The target learners are first-year students of Uzbekistan State World Languages University, consisting of 12 girls and 2 boys. They come from diverse backgrounds, including Uzbeks, Kazakhs, and Karakalpaks. The students have varying ethnicities, reflecting the multicultural nature of the university. According to a study by Smith (2018), students from different ethnic backgrounds bring unique perspectives to the learning environment, enriching the overall experience.

In terms of socioeconomic status, the students come from middle-class families. Their hobbies include watching Ted talks and listening to podcasts in their free time. They are proficient in their first language (L1), which is typically Uzbek or Kazakh.

The students have both strong and weak sides when it comes to learning English grammar. Some excel in understanding complex concepts, while others struggle with grammar rules. The lesson on relative clauses (restrictive and non-restrictive clause) is conducted twice a week, with each session lasting 80 minutes.

The students upload their homework assignments on the Hemis platform, where they also take their mid-term and final exams. Many of the students aspire to become English teachers in the future. Code-switching is common among the students, as they often mix their L1 with English during conversations.

Despite their enthusiasm for learning English, students face obstacles such as limited access to resources and lack of exposure to native speakers. However, with dedication and support from their teachers, they are determined to overcome these challenges and succeed in their language learning journey.
