The Department of Kazakh and Russian Languages

Modern conditions for the development of Kazakhstani society pose new challenges for higher education. The higher education system should prepare not only an educated person, but also a citizen, a patriot of his country. And in this regard, the role of humanitarian education, which shapes a person’s worldview, is great. Humanities education is more than in demand today. The facets of humanities education intersect with history, economics, linguistics, and psychology.
