    Designing language course curriculum: Impacts of international internship programs
    (2024) Berkinbayeva, Gulzat
    The role of international internship programs in fostering global collaboration, cultural exchange, and human development is crucial. The "500 Scholars by Bolashaq" is the best program in Kazakhstan for scientists to develop research experience. Being awarded the Bolashaq scholarship is a great pleasure for Kazakhstani scholars to conduct research in the USA, at the University of Minnesota with the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) Visiting Scholars Program: Research, Pedagogy, and Leadership. My research work aims to study the approaches used in the Minnesota English Language Program (MELP) at the University of Minnesota in designing foreign language teaching curricula in diverse contexts, and based on the findings create a new course curriculum for teaching the Kazakh language to non-Kazakh speakers in multicultural settings. This study adopts a mixed-methods research approach to comprehensively explore the research objectives. Specifically, a survey was administered to a representative sample of students and educators from Narxoz University and Kazakh-British Technical University to gather quantitative data on perceptions of the existing curriculum. The analysis of interview data provided certain evidence to qualify identified gaps and shortcomings in the curriculum, contributing to a deeper understanding of the research question
