The Department of English Phonetics and Grammar of the Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication at Osh State University, in cooperation with Ala-Too International University, is implementing a project aimed at integrating the ideas of sustainable development into philological education and foreign language teaching.

The project, launched in 2025, will continue until 2029. A total of 30 students and 15 teachers from the two higher educational institutions are actively involved. The main goal of the project is to introduce the principles of sustainable development into the content of philological education, as well as to develop students’ research, analytical, and practical skills.

In addition, Osh State University has been offering an elective course entitled “Sustainable Development in Education” since 2018 within the framework of the 550300 Philological Education degree program. As part of this course, the annual “Green Week” event is regularly held.

The current results of the project were widely presented at the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Philology, Education and a Sustainable Future,” held on March 21, 2026. Scholars, teachers, and researchers from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India, and Russia participated in the event and exchanged experience.

During the conference, participants emphasized the importance of combining philological education with the goals of sustainable development and highlighted the relevance of innovative approaches, new academic programs, and scientific research in this field.
