The Faculty of Uzbek Language and Literature is one of the two main faculties established alongside the founding of Jizzakh State Pedagogical Institute in 1974. The first dean was Khudoybergan Jo\u2018rayev, a candidate of philological sciences and associate professor. In its early stages, the faculty operated with only nine instructors, training specialists in Uzbek Language and Literature, Russian Language and Literature, and Primary Education.<\/p>\n
Initially, the faculty included the departments of \u201cUzbek Linguistics,\u201d \u201cUzbek Literature,\u201d and \u201cRussian Language and Literature.\u201d Classes were held on the first and second floors of the building now known as the \u201cMonomarkaz for Serving the Unemployed Population\u201d in Jizzakh city. In 1976, two separate faculties were spun off from its structure: the Faculty of Pedagogy and Primary Education Methodology and the Faculty of Russian Language and Literature. From this period, Mukhtor To\u2018ychiyev was appointed dean of the faculty.<\/p>\n
Over the years, the faculty has been led by prominent scholars of Uzbek linguistics and literature, including Po\u2018lat Hamdamov, Solijon Boymatov, Olimjon Jo\u2018rayev, O\u2018rol Nosirov, Rashid Kholmurodov, Usmonjon Qosimov, Bahodir Fayzullayev, Abdunazar Nurmanov, Abduvali Musayev, Shohqadam Haydarov, Qahramon Yodgorov, Fazliddin Ravshanov, Umrzoq Jumanazarov, and Sunnat Soipov, all of whom were pedagogues with significant academic potential.<\/p>\n
In 1991, the Department of Oriental Languages was established, led by Associate Professor Javqon Lapasov. As a scholar proficient in Arabic, Persian, and Uzbek languages, he advanced the development of Oriental philology within the faculty.<\/p>\n
In 1992, the faculty was relocated to a newly constructed main building. From 2020, the renovated Building No. 2 (formerly the Physics Faculty building) was assigned to the faculty. During this period, the practice of electing deans was introduced, ensuring transparency in the faculty\u2019s internal management.<\/p>\n
Over the years, faculty professors have published over 30 textbooks, monographs, and methodological manuals. Works by scholars such as Olimjon Jo\u2018rayev, Fayzulla Boynazarov, Usmonjon Qosimov, Isomiddin Ikromov, Yulduz Karimova, Nodira Soatova, and Murodulla Jo\u2018rayev are widely used across the republic.<\/p>\n
Currently, the faculty employs 47 professors and instructors. It comprises two main departments: \u201cMethodology of Teaching Uzbek Language\u201d and \u201cUzbek Language and Literature.\u201d These departments train specialists at both bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s levels.<\/p>\n
More than 20 master\u2019s students are studying at the faculty, guided by highly qualified academic mentors. Students actively participate in scientific conferences, clubs, and project-based activities. The faculty maintains scientific collaborations with institutions such as the National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature, the Alisher Navoi Literature Museum, and others.<\/p>\n
To date, the faculty has trained nearly 6,000 specialists. Among its graduates are notable writers, linguists, journalists, educators, and public figures, including Surayyo Eshonqulova, Shahlo Botirova, Latofat Ne\u2019mat qizi, Alisher Qodirov, G\u2018ofir Qarshiboyev, and Mavlona Nargiza Eshqo\u2018ziyevna, who are considered the pride of the faculty.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-75383","faculties","type-faculties","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jdpu.uz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculties\/75383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jdpu.uz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculties"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jdpu.uz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faculties"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jdpu.uz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
