SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE
If students need to contact any member of academic staff, they can do this either by
sending them an e-mail message, or during office hours (details of which can be found on
the noticeboards and on office doors). If students wish to contact a member of staff
urgently, members of the secretarial staff in Room Main Building 811 will help them.
1. Access and Admission
Documents on main procedures of admission to universities and the formal
instructions from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan
serve as the guideline to take entrance exams.
According to these documents there are two forms of applying for the Bachelor
degree of the programme.
The first is the Unified National Testing (UNT), which includes four main
subjects: History of Kazakhstan, Mathematics, Kazakh/Russian Language and the major
of the programme. Only school leavers can participate in National testing.
The application form to the Unified National Testing is accepted by the admission
commission of the university from June 20 to July 1 each year. After the results of the
total school grades have been counted, those who get at least 50 points on all secondary
school subjects can participate in the unified test, which takes place from July 2 to July
7 of each year. Total number of tasks of the UNT is 100. Three astronomic hours are
given for the fulfillment of all the tasks. Those who get at least 7 points in his/her
major, will have an opportunity to enter the university. Those who pass the Unified
National Testing with points higher than 95, are usually given scholarships. Enrollment
to the university takes place from August 10 to August 25.
When the school-leavers finish with general requirements connected with the
application, they take oral and written language tests which define their language
4
levels. The admission of students to the study programme is carried out in
accordance with the State Standard of the Ministry of Education and Testing of the
Republic of Kazakhstan on the basis of the certificate given by the results of the
Unified National Testing.
The second form is the Complex Testing (CT). The linguistic college graduates
who wish to continue their studies at a higher level (university, in this case) and those
who didn’t have the possibility to study before can take an oral language test and be
interviewed. Total number of the tasks included into the CT is 90, which should be done
within 2 astronomic hours. According to the test results, their language level will be
defined and those who meet all the programme requirements become students of the
university.
SUPPORT SERVICES
If students have any problems, all members of staff can help them. In the first
instance, students should contact rheir programme tutor, who will be able to refer them
to support services in the university, if the problem cannot be solved by the programme
tutor directly.
Contact
The Office of the Secretariat:
It is located in the new building, room811, telephone 8 (727) 2920385 ext.2811.
Secretary: Kaptagayeva Nazim Tursynbayevna, who also carries out the functions
of a manager, responsible for consideration of claims and personal matters.
Deputy Dean: Zhangarbayeva Samal Gabitovna. She assists students concerning
the issues of their study performance and living conditions in hostels. In case the
problem is not solved at this level the secretary arranges meetings of students and/or
parents with the Dean.
The Dean (Programme Coordinator): Faizova Kamila Kalibayevna
She is available in the new building, room 809, telephone 8 (727) 2920385
/ext.2809/.
Reception hours: three times a week 10a.m. – 12a.m. / 2p.m. – 5p.m
She is responsible for quality assurance of the Study Programme and education
services. The Dean also deals with claims and tries to consider them personally
provided students were not able to solve their problems at the previous levels. She may
be seen by students and parents for discussion on general matters relating to the study
programme.
If students have any queries or problems regarding their programme, either with
specific modules or with other academic or personal matters, there are several channels
through which help can be sought. If the problem is with a particular module, students
should see the relevant lecturer first, then the Tutor.
5
Other Help
Many other arrangements, both formal and informal, are made to help and guide
students, and to enable them to participate in the management of the University. These
range from the provision of noticeboards for general information, timetables, careers, to
formal University Committees to which students are elected and which take part in the
government of University.
Each year at the beginning of the academic year the freshman class is informed on
the content of the study programme and its aims. It aims at the training of highlymotivated translators and interpreters. Students are oriented towards development of
the: intercultural – communicative, general and professional, socio-culturallydetermined competencies. They are expected to attain expertise in the specialized fields,
advance their translation skills, bridge theory and practice, overcome psychological and
emotional stress working with an audience. Graduates of the Translation Faculty can be
employed by different companies and institutions.
Appointments are made and advice is given on a regular basis by all Chairs of
Translation Faculty. They provide:
Guidance-counselling services to students who make research for course works or
diploma projects.
Guidance-counselling services to all students before final control held in the form
of examinations, and for students who have specific queries with a module.
