A new mobile application "Zabondon" ("Language Expert") has been introduced in Tajikistan, developed to improve the level of foreign language proficiency among the population. This was reported by NIAT "Khovar" with reference to the Main Education Department of Dushanbe.
The development and launch of the application became part of the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan dated March 18, 2024, which provides for the mandatory study of foreign languages – Russian, English and others – in educational institutions of the country. The presentation of the digital resource is timed to coincide with the Youth Day of Tajikistan, celebrated annually in May.
The Zabondon application was created by the State Institution "Analytical and Information Center under the Main Education Department of Dushanbe" and is available for users of mobile devices on the Android platform. The program interface is in Tajik, which makes it as convenient and accessible as possible for local users.
The program is primarily focused on learning English, but in the future it is planned to expand the functionality and add other languages. "Zabondon" works in an offline mode, which is especially important for users with limited access to the Internet. The system uses interactive teaching methods: pronunciation exercises, tests, audio and video materials, as well as gamification elements, which makes the learning process more exciting and effective.
As noted by the education department, the launch of Zabondon is an important step in the digitalization of the educational environment in Tajikistan. The application is in line with the state strategy to improve the quality of education, improve the language training of young people and strengthen the country's position in the context of globalization and international integration.
"The Zabondon application was developed taking into account modern pedagogical and digital approaches. It is aimed at stimulating the interest of young people in learning foreign languages and developing their competitive skills," the department emphasized.
The mobile application is already available on Google Play and is available at the link:
