Introduction


It is known that after gaining the Independence in Uzbekistan much attention was paid in the field of higher education to such problems of education as the implementation of the test systems, the reorganization of the pedagogical Institutes in regional centers into Universities, giving regional educational institutions higher status, sending students and specialists abroad to study and exchange experience on the account of newly established national organizations and international funds, carrying out concrete work intended to retrain specialists and teachers in the field of business and economics.
On December 10, 2012 a decree, signed by our First President I.A.Karimov was published and the decree was about improving the teaching of foreign languages, especially English and increasing the salaries of teachers of foreign languages. It was an unexpected happiness to all teachers of our Republic loaded a great responsibility on them. At present great importance is attached to the teaching of foreign languages. Today, the importance of our people’s perfect knowledge of foreign languages can scarcely, exaggerated as our country aspires to win a decent place in the word community, because our people see their great future as a life in mutual accord and cooperation with their foreign partners.
However, it is necessary to remember always that the study of foreign languages should not be carried out at the expense of oblivion to the mother tongue.
It is hard to understand and justify a specialist, especially one holding a high post, who is unable to choose fine and appropriate words to express his idea concisely and precisely, in his mother tongue. In our recent past, in most cases the Russian language but not the mother tongue served as mediator in the study of foreign languages. That is why, in particular, until present, English-Uzbek and Uzbek-English dictionaries had not been available.


That is why it is necessary to improve the current situation, to provide
students with all the necessary conditions for the access to this amazing world of
foreign languages. It’s becoming clear that the acquired profession and preparation of graduates cannot meet the requirements of the market economy.
The main aspect of the development of the national economy should be viewed from both economic and social points of view. All kinds of reinforcement of material and technical bases of the social sphere is one of the most important problems in transition to market relations.
Special attentions attached to the 5 main principle of the building of the sovereign state advanced by our First President I.A.Karimov, that were recognized not only in our country, but also abroad.
These principles are the following: economy should be a priority task over politics, the state should act as the main reformer, leadership of law should be established all spheres of life, strong social policy should be implemented in all spheres of life, transition to market economy should be evolutionary step by step exactly these five principles are at the basis of development of our state and branches of economy.
Only well-educated and professional person can be economically free and reliable proponents of the crucial economic transformation. Awarding this truth should like in the bases of the whole development process of spiritual and cultural life of the people, in the renewal of the whole system of education.
We should remember that only that country, that nation can advice great future, prosperity and well-being which would be able to train knowledgeable, professional and energetic persons, true patriots of their country, the country which would provide them with huge spiritual legacy of the great national culture and give them access to the world treasure of science and culture.
There is possibility to radically reform the education system, to bring its contents, forms and methods close to the real need of the, to save the high and secondary schools from conservatism and formalities which rooted deeply into the system of education during the former, previous regime.

Educational establishment of a new type, such as professional colleges, lyceums, business schools and academic lyceums have been crated.
During the last years the most important document aimed at creation of favorable condition to form a new highly educated generation and to support gifted children and the youth were adopted. Among these important document are: “The Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan”, “On the National program of training specialists”, “ On education”, the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers “ On the organization of general secondary education in the Republic of Uzbekistan”.
“The National program of training specialists” stipulates formation of many-sided individual educated thought the system of continuous education organically connected with intellectual, cultural and moral education of a citizen.
One of the main Constitutional guarantees – the right to receive education, realization of creativity, intellectual development – is realized thought this program. The marked of educational services is being for med thought developing marketing in the sphere of education, and training qualified specialists, the system of governmental and non-governmental education establishments, paid consulting and educational services is being developed.
To provide efficient work of educational establishments of a new type and their efficient functioning, the center of the special secondary professional education was formed, as a part of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Education.
According to the instructions of our esteemed President Sh.Mirziyoyev nowadays much attention is being paid to the problems of the development of scientific and research work because the sate will not have its future without all sided elaboration of science. Taking this into account much attention in the Republic is attached to expansion of research work, efficient application of scientific achievements in various spheres of the national economy.
Alongside with numerous fields of science and due to economic reforms such trends of science as economics, history, philosophy, law, sociology and others

are being developed. Wide and profound research work, both of fundamental and applied nature, is being conducted in subdivisions of the Academy of Sciences and in various educational establishments of Uzbekistan.

In the process of realizing reform in the institutions of higher education, we must pay attention to some faults, proceeding from:
1) We must determine what requirements graduate students should answer.
2) We must select talented children, who are thirsty for knowledge; set an equitable system and order of entrance to the institutions of higher education; to create all necessary conditions for getting enough knowledge by students.
3) Our education programs must be brought in correspondence with the modern requirements and established in accordance with our future. In this case, the weak points of our educational programmer should be taken into consideration. For example, such weak points of young specialists and recent graduates as their lack of ability to organize work, little experience in administrative activity, as well as lack of knowledge in marketing and management, social psychology and sociology, require particular attention.
It is also important that a student can independently think, use obtained knowledge in practice, have required level of special professional and organizational- management competence. The life demands to train professionals at the exact work places considering the specifics of production and technological processes. Today’s stage of educational reforms puts forward new objectives, new priorities in the system of continuous education development under realities of globalization, world financial-economic crisis total introduction of information technologies and specific principles of “knowledge economy”, modernization of production forces, progressive development of the state and society.
My qualification paper is devoted to the problems of the English vowels and their modifications in connected speech and has the structure, which meets the requirements applied to the works of the type – it consists of an introduction, 2

chapters, a conclusion with some methodic recommendations and the list of literature.

We know that the phoneme is objective real, because it is realized in speech in the material form of speech sounds, its allophones. Speech sounds are necessarily allophones of one of the phonemes of the language concerned. All the allophones of the same phoneme have some articulatory features in common, that is all of them possess the same invariant. Simultaneously each allophone possesses quite particular phonetic features, which may not be traced in the articulation of other allophones of the same phoneme in their modifications in connected speech. So in my qualification paper the problems of vowel modifications in connected speech of English will be analysed.
