Introduction

    The State Program for the Development and Functioning of Languages ​​in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2011-2019 (hereinafter referred to as the Program) has been developed in accordance with Articles 7 and 93 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan; The Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 11, 1997 "On languages ​​in the Republic of Kazakhstan"; The Strategic Development Plan of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2025, approved by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated February 15, 2018 No. 636; paragraph 3 of the Action Plan for the implementation of orders of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev, given at the XV session of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan; The Doctrine of National Unity; The plan of the nation of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev "100 concrete steps: a modern state for all", the program article of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated April 12, 2017 "Looking into the future: modernization of public consciousness".

The program is based on an analysis of the language construction that has developed in the country, takes into account the opinions and recommendations of the expert community dealing with issues of language policy.

During the development of the Program, the experience of more than 30 foreign countries in the legal regulation of issues related to the implementation of the state language policy was studied.

This document is a normative and organizational basis for solving current problems in the field of functioning and development of languages and creating conditions for the full-scale use of the state language in all spheres of public life.

As the Head of state N. A. Nazarbayev noted at the XIII session of the Assembly of people of Kazakhstan: "We must make every effort to further develop the Kazakh language, which is the main factor in uniting all Kazakhstanis. At the same time, it is necessary to create favorable conditions so that representatives of all ethnic groups living in the country can speak freely, learn their native language, and develop it."

In the Doctrine of National Unity, the state language is defined as a key priority, the main factor of spiritual and national unity. Mastering it should become a duty and obligation of every citizen of Kazakhstan, an incentive that determines personal competitiveness and active participation in public life.

One of the main tasks of the program article of the Head of State "Looking into the future: modernization of public consciousness" is to carry out work on the translation of the alphabet of the Kazakh language into Latin script.

An action plan for the implementation of the goals and objectives outlined in the Program is its integral part.

All the activities envisaged by the Program are based on the priority of the development of the state language as an important factor in strengthening national unity and are aimed at fully satisfying the spiritual, cultural and linguistic needs of citizens.

The success of the implementation of the Program will be ensured by integrating the main program measures into the strategic plans of state bodies while ensuring the effectiveness of the implementation of the planned activities.

At the same time, in order to achieve practical results of these measures, joint efforts of all state bodies and economic entities of the republic, including national companies and financial organizations, are required.

Analysis of the current situation

The creation of an optimal sociolinguistic space in independent Kazakhstan is built through the phased implementation of the language policy.

1997-2000 - with the adoption in 1997 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Languages" and the approval of the State Program for the Functioning and Development of Languages ​​for 1998-2000, the formation of the legal basis for language construction in the main spheres of public life begins.

2001-2010 - within the framework of the implementation of the State Program for the Functioning and Development of Languages ​​for a ten-year period, the strategy of language construction was determined by three directions: expanding and strengthening the social and communicative functions of the state language, preserving the general cultural functions of the Russian language, and developing other languages ​​of the people of Kazakhstan. Also during this period, on the initiative of the Head of State, the implementation of the National Cultural Project "Trinity of Languages" was launched.

The results of the implementation of this Program laid the foundation for the subsequent language construction in the Republic of Kazakhstan:

1) the infrastructure of teaching the state language has been significantly expanded: organizations that teach and educate in the Kazakh language - 5644, schools - 3798, centers for teaching the state language - 87;

2) the process of translation of office work into the state language is actively being implemented (the proportion of documents in the Kazakh language in state bodies is about 88%);

3) 219 publishing projects have been implemented, including 65 teaching aids, 47 books for children, 45 industry dictionaries and 62 informative, scientific, journalistic books. The one-volume large explanatory dictionary of the Kazakh language "Kazakh sozdigi" was published and the educational complex "Danalyk alippesi" was developed on an innovative basis.

4) a number of TV projects have been implemented: reality shows, lessons on learning the Kazakh language, animation films, etc .;

5) on the basis of a multilevel system for assessing language proficiency using the IELTS (Great Britain) and TOEFL (United States of America) systems, the Kaztest system has been developed. On the basis of the newest methodology for teaching the state language, teaching aids "Kazakh sozi", consisting of 500 words, and "Kazakh sozi", consisting of 900 words, have been developed.

