On November 21,  Abai Research Institute and  the "Kokzhiek" scientific and creative club "Kokzhiyok" held a literary and educational meeting - lesson on the topic:  "The heart is the sea, everything interesting is a precious stone" for  the 1st year students of  "Literary Studies" and "Applied Kazakh Linguistics"  majors of the Faculty of Philology. 

The famous poet, the  professional translator,  the winner of  "Alash"  literary award , Yerzhan Alashtugan took part in the lesson. Both the topic of the lecture and the words of the poet  intertwined and complemented each other.  The lecturer Toregeldy Tuyakbai spoke about the categories of "Heart" in Abai' literary works, another lecturer who  took part in the lesson meeting, was  the head of "Kozhiek" club, Layla Musaly. She  told about the traditions of Abai in Kazakh literature, manifestations of heart  image in modern poetry and offered  the  students to ask questiona to  the  representative of modern poetry,  Yerzhan Alashtugan.

In its  turn,  the poet Yerzhan Alashtugan made some additions   to the topic of the lesson. He told not only about what he knew, wrote, but also about  what he studied. Yerzhan Alashtugan followed  not only the  Abai's literary  traditions but also studied Abai's literary  works  and shared his knowledge with the students. He noted that he had found about 300 definitions of the concept of "Heart" in Abai's  literary works.
At the meeting, the  students read poems such as "Dos", "Khat", "Tun", "Zhemtik", "Karasha", etc written by Yerzhan Alashtugan. It is worth noting that  Yerlan  Alashtugan' poetry   elements are distinguished by a complex system according to the poet. 

There were also the  students who recited  their poems. The  audience especially  liked "Bozarkyn atkan Ak kuyi" poem by Berdibek Adil  . Yerzhan  Alashtugan presented a pack of books to students who read poetry and drew kuis as a gift.
We believe that the literary and educational meeting-lesson was informative  and useful bfor the students. Acting professor T. Tuyakbai, associate professor L. Musaly and the   lecturers B. Dautova and A. Kenzhekozhaeva  made concluding speeches at the end of the lesson having  expressed  the words of gratitude to   Yerzhan Alashtugan, who organized the meeting-lesson which was the continuation  of Abai's   literary  traditions and  the way of understanding the concept "heart" by Abai in Kazakh poetry and spirituality.