Guidance-counselling services is given to students who failed in their final
assessment such as examinations and those who are behind the peers in their study
performance. All appointments are fixed and set in schedules. The heads of Chairs,
tutors and lecturers of each module are responsible for conducting guidance-counselling
meetings with students according to the schedule or timetable.
If a student has a specific query with a module or a personal matter, he may, first,
see a tutor of a group he studies with, then a lecturer or a tutor responsible for a module.
In case the problem is not solved a student can seek help at the Dean’s Office.
Students support also provides students participation. Starostat is the committee
which consists of monitors of all the study groups of the Faculty. They represent the
whole cohort of students. They meet on a regular basis at the Dean’s Office and share
with fellow-students the most important and urgent issues related to Study Programme
performance and also to social and cultural events.
STUDENT ADVISING
Expert guidance is central to a quality education, thus KAUIR&WL puts a strong
focus on providing quality academic advising for students. All students are given
councel by the dedicated Advising Centers and faculty members at the Faculty level,
and by the Office of the Registrar at the management level. The Registrar’s Office has
one of the most sophisticated online advising systems. Students have full online
access to registration information including schedules, courses offered, graduation
requirements and transcripts, enabling them to track the progress of their studies any
time.
6
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Students at KAUIR&WL elect a student government to present their
interests to the administration. The student government also deals with students’
interests and activities. Elections are held annually. The activities of student government
are guaranted by the constitution. The student body is also represented on
academic and student representatives who participate in many of the most important
standing committees, ensuring students say in the running of their university.
FINANCIAL AID, WORK-STUDY AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Financial aid is designed to meet the needs of our students. KAZUIR&WL offers
different types of financial aid based both on merit and financial need. These include
governmental, president’s and university scholarships. To be eligible for needs-based
financial aid, a student must meet two main criteria: be in good academic
standing; and 2) demonstrate real financial need. The amount and type of aid will
depend on a student’s need and/or academic performance, and may take different forms.
Financial aid is subject to the decision of the KAZUIR&WL Academic Council.

Sanctions are applied. These range from written reprimands through fines to
exclusion from campus, depending on the severity of the offence.
Note that students excluded from campus may miss examinations, with impact on
their graduation date.
Non-payment of fines will leave students in debt to the University and graduation
will be delayed until they clear the debt.
Reprimands in their files might have to be declared in a character reference to
future employers.
This document is advisory and does not take precedence over any University
regulation.
The following link will take students to the appropriate regulations:
http://www.ablaikhan.kz
Class Attendance Policy
Students are expected to attend all classes. Each instructor is responsible for his/her
attendance policy. Each instructor determines the relationship between class attendance,
the objectives of the class and the student’s grade. The instructor is responsible for
informing students attendance policies and the effect of attendance on their grade
during one of the first two class sessions. The student is responsible for knowing the
policy for each course. Only the instructor can approve a student’s request to be absent
from class. Violation of the instructor’s attendance policy may result in lowered grades
or in an instructor initiated withdrawal from the course.
Attendance is monitored through checking lists at each contact session.
Missed lectures:
If a student misses a seminar or a lecture through illness or for other, documented
reasons, he/she should catch up missed information as soon as possible, and lecturers
should be informed of the reasons for any absences.
Catching up may be achieved by contacting a fellow-student prior to the lecture
and asking them to collect copies of relevant handouts; by checking with the lecturer to
find out what guided reading they could advise and asking for copies of handouts; by
checking on Blackboard to see whether work has been posted there, for the missed
seminar and for the next seminar. Staff is not normally able to offer individual tuition to
students who have missed lecturers or seminars.
Examination Rules
Effective proctoring of exams is crucial for the reputation and integrity of the
student evaluation system. To ensure the integrity of exams:
1. Proctors have the right to demand ID cards upon en trance to the examination
room or at any time during the exam.
2. All coats, bags, brief cases, mobile phones and other materials must be placed
in the designated area, usually adjacent to the senior proctor’s table.
3. All reference books, materials, papers, magazines and journals must be
deposited at the senior proctor’s table. Unless otherwise indicated, they must not be
within the sight or reach of candidates.
