This research examines the linguistic and cross-cultural challenges faced by ecotourism guides in the rural
regions of Uzbekistan. As the country promotes “green tourism,” the role of rural guides has become pivotal. However,
significant English language barriers and pragmatic failures hinder the quality of service. Through a mixed-methods study
involving 45 guides in the Jizzakh and Navoi regions, this paper identifies specific gaps in English for Specific Purposes
(ESP) and provides data-driven insights into communication anxiety and cultural clashes
