"Kazakhstan has seen the world over as a highly educated country, with a population use three languages​​: Kazakh - government,  Russian is as the language of international communication and English is for successful integration into the global economy."

 

  One of the most important aspects of taking place in the Kazakh society of economic and social modernization advocates policy language. The leader of the nation's attention to this component of public policy is obvious and deserves the most careful study and analysis , as it is in our country implemented a unique project initiated by the head of state - the trinity of languages. In today's world of multilingual and multicultural than ever urgent problem of contingency language , the search for effective and sustainable programs in the field of languages ​​consolidation companies. In this regard, the importance and relevance of multilingual education, which is the result of the introduction of the idea of the President of the trinity of languages ​​is not in doubt.

In his speeches and appeals of President Nursultan Nazarbayev has repeatedly talked about the importance and significance of polylingual for multinational Kazakhstan society . The idea of ​​the trinity of languages ​​in Kazakhstan for the first time the President announced back in 2004 , later returning to it repeatedly . In October 2006, the XII Session of the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan President reiterated that the knowledge of at least three languages ​​is important for the future of our children. And already in 2007 in his address to the people of Kazakhstan "New Kazakhstan in a New World," the Head of State proposed to begin a phased implementation of the cultural project "Trinity of languages" . From that moment it began a new language policy of independent Kazakhstan, which today can be an example for other countries in the degree of popularity in the community and the level of their performance. Harmoniously entered in a process of spiritual development of the people, the language policy is inseparable from the general policy of large-scale social modernization. The President believes that the success of the modernization is very important that every citizen was useful to his homeland. Modernization is necessary for all citizens of Kazakhstan . Only with this understanding can be achieved by a broad social consensus and success  [1].

" Kazakhstan has seen the world over as a highly educated country - repeatedly emphasized the President , - the population can use three languages ​​. They are: Kazakh - official language , Russian language - the language of international communication and English language - the language of successful integration into the global economy " [2]. For Kazakhstan idea trinity of languages ​​is particularly important because the head of state was formulated in response to the call of time , as a solution to the vital needs of society, actively integrating into the global world . Kazakhstan's integration into the world community now depends on the awareness and implementation of a simple truth : the world is open to anyone who can master new knowledge through the mastery of dominant languages ​​. Thanks to the initiative of the President of our country began implementing the concept polylingual in education, because that's what polylingual  will strengthen the competitiveness of Kazakhstan.

Modern language situation in Kazakhstan suggests a trinity of  languages ​​as a significant factor in strengthening social cohesion . The diversity of cultures and languages ​​, and their equal co-existence are the absolute property of our country, as well as language policy pursued ensures that the linguistic rights of all ethnic groups , and provides a free choice of language for communication, education, implementation of creative needs. Positivity of three languages ​​for the Kazakh community possible if a single political , ideological, cultural platform. And this platform has already been set by the President to explain the essence of the " Trinity of languages" - the study of the Kazakh as the state language , Russian - as the language of international communication and English - as the language of successful integration into the global economy . Creating a level playing field for the study identified three languages ​​does not mean equal to their area of ​​operation , equal to the functional load and, finally, their equal status. The emphasis is on teaching the cultural component of this project , which can fully be described as multilingual education . However, the activation of the controversy surrounding the language situation in Kazakhstan in the past few years is related to polylingual, suggesting that the new faces of language education .

In these circumstances, the problem is updated formation and development of multilingual education. To solve the problem of effective implementation of the President polylingual in education should be brought into a single system fragmented accumulated practice of multilingual education in selected universities and schools of the Republic of Kazakhstan and to ensure continuity of educational programs. This would , in turn , develop a set of scientific guidelines for the implementation of the principle of continuity of multilingual education in the " school -university" , the socio- economic effect of which is determined by that will create real conditions for the solution of the objectives of the State Program for Development of Education for 2011-2020 "... the teaching staff with multilingual education in the universities of the country, " In order to create innovative models of multilingual education the number of schools offering education in three languages ​​, will increase from 33 to 700 , including the number of schools network "  Nazarbayev   Intellectual Schools " will expand from 6 to 20. These schools will be the base platform for testing models of multilingual education, innovation in education [3]  increasing demand of the state language "," increase the prestige of the state language , "" preservation of linguistic diversity in Kazakhstan , "" preservation of the Russian language in communicative language space ", " the study of English and other foreign languages ​​" [1] due to: the system of scientific and methodological support for the continuous activity of multilingual education , the formation of polylingual educational environment , infrastructure expansion of multilingual education, the development of intercultural communicative paradigm of modern language education , the development of intellectual potential of the country on the basis of initiation of its citizens to the values ​​of language and culture.

Ministry of Education and Science made ​​concrete steps to implement multilingual education in higher education , in particular, the amount of  loans extended to the study of  languages ​​in the state standards in " Education ", which will allow students to third year students in the amount of 2 credits study course " Professional Kazakh / Russian "and" professionally oriented foreign language . " The basic institutions of higher education of the Republic to introduce poly - lingual education , including Karaganda State University named after academician E.A. Buketov , has accumulated some experience in teacher training in the field of polylingual , carried out a comprehensive work on the formation of educational materials in English , established academic framework for effective learning Kazakh , Russian and English, a language teacher training started . Developed by teams of educational-methodical complexes on special subjects in English, published under the imprint of the Ministry of   Education and Science of the trilingual terminological dictionaries, published tutorials , workshops , has successfully implemented the Republican budget program "Improving the training and retraining of staff of public institutions of education." Together with the Republican Scientific and Practical Centre of the Ministry of Education and Science "Daryn" training seminars, national competitions in the English language, developed educational-methodical complexes in English for special schools with instruction in three languages.

With the direct participation of basic schools to implement  polylingual   the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2012 , a Concept of  Development of multilingual education in which an analysis of the conditions and opportunities of the modern education system for the realization of the idea trinity of languages ​​and identified priority areas for the development of multilingual education. This requires, first of  all, the review of the content of modern language education in general , which will require to develop a package of documents defining the strategy and tactics of learning languages ​​in the education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan . In addition, the need to design new content language education , conceptually sound , software designed , the implementation of which should be governed by standard requirements , evidence-based guidelines and recommendations . One of the important factors in the development polylingual are ethno- linguistics research in the field in which to be developed evidence-based guidelines and regulations for educational practice on a rational combination of spheres of influence , functioning and development of  languages. The current stage of development of multilingual education in Kazakhstan is in need of specific organizational forms of its implementation, which may make the Republican Coordinating and Research Centre for multilingual education , centers of development of multilingual education in universities and provincial departments of education , training seminars to introduce tiered model of teaching Kazakh , Russian , English , mechanisms of pedagogical monitoring of multilingual education.

This project is largely conditioned by the formation of a new generation of   Kazakhstan , owning several languages, with positive growth opportunities of its intrinsic forces and the formation of competitiveness both in the professional field as well as in personal self-realization .