4. Candidates may not borrow anything from other candidates.
9
5. It is the students’ responsibility to know whether translation dictionaries are
permitted or not
6. Possession of unauthorized notes or reference material whether referred to or
not, may be taken as proof of cheating regardless of their nature.
7. Candidates may not leave the room for any reason once the examination has
started for any reason. Candidates leaving the examination room will not be allowed to
return. Students are advised to use the restrooms immediately before an
examination.
8. Talking to anyone other than the proctor in the examination room is not
permitted.
9. Student may not use cell phones, pagers or any text messaging devices.
10. Students must stop working at the end of the time allowed for the exam.
Continuing to work on the exam after the allotted time is considered as cheating.
11. Communicating answers to other students is as serious as receiving answers.
Students who assist others are subject to disciplinary action and penalties.
ORIGINALITY AND PLAGIARISM
Except where joint projects or group work is specifically encouraged or required,
essays and examination answers must be student’s own work. Students are expected to
consult original sources or secondary literature in the course of their studies, but when
they present the results of their study, they must formally acknowledge their sources.
Equally, although it is important for students to discuss their work with their fellowstudents, it is not legitimate for them to copy from other students’ work.
Acknowledging sources means, for example,
– referring to the source directly
– giving full information in students’ bibliography
– using quotation marks whenever you are directly quoting the author’s views in
his or her own terms
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism is defined as submitting
someone else’s work as one’s own. Plagiarism occurs when a person:
1. Directly copies one or more sentences of another per son’s written work without
acknowledgment.
2. Closely paraphrases one or more paragraphs without acknowledgment of the
origin of the ideas.
3. Uses facts, figures, drawings or charts without acknowledging the source.
4. Fails to put a word for word citation in quotation marks assuming that
referencing the source is sufficient (i.e. a referenced work created by “cut”
and “paste”)
5. Turns in an assignment done by someone else.
Penalty Guidelines
The appropriate penalty for an incident of academic dishonesty depends on the
level of the academic dishonesty and on the person’s record. Individuals involved in
multiple incidents of academic dishonesty should be given harsher sentences with
each additional incident of dishonesty.

GENERAL CONDUCT POLICY
Faculty and students are considered to be professionals and adults, whether

12. The playing of cards and/or gambling on campus grounds
PROCEDURES FOLLOWED FOR BREACHES OF PERSONAL CONDUCT
All members of the KAZUIR&WL community are required to give true and
accurate testimony during any of the procedures listed below. Giving false or
misleading testimony to an officer of KAZUIR&WL who is investigating a complaint,
or to any official body that is judging a complaint may result in disciplinary action.
Disciplinary Probation
Disciplinary probation is a formal warning to a student that their conduct is
unsatisfactory. A record of the probation is placed in the student’s academic file. Any
further violations of the discipline code will result in automatic suspension or
dismissal from KAZUIR&WL.
Exclusion
The student is told to leave campus and not allowed to return to KAZUIR&WL.
Any degree candidacy or academic standing is automatically nullified.
Monetary Compensation For Damages From The Student
11
In cases where property has been damaged (E.g. computers, software, fixtures
etc.), the Administration may offer the student an opportunity to compensate
KAZUIR&WL for the damage caused.
Ban from Computer Facilities and Laboratories
Violations of the Rules of Use of Computer Laboratories may result in the
student being banned temporarily or permanently from computer facilities and
laboratories.
HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES
Students have a duty, whilst on the University campus, to take reasonable care for
their own health and safety, and that of others who may be affected by their acts and
omissions. The Faculty has its own Health & Safety Policy which should be read in
conjunction with the University Health & Safety policy, which can be viewed on the
University web pages.
Smoking
Smoking can only take place outside university buildings, but smokers are advised
they must not congregate close to building entrances, beneath workplace windows, etc.,
where their smoke could enter the workplace and cause a nuisance to others. Cigarette
ends and other smoking-related litter must not be left on the ground. Where ashtrays or
similar receptacles are provided these must be used, or the litter taken away for suitable
disposal elsewhere.
Security
Students should bear in mind that universities are public places and that their
personal possessions are their responsibility. Students should take special care if
carrying a laptop computer: putting it in a scruffy carrier bag will attract far less
attention than using a smart case.
