Abstract

Globalization and integration processes, which are taking place in Kazakhstan, have led to the dynamic development of English.  Due to the general trends in the world, there have been significant changes in the educational area of Kazakhstan. The study aims at determining the attitudes towards promoting English through education. To achieve it, interviews with teachers and students, as well as surveys of teachers and students have been used. The results demonstrate that English contributes to promotion of Kazakhstan's education and science, provides access to the research literature, and determines the competitiveness of future specialists in the international market.

Keywords: English, Kazakhstan, higher education, attitude.
