This proposal presents a comprehensive plan for the enhancement of the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program at Uzbek State World Languages University, specifically designed for B2-level freshman students. The primary objective is to address the diverse linguistic backgrounds of students and improve their adaptability to English Medium Instruction. The revised program emphasizes the simultaneous development of language proficiency and academic skills through an integrated skills approach, incorporating critical thinking, research methodologies, and presentation skills. A structured curriculum aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) will be implemented, featuring a placement test, level-based instruction, and a supportive learning environment. The proposal outlines the necessary implementation strategies involving faculty training, curriculum development, assessment measures, and resource allocation, ultimately aiming to enhance both students' academic success and the university's reputation.