If their is any problem relating to security, Students should inform the Security
Office (at front entrance to Main Building).
STUDY FACILITIES IN THE FACULTY
The classes for students are conducted in the teaching rooms of three educational
buildings. Students have possibility to develop translational and interpretation skills in

Note: 1. Elective courses are chosen by students and are included in the academic programme
2. No subject is given a flexible time framework as all basic subjects and elective courses are
taught according to the timetable approved by the Vice-Rector for academic affairs.
Assessment concept of the study programme is based on the assessment system of the University,
which can be subdivided into:
1) Current control;
2) Rating control;
3) Midterm control;
4) Final Examination
All types of control assessment include performance of laboratory, practical and
home assignments, class attendance, tests, colloquiums, reports, interviews, etc. The
types and number of current control depend on the module content and workload in
terms of hours. Likewise, the mark for rating knowledge assessment is defined by the
teacher depending on the module peculiarities. The Deadline for all types of assessment
is determined by a calendar schedule of the study process.
The rating system of student assessment is a series of events which ensures quality
control of student performance while acquiring the main educational programmes.
Within the rating system, the assessment of the student performance is cumulative and
is used for learning and teaching process management, granting scholarships and
recruiting graduates.
Computer technology is used to process and store the assessment data.
The total score given for all types of control is 100 points.
The structure of the module includes:
a) Knowledge development programme;
15
b) Skills development programme, containing complex academic achievements of
skills and methods of development;
c) List of problem-solving tasks (for the theoretical modules) and problem-solving
pragmatic/professional tasks;
d) Audiovisual materials and other technical support;
e) Types of controls which include different test tasks and activities as roleplaying, interactive technologies, round-tables, conferences, projects, presentations and
multimedia educational programmes;
f) Topics and tasks for further independent study, schedules and control forms;
g) Topics for research (reports, course and diploma papers)
Total mark (TM) is calculated as following:
TM = [(MT1+MT2)] * 0.6+Ex * 0.4
2
MT=CC+RC+ SIS, where
MT stands for Midterm
CC stands for current control
SIS stands for students independent studies
TM - a numerical equivalent of total examination marks
Total is 100 points

The academic assessment of students is implemented through current, independent
work, mid-term and final controls.
Current assessment includes successful fulfillment of practical assignments,
writing essays, reports and attendance. Types and number of tasks depend on the
module content and workload. Deadline is determined by a programme schedule.
The system of academic assessment is a complex of events which ensure control
for the quality of the students’ performance. Within the system, assessment of the
quality of the master students’ performance is cumulative and used for learning and
teaching process management, scholarship granting, and graduates’ recruitment.
16
Monitoring the evaluation is carried out by means of IT - computer system which
processes all information.
Independent study results are also taken into consideration and are a part of final
grades.
Mid-term assessment is conducted every seventh week. There are two module
assessment periods at the University. The test system can be performed in two forms:
paper-based or computer based tests.
The final assessment includes tests, presentation of project work on a given
problem as well as text analyses, modeling of translation, etc.
Students whose rating points are less than 50% on the module are not allowed to
take an exam. They have to go through a retake procedure. Final control examination is
calculated according to the following formula:
Grade Point Average (GPA)
Grade Point Average (GPA), the basis for assessment student’s academic standing
and their graduation eligibility, are delivered as follows: each credit graded “A” through
“F” is given a corresponding numeral value called “quality points”
GPA is determined by the Digit Equivalent (in points) multiplied by Number of
subject credits and is divided by Number of subject credits.
GPA is used to transfer the students from one academic year to next one.
Students are given feedback regularly during classes as well; they are informed of
exam dates, requirements and assessment criteria beforehand. The results are discussed
and analyzed by tutors and individual programmes for improvement are worked out.
GRADE APPEAL
If a student feels that a grade is incorrect, s/he should contact the instructor. Ideally
this should be done within a few days of the posting of the grades, but at the latest by
the end of the second week of classes of the following semester. If the student is unable
to resolve the disagreement with the instructor then the student should contact the chair
or program director of the department responsible for the course. The request must be
made by the end of the second week of the following semester.
