Abstract
The article deals with the specifics of teaching Kazakh language to Russian-speaking technical students at Karaganda State Technical University, Kazakhstan, in the light of the nationwide trilingualism policies. The paper explains ineffectiveness of the traditional grammar-translation method used today in many educational institutions. It has been hypothesized that Kazakh language teachers should use the Communicative language teaching (CLT) methodology, which is rather popular in the West and widely used for teaching foreign languages, in particular English, with its adaptation for Kazakhstan’s conditions. The study gives a model of a communication-based lesson and proves its effectiveness in teaching Kazakh language to Russian-speaking students as well as suggests the possibility of its widespread implementation for training adult population in Kazakhstan.
