The Role of Native Language Interference in Uzbek Students’ English Writing Skills
Abstract
Abstract: This paper explores the influence of the Uzbek native language (L1) on the English writing skills (L2) of Uzbek students. It focuses on how differences in grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure between Uzbek and English affect learners’ written performance. The study also discusses common types of interference, such as literal translation, word order errors, and misuse of articles, and offers pedagogical strategies to minimize these issues.
