Item Open Access Development of Small and Medium Business Sector in Kazakhstan(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Smirnova ElenaThe small and medium business (SMB) sector plays a vital role in Kazakhstan’s transition toward a market economy. Despite its potential to stimulate innovation, employment, and economic diversification, SMB development faces numerous challenges. These include high tax burdens, complicated licensing procedures, limited access to finance, and corruption. Internal barriers such as insufficient entrepreneurial skills and lack of market knowledge further restrict growth. The success of SMBs depends on systemic economic reforms, effective financial support mechanisms, and strong institutional frameworks that encourage entrepreneurship. Education and training remain essential tools for improving business capacity and reducing transitional disparities. From a regional perspective, Kazakhstan’s SMB development must align with broader integration efforts across Central Asia. Strengthening the private sector, ensuring fair competition, and reducing bureaucratic obstacles are key steps toward sustainable economic development.Item Open Access THE IMPACT OF EXTERNAL SHOCKS ON TOURISM SECTOR: THE CASE OF KAZAKHSTAN(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Yessengali OSKENBAYEVThe objective of this study is to assess the temporal impacts on Kazakhstan's tourist arrivals. An econometric strategy is selected to determine the existence of unit roots in data series containing the quarterly number of tourist arrivals between 2000:1 and 2006:3. The present study finds that the data series contain deterministic trend and seasonal components together with detected structural changes. Hence any form of exogenous shocks, will not have permanent impact on Kazakhstan's tourist arrivals.Item Open Access Remarks on weak o-minimality(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Kudaibergenov K. Zh.This paper investigates several necessary and sufficient conditions for weak o-minimality in expansions of linearly ordered structures. Building on earlier results, we provide a simplified proof of the main theorem of Kulpeshov, which characterizes weak o-minimality in terms of convexity of realizations of types. Additionally, two further equivalent conditions for weak o-minimality are established, involving types containing cuts and convexity properties of definable sets. A new, more conceptual proof of Pillay and Steinhorn’s characterization of full o-minimality is also presented. Furthermore, we examine weakly o-minimal ordered rings and show that every weakly o-minimal Archimedean ordered ring is necessarily a real closed field. This result follows from structural properties of definable subgroups in weakly o-minimal groups and known criteria for ordered fields. Overall, the paper clarifies foundational connections between weak o-minimality, type spaces, and definable order structures.Item Open Access Knowledge-Based Economy: Case of Kazakhstan(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Vaishali S. SapleMost advanced economies have undergone significant structural changes in recent years. One of the key characteristics of the changes is the growing importance of knowledge in all sectors of economic activities. These economies have developed from an agricultural economy in which land is the key resource, then to an industrial economy in which natural resources and labour are the main resources, and now to a knowledge-based economy in which knowledge is the key resource. The term knowledge-based economy results from a fuller recognition of the role of knowledge and technology in economic growth. Knowledge, as embodied in human being (as human capital) and in technology, has always been central to economic development. This paper has two objectives first to understand what knowledge economy is? And then to uses some parameters like: Innovation System, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Human Resources Development and Business Environment to measure the degree to which Kazakhstan is knowledge based economy.Item Open Access English for Specific Purposes (ESP): What is Business English?(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Melike YılmazThis article discusses Business English as a branch of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and its growing importance in global communication. Business English is defined as the specialized use of English in professional and commercial contexts, focusing on effective communication rather than grammatical accuracy. It includes vocabulary and topics related to trade, finance, marketing, management, and international relations. As most business interactions today occur between non-native speakers, both native and non-native users need training in using English appropriately in global settings. The article also emphasizes the teacher’s role as a facilitator who understands corporate culture, business terminology, and cross-cultural communication. Business English teaching must be based on learners’ specific professional needs, helping them apply English in realistic work situations. Therefore, Business English serves not only as a linguistic skill but also as a professional competence essential for success in international business environments.Item Open Access Some Properties of Binomial Coefficients(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Selim GuvercinThis project explores several interesting and useful features of binomial coefficients. The work focuses on understanding when certain binomial numbers are odd or even, how they behave with respect to prime numbers, and whether some of them can form simple number patterns. The project also shows a clear connection between binomial coefficients and prime numbers by proving that one well-known property of these coefficients works only for primes. The study is divided into two parts: the first part introduces the basic concepts needed for the results, and the second part provides explanations for the main findings. Overall, the project offers a clearer understanding of how binomial coefficients behave and why these properties are important in basic mathematics.Item Open Access THE UNDERSTANDING OF VALUES EDUCATION IN AZERBAIJANIAN CHILDREN LITERATURE(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) İBRAHİM KURTIt's clear that children who are the basic of society have been needed to educate. This need is confirmed all of the world countries.

It provides a comprehensive overview of metacognitive, cognitive, and social-affective strategies, as well as specific techniques that enhance comprehension, memorization, and communication skills. Metacognitive strategies include planning, directed attention, self-management, and evaluation — enabling learners to consciously control their learning process. Cognitive strategies involve manipulation and transformation of learning material through repetition, note-taking, deduction, and elaboration. Social-affective strategies highlight the role of interaction, cooperation, and self-motivation in language acquisition. The paper further explores processes such as clarification, logical reasoning, memorization, compensation, and automatic regulation. Rubin’s (1995) profile of a “good learner” is discussed, emphasizing characteristics like active communication, tolerance of mistakes, autonomous practice, and constant self-monitoring. The study concludes that effective second language learning depends on the dynamic integration of direct and indirect strategies and that learner autonomy and motivation play decisive roles in mastering linguistic competence.Item Open Access Similar Words in Business English and Russian Language(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Melike YılmazThis study explores lexical similarities between Business English and Russian, focusing on how international trade and historical relations have shaped both languages. English, as a global language of business, communication, and technology, has significantly influenced Russian, particularly since the 16th century when trade between England and Russia began. The article traces the borrowing of English business terms into Russian, showing how globalization and economic cooperation have expanded shared vocabulary in fields such as finance, trade, and management. Using data from the Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford Russian Dictionary, and online linguistic sources, the study identifies numerous cognates and loanwords (e.g., akt–act, analiz–analysis, auktsion–auction). The research highlights that linguistic convergence reflects deeper economic and cultural integration between nations, demonstrating how business interaction fosters language evolution and mutual intelligibility in international communication.Item Open Access Techniques in Teaching Vocabulary in Beginner Classes(Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Yakup DoganayThis article explores the importance of vocabulary teaching in early English learning and presents practical techniques for effective vocabulary instruction. The author emphasizes that vocabulary knowledge plays a central role in communication and language fluency, yet it is often neglected in early education. The paper outlines several stages and methods, including the use of realia, visual aids, gestures, repetition, and communicative activities to make word learning meaningful. It also discusses the necessity of creating a sense of need for vocabulary among learners, encouraging active use through drawing, guessing games, and writing tasks. The article highlights that vocabulary learning should go beyond rote memorization, integrating context, emotion, and interaction to ensure long-term retention. The study concludes that teachers should adopt structured, student-centered approaches to vocabulary teaching to enhance learners’ motivation and communicative competence.