6) developed a methodology for accrediting language centers of the state language;

7) on a systematic basis, the organization of methodological and organizational support for representatives of the Kazakh diaspora abroad in learning their native language is carried out. In order to support compatriots living abroad, a traditional small kurultai of Kazakhs of Europe and an arts festival are held, as well as sociological and analytical research on the life of compatriots living abroad.

8) an innovative methodology of multilingualism for teaching the languages ​​of ethnic groups in Kazakhstan has been prepared;

9) in order to introduce new information technologies in the process of learning the state language, an Internet portal has been created and is constantly being updated (over 20 types of services). The portal "Tilalemi.kz", as well as the unified onomastic base "Atau.kz", the spelling base "Emle.kz", the terminological base "Termincom.kz" have been launched for distance learning of the language.

10) in order to develop Kazakh-language Internet resources and content, the number of distance learning courses has been increased;

11) the communicative function of the state language is strengthened (in the content of state mass media (hereinafter referred to as the media), the volume of broadcasting in the Kazakh language in electronic media, as well as the share of the state language in print media is over 71%);

12) adopted the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated January 21, 2013 "On Amendments and Additions to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Onomastics" and a number of by-laws;

13) an effective system of state support for the languages ​​of ethnic groups living in Kazakhstan has been created.

The logic of language construction over the years (2011-2019) is due to the presence of a number of problematic aspects in the country.

Uneven level of proficiency in the state language in society.

    Despite the developed methodology of teaching the state language, this aspect is associated with the unresolved problem of raising the qualifications of teachers and specialists of the Kazakh language in full, the lack of methods of teaching the Kazakh language at levels B1, B2, and the lack of a systematic base of teaching aids at these levels.

     Insufficient introduction of the state language into the social and communicative space of the country.

Problematic issues in this direction are associated, first of all, with the expansion of the spheres of active use of the state language in the field of international communications, tourism, leisure and entertainment, its development as a language of law, science and new technologies. Along with this, the most important list of issues of increasing the prestige of its use, popularization of the state language as a family value is problematic.

At the same time, it is important to inform as much as possible the work on translating the Kazakh alphabet into Latin script.

Decrease in language culture in Kazakhstani society.

In this aspect, there are problems in the field of terminology, anthroponymy and onomastics. In this regard, the most significant are works on standardization, improvement of the sphere of terminology and unification of terms.

There are quite problematic issues in improving the culture of speech and writing in the linguistic space, maintaining the purity of the language, linguistic culture, speech melody in the media as the number of Internet consumers in the Kazakh language grows.

In this regard, it is planned to organize measures to preserve the norms of linguistic culture.

The need to preserve and strengthen the linguistic capital of Kazakhstanis.

In this aspect, there is a set of problems associated with the mastery of the population of three (Kazakh, Russian, English) languages ​​as a competitive advantage of Kazakhstanis, the creation of conditions for the preservation of the languages ​​of ethnic groups that form the linguistic diversity of the culture of Kazakhstan, and the study of English and other foreign languages ​​as a means of business international communication.

The priority need for solving these problems and improving the regulatory framework determined the following goals and objectives of the Program.

Main directions, ways to achieve the set goals of the Program and corresponding measures

The first direction is mastering the state language

Goal: achieving effective ways to ensure mastery of the state language

Target indicators:

1) the share of the population speaking the state language (in 2016 - 80%, in 2017 - 83%, in 2018 - 85%, in 2019 - 90%);

2) the proportion of school graduates who speak the state language at the B1 level (in 2016 - 70%, in 2017 - 80%, in 2018 - 90%, in 2019 - 100%).

The implementation of the first direction of the Program involves the organization of work to create a system of mastering the state language by all citizens of Kazakhstan. The core of this system is a three-component basis - improving the methodology of teaching the state language, expanding the learning infrastructure and stimulating the process of mastering the state language. This approach has identified three objectives for the first direction.

