This study examines English word stress patterns and the challenges Uzbek learners face in mastering them. In English, stress is not fixed and varies depending on word structure and origin. In contrast, Uzbek generally places stress on the final syllable, leading to pronunciation errors in English. The study emphasizes the importance of targeted teaching methods, listening exercises, and stress-focused pronunciation drills to help Uzbek learners overcome these difficulties.
