The purpose of this research; the aim of this study is to evaluate the views of biology students on the technology of creating multilingual competencies. In this study, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred. The study group of the research consists of 80 biology students studying in biology departments at universities in Kazakhstan in the 2022–2023 academic year. The data collection tool of the research is the semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. The content analysis method was used in the analysis of the research data. As a result of the research; it has been revealed that the majority of biology students participating in the research have moderate multilingual proficiency. The majority of biology students who evaluated the possibilities of creating multilingual competence in universities stated that they also found these opportunities at a moderate level. Regarding their motivation to benefit from multilingual competence-building technology, the majority of biology teachers stated that they were highly motivated. The results obtained from the research necessitated the reorganisation of the education given to biology students in universities in order to gain multilingual competence.

IntroductionThis study explored the opinions and experiences of senior EFL teachers and experts regarding the appropriate training of foreign language teachers to implement the 4C (critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration) model of education in foreign language teaching.MethodsTo achieve its goal, the study employed a mixed-methods approach, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Purposive sampling was used to select 12 participants who were the most knowledgeable and experienced in the research topic, and in-depth one-on-one interviews were conducted with them. Thematic analysis was used to identify major themes and patterns in the participants’ responses. Additionally, a survey was conducted with 60 EFL students to assess the impact of the 4C training on their learning outcomes.ResultsThe findings of the study revealed that participants perceived the 4C model of education as an effective approach for teaching foreign languages. They also emphasized the importance of providing appropriate training to foreign language teachers to enable them to effectively implement the 4C model. The survey data showed that the 4C training had a positive impact on the students’ learning outcomes.DiscussionThe study contributes to the existing literature on foreign language education by providing insights into the perceptions and experiences of senior EFL teachers and experts regarding the appropriate training of foreign language teachers to implement the 4C model. The study recommends that teacher training programs be revised to include the 4C model of education to improve the quality of foreign language education in Kazakhstan.
