Abstract:
In the current times of rapid technological progress, the development of quality education
and encouragement of educated youth are extremely important. For this reason, a number of state
projects and programs were developed in the education system of modern Kazakhstan. This paper is
devoted to the problems of multilingual education and emergency remote learning in this country.
The primary objectives were to examine the language competence and preferences of undergraduates
and to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on remote language learning. Here, we
present the survey and interview results of non-linguistic specialty students regarding their language
preferences in various spheres, as well as the difficulties encountered during distance learning.
