Within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, the teachers of the Department of Language and General Education Training of Foreigners of the Faculty of Pre-University Education carry out a lot of educational work with the students of the faculty. This aspect of training meets the direction of SDG No. 4, such as "Quality education". Much time, in addition to classroom work, teachers spend with their students, since our students come to study in Kazakhstan from a variety of countries and, of course, do not know anything about the history of the country and its features of development. Therefore, in all groups of the faculty, for such a big holiday as Independence Day, the advisors hold open advisor hours. The teachers tell the foreign students about the history of the country in which they are currently studying – the Republic of Kazakhstan, about the history of the state holiday – Independence Day, explain to them the significance of this holiday for all Kazakhstanis. Students are interested in listening to the teachers' stories. When students learn about the history of their country, it is helpful for them to listen to the national anthem. The Chinese students have tried to translate the words of the Kazakh national anthem into Chinese, which has sparked their interest and creativity as literary translators. Although our students are just beginning to learn Russian, they have a strong desire to understand and speak Russian fluently, and they are eager to become proficient in translating from Russian to Chinese and vice versa. The atmosphere of the advisor hour was very warm, kind, and positive.
