing appropriate teaching materials, activities, and assessments tailored to their needs and goals.
