Kazakh Language is the Language of Legal Literacy and Legislation
On April 10, 2025, Moldir Tastanbek, the first-year Master’s degree student majoring in Kazakh Philology, held an educational hour on the topic: “Kazakh Language is the Language of Legal Literacy and Legislation” as part of her teaching practicum. The lesson was conducted under the guidance of Anar Ashirova, a lecturer at the Faculty of Kazakh Philology, for the first-year students of “6B04205 – Law” major at the Faculty of Law.
In today’s society, the legal literacy of young people and their ability to master legal terminology in their native language is one of the key conditions for development. The main goal of the event was to enhance students’ legal knowledge, develop their skills in using legal norms accurately and clearly in Kazakh, and familiarize them with the features of the formal and official style of the language.
During the lesson, the students explored important concepts such as the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, child rights, and civil responsibility. They also analyzed the meanings of legal terms in Kazakh.
Throughout the lesson, the students worked with legal texts in Kazakh and learned how to express their rights and obligations using appropriate legal language in various real-life situations.
The lesson was an effective step toward expanding students’ worldviews and improving their legal literacy. Additionally, it contributed to enhancing the status of the Kazakh language as the state language and promoted its use in the legal field.
The topic and discussions held during the lesson were well-received by the students. As most of the participants were Russian-speaking learners, the session was conducted entirely in the Kazakh language.
