The Harmony of Kazakh and English: A Creative Lesson on Halloween

On October 29, 2026, as part of English Language Week, Tebegenova Altynarai Temirkhanovna, Associate Professor and Candidate of Philological Sciences at the Department of Social Sciences, Humanities and World Languages, conducted a creative lesson for students from groups ITvEE-1r-26 and BT-1r-26.

The aim of the lesson was to integrate Kazakh and English language learning, improve students’ communication skills in both languages, and encourage them to apply their knowledge in practice. During the introductory part, students explored the history, origins and traditions of Halloween in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Discussing the cultural aspects of the holiday helped broaden their understanding of English-speaking countries and their traditions.

The practical activities were connected with Kazakh grammar topics, including numerals, adjectives, pronouns and verbs. Using pictures displayed on the interactive board, students described characters, counted objects and analysed different situations. By completing tasks in both Kazakh and English, they practised bilingual communication and applied their language skills in practical contexts. The lesson incorporated educational games, pair and group work, and visual analysis. Linking Kazakh and English with the history and culture of English-speaking countries demonstrated an effective approach to interdisciplinary learning.

The creative lesson encouraged active participation, increased students’ interest in language learning, and helped develop critical thinking and intercultural communication skills.
