Abstract
This article examines the importance of newgeneration teaching materials in English language education, especially in Uzbekistan's context of educational reform. It underscores the transition from traditional textbooks to interactive, learner-centred resources that cultivate critical thinking and practical language skills. The article discusses the challenges and opportunities involved in developing and implementing these new materials, emphasizing the need for teacher training, technological infrastructure, and culturally relevant content. The study explores English language teachers' experiences and perspectives in Uzbekistan, offering insights into the effective integration of contemporary resources aligned with learners' evolving needs. The findings highlight teachers' varying levels of familiarity, perceptions of benefits and challenges, and confidence in utilizing these materials. The paper concludes by advocating for continued research and collaboration to ensure the successful incorporation of new-generation teaching materials in English language classrooms, ultimately enhancing the quality of English language education in Uzbekistan.