1. Improvement and standardization of the methodology of teaching the state language.

To improve the methodology of teaching the state language, it is envisaged, first of all, to improve the relevant training standards and to introduce a system for assessing the level of proficiency in the state language by creating a model of continuous education.

A multilevel standard should provide for the elementary use of the language at levels A1-A2, independent use of the language at levels B1-B2 and competent use of the language at levels C1-C2.

On the basis of the built standardized system, it is planned to develop methodological foundations for teaching the state language, including for persons with disabilities.

These measures will make it possible to ensure the mastery of the state language at A1 level by primary school students, at A2 level by middle-level students, at B1 level by senior school students, as well as by technical and vocational education institutions, at B2 level by students of higher educational institutions, at C1 to the results of receiving postgraduate education.

Along with this, it is also envisaged to improve and modernize the methods of language acquisition. The Kazakh language should become the language of full-fledged everyday functional and professional communication.

An unconditional need will be a constant process of creative pedagogical search and development of new teaching methods based on the standard of teaching the Kazakh language through the model of lifelong education.

The necessary components of the system being built are professional development and training of teachers of the Kazakh language in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation.

Due to the small number of scientific and educational centers that have organizational and methodological capabilities to train specialists at a high-quality level, it is planned to widely introduce distance learning forms.

2. Development of infrastructure for teaching the state language. The second necessary component of the system of mastering the state language by all citizens of Kazakhstan is the functioning of state language training centers. It is the state language training centers that should become the infrastructure base for mastering the state language by adult citizens of Kazakhstan who have already graduated from educational institutions.

We need a strategic development plan, management structure, organization of the educational process, material and technical resources of state language training centers.

The basis for the assessment of the work of the centers will be the objective data on the results of the examinations by the students of the centers under the Kaztest program.

3. Stimulating the process of teaching the state language. The third mandatory component in achieving this goal will be the creation of a system of incentives and monitoring of the process of teaching the state language.

The implementation of this task is assumed through the determination of the minimum requirements for the level of proficiency in the Kazakh language by civil servants, employees of organizations providing public services, as well as services in the field of public services (banks, trade organizations, services, etc.)

This measure will require the organization of a system of teaching the Kazakh language based on the National Standard of the Republic of Kazakhstan for civil servants and employees of organizations providing public services. Annually, on the basis of the "Kaztest" system, the level of state language knowledge should be determined by civil servants and employees of organizations providing public services who do not speak the state language at the required level.

Upon completion of courses on teaching the state language, organized by each organization, employees participate in certified testing according to the "Kaztest" system, where the level of knowledge is determined.

The level of knowledge of the state language of employees is established on the basis of national standards that determine communication requirements.

Testing technology consists of diagnostic and certified testing.

It is supposed to work out the issue of improving the system for assessing the level of knowledge of the state language at all levels of the education system. The Kazakh language should become a necessary and mandatory component of the final certification of students.

All persons interested in learning the Kazakh language are provided with broad state support. Among such measures: the organization of free courses by level of education at the centers for teaching the state language, as well as the involvement of the method of public-private partnership in this work.

It is also planned to widely introduce distance learning of the Kazakh language through the development of innovative forms and teaching methods.

    Representatives of the Kazakh diaspora abroad will be provided with political, diplomatic, methodological and organizational support in learning their native language. It is also planned to organize a system of analytical and research work on the problems of compatriots.

Results indicators:

1) the number of grants provided for the training of teaching staff in the Kazakh language (annually 500 people);

2) the share of events aimed at improving the qualifications of teachers of the state language training centers, organized with the possibility of remote access online (in 2013 - 20%, in 2016 - 50%, in 2017 - 65%, in 2018 - 75 %, in 2019 - 90%);

3) an increase in the number of students of the state language (in 2013 - 30%, in 2016 - 70%, in 2017 - 80%, in 2018 - 90%, in 2019 - 100%);

4) the share of civil servants who speak the state language at the B1 level (in 2016 - 25%, in 2017 - 28%, in 2018 - 30%, in 2019 - 35%), at the C1 level, determined by the system " Kaztest "(in 2016 - 5%, in 2017 - 8%, in 2018 - 9%, in 2019 - 10%);

5) the share of employees of organizations providing public services, as well as employees of national companies and national holdings who speak the state language at the B1 level (in 2016 - 10%, in 2017 - 30%, in 2018 - 32%, in 2019 - 35%), at the C1 level determined by the Kaztest system (in 2016 - 5%, in 2017 - 7%, in 2018 - 8%, in 2019 - 9%).

