EXPLORING NEEDS OF MATH LEARNERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

The present research aimed at investigating the attitude of Math students towards English reading classes. The researcher employed an analytic-experimental method through questionnaire to know their current level, objective and needs for learning English. The study was conducted with second-year Math faculty students at Gulistan State university in Uzbekistan during the first semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. The conducted studies showed that the learners require English for three distinct purposes: 1) to pursue their graduate and post-graduate degrees (Doctorate, Master’s Degrees); 2) to raise employability standards in the workforce; and 3) to use world scientific resources. Compared to other language skills, reading is more crucial since it gives students volume of information. Further evidence from the students' responses suggests that the variety of language proficiency, the complexity of the texts, and their lack of enthusiasm or drive for the subject matter all contributed to their difficulties in learning reading lessons. Nonetheless, a well - designed and organized reading course can significantly accelerate a second language learning process
