The Republican Subject Olympiad among pre-service English teachers held for the first time at ENU
According to the decision of the Committee of Higher and Postgraduate Education of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, L.N. Gumilyev Eurasian National University became the basis for the Republican Subject Olympiad among students of the educational program “Foreign Language: Two Foreign Languages” for the first time in the history of the Olympiad. On May 29-30, 2024, students from 24 universities in Kazakhstan took part in the 2nd round of the Olympiad. The organizers of the long-awaited event were the Department of Academic Affairs and the Department of Theory and Practice of Foreign Languages at the Faculty of Philology of ENU. The format of the Olympiad also became in its history as something unprecedented: both stages of the second round of the Olympiad were held online on the Zoom and Microsoft Teams platforms using available online tools (NumGener, Prozavr, Google.forms).
The teaching staff of the organizing department prepared a variety of tasks for the participants of the Olympiad, allowing the jury to identify the most talented and most well-prepared students: introducing themselves with the interviewing members of the jury, where teachers asked each participant questions of a general professional nature; solving one of the 40 professional tasks developed by ENU teaching staff; defense of the project presentation - a homework by the model of the Ablai Khan University, where the Olympiad traditionally took place until 2024.
The ceremonial event was opened with a welcoming speech by the Member of the Board - vice-President for Academic Affairs of NcJSC "L.N. Gumilyev ENU" A.B. Beisenbai. Next, the participants of the republican Olympiad saw a video message from the dean of the pedagogical faculty of foreign languages of Ablai Khan University, Islam A.I., and heard congratulating speech from the Chairman of the Association of English Language Teachers of Kazakhstan 'KazTEA', Letyaynika T.A.
The moderator and chairman of the jury – the head of the organizing department Beisembayeva Zh. A., also wished success to all 100 participants from 24 Kazakh universities and provided instructions on the further progress of the online Olympiad.
“This year ENU surprised everyone with a new format for holding the annual Republican Olympiad: the online mode allowed many universities in our country that train English teachers to send their participants and jury members. We hope that the university that is going to hold the Olympiad next year will allow us to establish a new tradition - the online format,” said Kashkinbaeva Zamzagul Zhanaidarovna, Ph.D., Associate Professor of O.A. Baikonurov Zhezkazgan University.
“We are glad to take part in the Olympiad both as participants and as members of the jury. ENU proposed to include one representative of each participating university in the jury, which allows the opinion of every one of us to be taken into account.
I especially liked the professional problems developed by ENU, which were solved by the participants of the Olympiad,” Kudritskaya Marina Ivanovna, Ph.D., acting Associate Professor of Akhmeta Baitursynuly Kostanay Regional University, praised the organizers.
Two days of fruitful work by the members of the jury of the Olympiad made it possible to award six diplomas from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan and 21 diplomas from the Chairman of the Board - President of ENU to the best participants of the republican subject Olympiad in the EP “Foreign language: two foreign languages”.