The second direction is the popularization and expansion of the scope of the state language

Goal: "Popularization of the widespread use of the state language"

Target indicators:

1) the share of Kazakh-language content in the state media (in 2017 - 70%, in 2018 - 71%, in 2019 - 72%).

The algorithm for achieving the second goal involves the implementation of work to increase the prestige and expand the scope of the state language.

1. Widespread use of the state language in civil society institutions and the media.

The implementation of this task is achieved through the formation and consolidation in the public consciousness of the prestigious image of a native speaker of the state language. The main role in this direction is assigned to means of PR technologies. For this, it is planned to organize special work to popularize and promote the state language.

Based on the development of diverse positive images and models, taking into account the main characteristics of the target audiences, it is planned to attract successful, high-profile persons, including representatives of ethnic groups, who speak the state and other languages, to work on the formation of a prestigious image of a native speaker of the state language.

This block of work will also require the involvement of the creative potential of the nongovernmental sector in the process of forming a prestigious image of a native speaker through the mechanism of state social order and mass media on the basis of state information order.

The planned measures include the media rotation of positive images popularizing the state language in all types of media, including the Internet, ensuring the release of popular mass media in the state language, organizing a set of PR events for the main target audiences with the release of visual and image products, visual campaigning means.

It is also necessary to involve methods of public-private partnership in the work to popularize the use of the state language through joint actions.

An important component of this system is the popularization of the state language as a family value. By attracting well-known Kazakh-speaking families, including representatives of ethnic groups and foreign diaspora, to PR work, it is planned to organize a broad campaign to popularize the state language as the language of intra-family communication.

Along with this, it will also be necessary to organize a set of measures of an informational and ideological nature with the involvement of leaders of public opinion: information and public companies, large public movements, actions and projects.

One of the important elements of work on the formation of public opinion is supposed to neutralize negative stereotypes in the use of the state language.

Work in this direction will be built by carrying out research and analytical activities on the preventive identification of negative stereotypes in the use and application of the state language, determining a set of necessary measures.

The main resource in the work on the formation of mechanisms of public censure of negative aspects in the use of the state language should be the potential of the non-governmental sector and the mass media.

2. Increasing the demand for the state language.

The second task in achieving this goal is to expand the scope of the state language, integration into all spheres of society.

The key emphasis in this direction is made on strengthening the role of the media in shaping the linguistic environment through the creation of new television channels broadcasting in the state language. Special opportunities in this regard are opening up with the introduction of digital television and radio broadcasting.

It also provides for the expansion of children's and youth Kazakh-language content, the active use of the potential of the media sphere in organizing the process of teaching the state language through the creation of special training programs, films.

An important aspect is also the provision of systematic support to the Kazakh-speaking media through the system of state support for Internet resources in the Kazakh language.

A special role is assigned to the introduction of mandatory language qualification requirements for media workers as people directly shaping the linguistic culture of society.

At the same time, in this direction, measures are envisaged for the development of the state language as the language of science, legislation and new technologies.

In this aspect, the active development of its own scientific and technological language base on the basis of traditional and innovative approaches seems to be especially relevant.

The organization of translation into the Kazakh language and the publication of encyclopedias in mass circulation, scientific and journalistic, business, fiction and other literature from the original language will significantly enhance the role of the state language as the language of modern applied science. Also, at all levels of the provision of electronic services within the framework of "electronic government", it is planned to activate the use of the Kazakh language.

At the same time, it is envisaged to expand the use of the Kazakh language in the field of international communications, leisure and entertainment.

