Abstract

In this article, problems related to the formation of skills related to the correct pronunciation of English words in schoolchildren with visual disabilities in Uzbekistan are studied through the interview method. In this case, there is a lack of literature in Braille, differences arising in connection with the writing and pronunciation of words in Uzbek and English, confusion arising from similarities and differences between the English alphabet based on Braille and the Uzbek alphabet in Latin graphics, lack of educational materials, preparation of basic and additional educational literature. special attention is paid to the analysis of such problems as the difficulties associated with the same category of students, such as psychological difficulties in learning the English language.
