"The English teachers often struggle with the problem how to raise their Kazakh learners’ motivation to use passive constructions more and how to teach them to its correct application. The reason is obvious – passives are used in English more frequently and spontaneously than in Kazakh. Moreover, there are some specifications, restrictions and differences in the usage. Distinguishing and examination of voice categories is a very controversial issue. This research work aims to explore ways to help English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners notice and revise voice in English and Kazakh languages and raise their awareness of when and how to use active and passive constructions to convey meaning and will help to know the peculiarities of each voice category, how to form them and how to translate sentences grammatically and semantically. This research is also an action research which pays a particular attention to the effectiveness of collaborative learning rather than traditional one in teaching voice constructions. "
