Aim: to enlarge students’ awareness about their own country – Kazakhstan; to build students’ knowledge on new lexical and grammar materials to use it in their speech.

Basic thematic issues:

Lexics: The text ‘My motherland – Kazakhstan’ gives the students an opportunity to be able to read texts about their own country. It is very important to develop their general knowledge about the country and to risen their patriotic sense. Using the new lexics from the text students will then be able to make their own speech in order to tell something more about Kazakhstan.

Grammar: The English speech is impossible without its Articles, so the elementary study of it will help students to understand the wide range of its usage. For instance: if to use definite or indefinite article before the names of places and rivers, and etc. Concerning Degrees of comparison it is of great importance to know the rules of comparative and superlative adjectives, thus, proper usage of it will certainly flourish and make student’s speech richer. And finally, there is no way to learn English if you do not know the proper use of the Present Simple tense. Whether you want to express a fact that stays the same for a long time, or you want to express an action that happens every day, you use the Present Simple.

The Republic of Kazakhstan lies right in between Europe and Asia.

The size of the territory places Kazakhstan ninth in the world, after Russia, Canada, China, USA, Brasil, Australia, India and Argentina. The capital of Kazakhstan is Astana.

More than a quarter of the land consists of a portion of the gentle steppes that stretch from central Europe to Siberia. The rest of the republic reflects the beauty of forests, mountains, rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

Kazakhstan has the sharp continental climate. In separate years spring stretches from the south to the north during 1,5-2 months. When it is spring in the south, the north area is covered with snow and severe storm. July is the hottest season, and February is the coldest month.

The land of Kazakhstan is rich by different soils and natural resources.
Kazakhstan's population includes many ethnic groups with their own language and culture brought together through their history. The largest ethnic groups are Kazakhs and Russians. The main religions are Islam and Christianity.
The official language of Kazakhstan is Kazakh, a Turkic language. State organizations and local governmental bodies also use Russian. The government encourages citizens to study and speak several languages. Everybody has the right to use their native language and the right to choose their language for communication, study and work.
The Kazakhs are an extremely hospitable people. If you come to a Kazakh home unexpected you will be received as if you had been invited. Since early childhood principles of respect of guests and older people as well as peacefulness and tolerance are instilled in every Kazakh and these are the national features of Kazakh culture and tradition.
Since ancient times the Kazakhs have carefully preserved and passed down the generations their tradition of hospitality, respect for the elders, peace and tolerance.
Kazakh national cuisine reflects the nature of its people, its history, customs and traditions. Since old times hospitality has been the most distinctive feature of the Kazakh people.
