Abstract
The relevance of the research is determined by the introduction of the CLIL trilingual system, which includes a simultaneous study of Russian, Kazakh, and English in accordance with the language policy of Kazakhstan. The research is based upon the authors’ own pedagogical experience, official law documents, and state guidelines regarding the language policy in Kazakhstan, and the analysis of the scientific literature on the matter. The paper reveals the features of the educational system of Kazakhstan as the result of recent state policy changes: orientation towards European standards, foreign language learning for professional communication as a priority, the digitalization of education, and its practical focus.
