On 22 October 2026, Astana International University hosted a guest lecture titled “A New Formula for the Kazakh Language”, aimed at increasing students’ interest in learning the state language.

The event was organised by Gulnar Nygmetkyzy Zaisanbayeva, Candidate of Philological Sciences and Senior Lecturer at the Department of Kazakh and Russian Languages and History of the Institute of Pedagogy.

The distinguished guests were Vladislav Ten, a well-known Kazakhstani polyglot and linguist, and Nikolai Mayevsky, a psychologist and chess coach.

The lecture was conducted in an interactive dialogue format. Participants discussed current issues in learning the Kazakh language, the distinctive aspects of mastering foreign languages, and the role of motivation and thinking in the educational process.
