In our increasingly interconnected world, proficiency in English has become a vital skill for individuals seeking to engage in global communication, education, and business. One of the critical aspects of language proficiency is the ability to express oneself effectively through spoken communication. In the context of English language education, enhancing oral proficiency is a central goal. This essay explores the effective strategies for achieving this objective through innovative approaches and interactive materials. The main methods used in this research include scientific analysis and synthesis, description, discussion, and lesson modeling. The research results encompass the enhancement of the professional competence of future English language teachers and practical experience in the use of innovative approaches and interactive materials in English language teaching, leading to the improvement of the educational process in pre-service training. Conclusions drawn from the research demonstrate how the application of research materials contributed to the development of the professional expertise of future English language teachers.The research materials are original and were obtained during the professional training of future English language teachers in September-December 2022.

“…In Kazakhstani (KZ, henceforth) EFL context, previous studies predominantly focused on the role of the English language in relation to the country's trilingual education (Akynova et al 2014;Jantassova 2015;Yeskeldiyeva & Tazhibayeva 2015;Tussupbekova & Enders 2016;Prilipko 2017). The speaking aspect was only addressed in Suleimenova's (2013) and Tleuov's (2016) studies with the former analysing the factors associated with speaking anxiety among high school students, while the latter examining teachers' beliefs and practices in teaching speaking.…”

Teaching and learning of English as a spoken language in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) still remains a major concern in Asian context as evident from recent studies. The situation is similar in Central Asian classrooms where it received little attention. Specifically, this study investigates a classroom in a local public school in Kazakhstan through the lens of a teacher and the students during speaking activities. A case study qualitative approach was employed using interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis as data collection methods. In total, 21 individual interviews and 30 hours of classroom observations were conducted and recorded. Analyses and interpretations of data show that firstly the speaking activities lack in negotiation of meaning as they are predominantly aimed at predetermined monological performance-based speech. Secondly, out-of-school learning was prevalent among the majority of students at private learning centres. Also, selflearning at home was practiced by male students via interacting with foreign players in online video games and by female students via watching English movies. Thirdly, classroom interactions were accountable in facilitating and inhibiting the practice of speaking. Finally, there was a mismatch between the perceptions of the teacher and the students on the challenges of the speaking practice. The teacher indicated insufficient teaching hours and students' limited background knowledge, while the students emphasised the teacher's unwillingness to use English as a language of instruction and to practice impromptu speech in class. In summary, the findings highlight some of the apprehensions faced by the teacher and the students which reveals the current English speaking practice in Kazakhstani classroom.

“…The staff should also be able to update teaching methods to meet global best practices. As noted by Jantassova (2015), a working knowledge of English alongside the Kazakh and Russian languages now forms the basis for ensuring a high level of educational quality nationally and consequently the development of international cooperation. Indeed, upgrading teaching skills within Kazakhstan is a top priority nowadays although educators face a 'switching codes' issue because of the transition to trilingualism (Ishmuratova, 2016).…”

The national project Trinity of Languages announced in Kazakhstan has brought forward multilingual education throughout the country. The project requires the implementation of rigorous learning tools to master the Kazakh, Russian and English languages within trilingualism. An e-dictionary to be used in content and language integrated learning is among modern e-tools promoted in a trilingual school environment. A user-friendly biological e-dictionary will help high school learners grasp fundamental concepts in natural sciences. The article aims to describe how to analyze and systemize the lexicographic material selected for developing a trilingual e-dictionary of biological terms for Kazakhstani school learners. Determining sources of vocabulary chosen was based upon a linguocultural approach, which highlights the cultural aspect embodied in the language, and mind-mapping, which allows deconstructing complex topics graphically. Twenty-eight items were selected to cover the biology school course, which was later analyzed and systemized to consistently present generic and species features via mind-mapping. Then organic unification of the items and compositional parameters of the e-dictionary were determined. The obtained findings show that a linguocultural component is embedded in a trilingual e-dictionary of biological terms that are taken from relevant Kazakh and Russian school textbooks (grades 6–11). The selected items are classified and subject to linguocultural analysis in conceptual groups which may show phytonyms and zoonima. The items are supplied with an adequate linguocultural commentary taken from English-language reference books and websites. The conceptual groups and linguistic analysis are displayed via the mind map Coggle used for the e-dictionary frame formation. The proposed linguocultural component embedded in the edictionary is rare in other existing trilingual e-dictionaries since they focus primarily on lexicographic material and their visual representation. Overall, the trilingual e-dictionary created in mind-mapping software is an effective etool for high school learners to study biological terms with their linguocultural commentaries.