The need to replenish the repertoires of cultural institutions with new Kazakh-language content determined the task of organizing and holding competitive events to stimulate creative potential for the creation of new productions and projects in the state language, including those aimed at children and youth.

The widespread use of the state language during mass cultural, sports and other public events should become an absolute necessity.

The state language should become the main one when holding international meetings, drawing up treaties, agreements and other international acts.

The activation of the use of the potential of the state language in the organization of ethnotourism events (visiting cultural and ethnographic monuments, scouting, children's ethnography and summer ethnocamps) seems to be especially relevant.

Results indicators:

1) the share of the state social order aimed at popularizing the state language (10% of the total funds allocated for the implementation of the state social order);

2) an increase in the number of new television projects in the state language broadcast by state media (annually by 10% of the total number of television projects);

3) the share of the state information order focused on supporting print media published in the state language (50% annually).

The third direction is to improve the level of language culture of Kazakhstanis

Purpose: "Developed linguistic culture as an element of the social and cultural wealth of an intellectual nation"

Target indicators:

1) the share of the ordered terminology fund of the Kazakh language (in 2013 - 20%, in 2016 - 60%, in 2017 - 75%, in 2018 - 90%, in 2019 - 100%);

2) the degree of satisfaction of the population with the work of the onomastic commissions in terms of compliance with the principles of transparency and public access to the discussion of the decision-making process (in 2013 - 60%, in 2016 - 75%, in 2017 - 80%, in 2018 - 81%, in 2019 - 82%).

1. Improvement and systematization of the lexical fund of the Kazakh language.

The implementation of this task involves, first of all, ensuring the systematization of the names of administrative-territorial units.

Improving work in the field of onomastics involves the introduction of the principles of transparency, taking into account public opinion, wide involvement of civil society institutions and the media in the decision-making process when carrying out onomastic work.

To achieve this, it will be necessary to refine the regulatory legal framework in the field of onomastics, as well as develop rules for writing in the state language and transliterating the names of geographical objects in Russian and other languages.

The identification of anthroponymic names and visual information will require the development of uniform requirements for the identification and writing of anthroponymic designations in the state language, as well as the improvement of the regulatory legal framework in the field of artistic design of visual information.

The task of unifying terminological vocabulary, replenishing the terminological fund is especially urgent.

Among the necessary measures are the development of new requirements for the systematization of Kazakh terminology, the ordering of terms and names in accordance with the basic rules, written norms of the Kazakh language.

This work should be carried out using international experience, models of related languages, international terms and terminological names, as well as with constant monitoring of the frequency of use of new approved terms in the media.

Updating the terminological fund with new terms will require the reconstruction of the linguistic historical heritage, as well as special work on terminology and terminography.

It is also required to revise the methods of translating international terms into the Kazakh language, developing methods for translating terms and concepts, as well as conducting work in terms of compliance with generally accepted international analogs. In this regard, the development of principles for the adoption of international terms is envisaged.

Along with this, it is planned to create and place a unified electronic database of industry terminologies and a general fund of Kazakh terminology on websites and portals.

Also, the need to create a system that describes the lexical and grammatical structure of the language, as well as fixes the processes of continuous linguistic changes, is especially urgent.

2. Carrying out comprehensive work on the translation of the Kazakh alphabet into Latin script, its application in all spheres of public relations, improvement of language culture.

Carrying out comprehensive work on the translation of the Kazakh alphabet into Latin script, its application in all spheres of public relations.

In order to form public opinion in this direction, it is envisaged to carry out explanatory work on the translation of the Kazakh alphabet into the Latin script, taking into account the phonological features of the Kazakh language, the use of measures to improve the spelling of the Kazakh language, the preparation of materials for the study of the new alphabet by citizens, and ensuring their general availability.

In addition, in the process of translating the Kazakh alphabet into the Latin script, it is necessary to preserve for the future generation the rich cultural heritage of the Kazakh people, based on the Cyrillic alphabet. In the future, works of fiction, folk art, history, works of world literature translated into Kazakh, encyclopedias published in Cyrillic should be republished in Latin script.
