A representative of the International institute of education, head of the educational center of the Steppe Global Education Foundation Joel Erickson,, who arrived at our university, took the initiative to exchange students and teachers between american and kazakh universities. The guest was received by the chairman of the board-rector of the university Askar Nametov.
Joel Erickson is a representative of the consortium of kazakh–american universities, this organization is developing within the framework of a partnership program sponsored by the US Embassy in Kazakhstan and headed by the IIe-Step Global Education Foundation. The purpose of the consortium is to strengthen existing ties and promote the creation of new innovative partnerships between universities in the USA and Kazakhstan.
Interaction plays a key role in this regard, therefore, much attention was paid at the meeting to the replacement of corresponding teachers, since their mission is to help students and teachers of universities belonging to the consortium learn english, russian and kazakh languages.
«One of the main reasons hindering cooperation and study is ignorance of the English language», Joel Erickson said during the meeting. He also noted that the creation of an innovative community capable of communicating in a common language is one of the most important tasks on the path of cooperation.
