    STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF TEACHERS’ CODE-SWITCHING IN ENGLISH MEDIUM INSTRUCTIONS CONTEXT
    (SDU University, 2025) Yekaterina Nam; Davronzhon Gaipov
    English Medium Instructions (EMI) is a system that has become commonly adopted by numerous universities, and according to its specific peculiarities, EMI can deliver both opportunities and challenges to the learners. To prevent the challenges, some teachers implement code-switching into their lessons. This study is focused on students’ perceptions of teachers’ code-switching in EMI-context, considering TFL and Engineering students as representatives of students from Humanitarian and STEM faculties. Face-to-face interviews were conducted in this qualitative study. Eight participants: four students from the TFL faculty and four from the Engineering faculty, revealed their perspectives. The collected data was processed in thematic analysis. In conclusion, it was investigated that TFl-students’ perceptions of code-switching appear rather negative, contrasting with Engineering students’ perceptions. It was recommended for teachers to implement either code-switching or translanguaging strategically, in a deliberate manner, taking into account learners’ first languages, thus not leading to the phenomenon of discrimination.

    THE TEACHERS' AND STUDENTS' AWARENESS OF STEM EDUCATION PRACTICED IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN KAZAKHSTANI SPECIALIZED SCHOOLS
    (СДУ хабаршысы - 2022, 2022) Gulnaz Turaliyeva; Gulnara Kassymova
    Abstract. This article highlights the vital role of teaching STEM (Science. Technology, Engineering and Math) in English in Kazakhstani secondary schools specialized in science and explores teachers' and students’ knowledge and awareness of STEM education practiced in English. The data reflected in this article is based on small-scale research held through the survey conducted among 149 Kazakhstani secondary school learners with in-depth study in math, physics and biology and interviews with 3 content teachers who practice teaching STEM subjects in English in schools specialized in science. The results of the survey demonstrate that students’ general knowledge about a term of STEM is relatively low. Also, the results of the interview with teachers show that the STEM approach is applied through English in specialized schools and participants relate this approach to other methods such as PBL and CLIL. It provides encouraging expectations for further study and implementation of integrated STEM education with ELT in Kazakhstani secondary schools.
