Day of languages of the people of Kazakhstan

20 september, 2023

On September 5, the Day of Languages of the People of the country is celebrated in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Teachers of the Department of Language and General Education Training of Foreigners pay special attention to this date. Students from different countries of the world are interested in everything related to the state where they decided to study Kazakh and Russian. In their daily activities, mentors working in foreign audiences constantly draw students' attention to the friendly foreign policy of Kazakhstan, based on creating conditions for the development of languages and cultures of all people living in our country. The training program provides for mandatory acquaintance with Kazakh and Russian culture.
Thematic events dedicated to the Day of Languages of the People of Kazakhstan are held by the curators of the groups throughout September. One of them took place on September 15. Students from China, Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Turkey and other countries told that the date of September 5 is timed to the birthday of the great son of the Kazakh people, scientist, turkologist, educator, Akhmet Baitursynov. Foreign citizens got acquainted with the biography of the genius, his contribution to the development of the Kazakh language, to the education system, as well as the influence of his ideas on modern life. All this helps foreign students to better understand the realities of the country in which they arrived for training. A visit to the Akhmet Baitursynov Museum clearly shows the respect with which this outstanding personality is treated in Kazakhstan. "In order to preserve independence, we must strive with all our might and means for enlightenment and a common culture," wrote the great educator. This and other thoughts of A.Baitursynov are more relevant than ever today.
The teachers of Russian and Kazakh languages of the Department of Language and General Education see their mission not only in teaching the language, but also in cultivating a sense of deep respect for everything connected with our country among young people.
