Abstract: It is important to investigate the attitudes and motivations of varying local communities with different levels of English language proficiency (ELP) towards Language Policy with English (LPwE) in Kyrgyzstan. Therefore, this study attempts to determine correlations between ELP and LPwE. What Kyrgyzstani people think about current language policies that encourage learning English? The local communities, in this study, are represented by participants whose first language is Russian and Kyrgyz. A particular interest is how attitudes towards LPwE differ among people, whose first languages (L1) and ELP are different. The term LPwE in this article is the level of inclusion of English in official language policies, which is a growing trend in the world, including Kyrgyzstan.
Keywords: language proficiency, verbal fluency, language policy with English, support for multilingualism policy.
