Course Description
This course is designed to develop advanced Kazakh for professional use. Students will build the ability to use specialist vocabulary relevant to their field, academic terminology, and complex syntactic structures. By mastering the features of business and professional communication in Kazakh and the functional styles of speech, learners will be able to express their ideas accurately and appropriately in writing across a range of professional contexts, speak confidently in public, and develop effective oratorical skills within their discipline.

Course Aim
The course seeks to enhance appreciation of Kazakh as the state language and to strengthen its perceived value and status. It aims to shape students’ outlook so that they use Kazakh as a means of communication in socio-cultural and professional spheres of public life, and recognise it as a value that forms and preserves national identity and worldview. The course content is structured to develop a well-rounded individual with strong intellectual capacity, deep understanding, and an active civic position—someone able to articulate informed opinions on socially significant issues and approach matters creatively and constructively. Within the course, Kazakh is taught as both a communication and a cognitive tool: a means of understanding the world, identifying and discussing universal and national issues, proposing solutions, and expressing one’s views freely, clearly, and with appropriate academic and professional restraint.

1) development, further improvement, and systematic mastery of students' existing language skills in the Kazakh language;
2) in terms of Pronunciation skills, students must meet the requirements for gathering information, conducting complex interviews, participating in debates and round tables, giving informational presentations, and public speaking;
3) Writing skills - developing skills in writing letters, abstracts, annotations, essays, informational and analytical articles, and expert articles;
4) Reading skills - mastering the skills and abilities to understand, analyze, research, and draw conclusions from complex texts, identify cause-and-effect relationships, and apply them when necessary;
5) Listening and pronunciation skills - starting with listening to short texts and interviews, listening to a stream of information in various genres, developing skills such as understanding basic information, identifying the main points, and summarizing the main idea.
