On March 7, 2025, at the Faculty of Philology, Daniyar Abkanov, a first-year Master's student specializing in "Translation Studies," under the academic supervision of Dr. Aigul Alpyssbayeva, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Foreign Philology and Translation Studies, conducted an open lesson dedicated to Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality. The topic of the session was "The Manifestation of Gender Characteristics in the Kazakh, English, and Russian Languages."
The main objectives of the event were: to develop participants' understanding of gender features in the structure and usage of Kazakh, English, and Russian languages, as well as their connection to cultural and social norms, and to promote the development of analytical thinking through comparative analysis of linguistic systems and their impact on gender perception. During the lesson, students developed a respectful attitude towards linguistic and cultural diversity, as well as an awareness of the importance of an inclusive approach to language.
The session was held in an interactive format. Students engaged in a comparative analysis of the three languages, actively discussed differences in gender roles across languages, and debated current trends in the development of language norms. Group work encouraged students to demonstrate initiative, analytical thinking, and creativity. The tasks were organized in the form of interactive activities, including discussions, text analysis, and role-playing games. This format helped reinforce knowledge about the gender characteristics of the languages.
The conducted lesson allowed students to gain a deeper understanding of how language reflects social perceptions of gender roles and stereotypes. Through studying Kazakh, Russian, and English, students observed that even everyday words and expressions can convey ideas about men and women and their roles in society.
Group work, discussions, and real-life examples helped students realize that language not only reflects traditions but also evolves alongside society, becoming more equitable and respectful toward every individual.
Developing a conscious attitude towards language is an important step in fostering a culture of equality, mutual understanding, and respect. The lesson became a valuable opportunity to reflect on the influence of words on our thinking and on the society in which we live.
