Vocabulary learning is a crucial component of language acquisition, playing a significant role in the overall proficiency of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. In Uzbekistan, where English is increasingly regarded as a key tool for global communication, the attitudes of both students and teachers towards vocabulary learning are essential to understanding and improving the educational process. This research aims to explore the perceptions, challenges, and strategies related to English vocabulary learning among EFL students and teachers in Uzbekistan. By examining these attitudes, the study seeks to uncover the underlying factors that influence vocabulary acquisition and identify potential areas for pedagogical improvement. This investigation is particularly relevant in the context of Uzbekistan's educational reforms and its efforts to enhance English language teaching to better integrate into the global community (Uzbekistan Ministry of Public Education, 2020).
