On October 28, 2026, the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities and World Languages organized a student debate as part of English Language Week under the theme “Student Debate: Two Topics – Two Perspectives.”

The event was organized by lecturers Makhazhanova Lyailya Madibekovna and Aitkulova Kuralay Ongarovna.

During the debate, students discussed two relevant topics: “The Last Human” and “Break the Silence: Stop Bullying.” Participants expressed their views in English, presented arguments to support their positions, and responded to opposing viewpoints.

The main objectives of the event were to improve students’ English-speaking skills, develop critical thinking, encourage them to express their opinions confidently and effectively, and enhance their public speaking abilities.

The debate encouraged active student participation, promoted the exchange of ideas, and provided an opportunity to practise English in a real-life communication setting. Such activities help increase students’ interest in learning English and contribute to the development of their communicative competence.
