Abstract
Language Planning Policy (LPP) plays a crucial role in shaping societal dynamics, educational systems, and cultural identities. As Kazakhstan is a multiethnic country, it is important to regulate the use of existing spoken languages in the country. The LPP of Kazakhstan has provided a number of legal regulations for the promotion of the Trilingual Language Policy (TLP) and trilingualism in Kazakhstan, improving the status of Kazakh as the state language, Russian as the official language and English as the global international language. This situation has motivated many scholars in Kazakhstan to study LP in relation to education and trilingualism trends. The main purpose of this review article is to provide a comprehensive review of the existing scholarly articles on LPP of Kazakhstan and evaluate their scientific value in comparison with foreign research on LP thereby putting forward possible research directions and recommendations for further research.The primary research method was a narrative literature review, which provided a through overview of existing studies on LP and summarized key insights from LP research in Kazakhstan. The findings from the selected articles were organized and synthesized by thematic categories. The outcomes of the analysis claim that the majority of research on LP of Kazakhstan is descriptive in nature without solid evidence based on the results of empirical research. This article will highly contribute to the study of LPP research in Kazakhstan and will be valuable to the interested researchers in this field as well.
