Innovation in Language Learning

Historical development of multilingualism in Kazakhstan consists of several stages. It will be discussed in the report in more detail. Moreover, the implementation of teaching several languages into the education system of Kazakhstan, its current development, and the peculiarities of teaching Kazakh language in this system will be discussed.

In the current times of rapidly developing technological progresses, the development of quality education and educated youth is very important. For this reason, a number of state projects and programs were developed in the education system. On the basis of these programs professional development courses for teachers of secondary schools were organized. The language of instruction in secondary schools is carried out in several languages in collaboration with international partners (only Kazakh-Turkish Lyceums teach in Kazakh, English, Russian, Turkish languages). In addition, higher education institutions having English as the language of instruction in addition to Kazakh and Russian languages have launched their programs. This aim of this report is to answer to the following research question: The aims, peculiarities of multilingual education in Kazakhstan, and its influence on the development of Kazakh Language.   

In contemporary Kazakhstan it is important to master the knowledge of the Kazakh, English and Russian languages. In this respect, what would the multilingual teaching system grant us? What models of teaching are implemented? What language is the dominant one? How English and Russian influence teaching Kazakh? This paper reviews the sociological side of these questions.  We also search the ways of solving this problem. In our opinion, this research work would also burst the interest of scientists from other countries that practice the bilingual and multilingual system of teaching.
