Abstract
In Kyrgyzstan, questions of language have mainly focused around dealing with the consequences of the colonial period and the complex multilingualism that resulted. Within this complex multilingualism, English has come to play a role in education, but the learning of English takes place in a context in which development of other languages takes precedence, at least at the level of policy. The teaching of English has faced a number of problems, such as shortage of qualified teachers and lack of materials and resources, the level of achievement in school language programs is generally not well developed and there exist few opportunities to use English outside educational contexts.