An appeal can only be made on the grounds that the process for determining the
grade was incorrect. Examples include:
1. the answer key for an exam is incorrect
2. the points on an exam are incorrectly totaled
3. the average or total points for the course are incorrectly calculated
A student may not appeal a grade simply because s/he is dissatisfied with the
grade. A grade review will not be considered where:
1. the evaluation is subjective (as the evaluation of an essay)
2. an answer is insufficient or incomplete
3. there is disagreement over partial credit
4. an assessment or exam is perceived as too difficult
5. a penalty was applied for plagiarism or academic dishonesty
Upon receiving the review request the chair or program director should contact the
instructor for a review of the basis for assigning the grade. If the instructor has left
KAUIR&WL then the chair or program director shall evaluate all available information.
17
The chair or program director has five working days to review the grade
determination. The chair or program director should first attempt to mediate the grade
disagreement. Thereafter the chair or program director may issue a recommendation.
The chair or program director may not change the grade.
If either the student or the instructor disagrees with the recommendation of the
chair (or program director) s/he may request a formal review by the appeals committee.
Both the student and the instructor should provide a written statement that clarifies
their position. The chair or program director then convenes the appeals committee (at
least three faculty members). The committee meets within five working days of
receiving the written request. The committee reviews the statements of the instructor
and the student but should not be informed of the recommendation of the chair or
program director. Where possible both the student and the instructor should appear
before the appeals committee to respond to questions from the committee.
The appeals committee issues a recommendation. The recommendation of the
appeals committee and the independent recommendation of the chair or program
director are then forwarded to the dean. The dean may contact the student and the
instructor for additional clarification. If the dean agrees with the recommendation of the
appeals committee then the dean implements the recommendation and the decision is
final. The dean has the authority to change the grade.
If the dean disagrees with the recommendation of the appeals committee then the
dean forwards the recommendation of the chair or program director and the
recommendation of the appeals committee along with his/her own recommendation to
the Director of Academic Department who implements and makes the final decision.
The final decision is to be made within five working days after the meeting of the
appeals committee. The dean or the Director of Academic Department notifies both the
student and the instructor of the final decision.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
To calculate the grade point average in a credit based system, the numerical points
for each grade are multiplied by the number of credits for the course. The results are
summed for all courses included in the calculations. The total is the “Credit-Hour
Value” (CHV). The Credit-Hour Value is divided by the total number of credits which
yields the grade point average. The following is an example:
History of Civilizations A 3 credits
4.00 (for A) X 3 (credits) = 12.00
Kazakh Language B 2 credits
3.00 (for B) X 2 (credits) = 6.00
Credit-Hour Value = 18.00, Credits = 5
18.00 / 5 = 3.60 grade point average
ACADEMIC RECORDS
The Registrar Office maintains records of student academic performance.
Academic records are available on a continuous basis in three forms: mid semester
grade reports, graduation checklists, and official transcripts. Grades and credits earned
are posted to academic records only when they become official. Thus there can be a
18
delay of up to 72 hours between the completion of a course and the posting of credits
and grades.
Mid-semester grade report
Mid-semester grades are temporary grades which are assigned in some courses.
The grades can be indicated as Pass or Fail, as “C or above”, “D”, or “F”, or as any
letter grade including “+” and “–” depending on the preference of the instructor. The
purpose of a mid-semester grade is to provide the student with information on
his/her progress before the end of a course. Mid-semester grades are posted to the
transcript or checklist.
Graduation checklist
The graduation checklist is an internal document which tracks a student’s
progress towards meeting degree graduation requirements. Completed coursework is
organized by degree requirement rather than by semester.
The checklist is used for advising purposes and should not be circulated
outside KAUIR&WL.
Official Transcript
The official transcript is the formal presentation of a student’s record to the
external community. The official transcript contains the KAUIR&WL logo and address.
It is printed on blue security paper with the name of the university in white typeface
across the front of the document. The registrar signs an official transcript and
certifies the document with the registrar’s official seal.
A student may request an official copy of the transcript for any purpose at any time
upon payment of the transcript fee.
Retake (Repeat) of a Course
If a student receives a failing grade in a course, the student may retake the course.
All grades for a course and subsequent retakes are recorded on the transcript, but only
the last grade is included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average. To
retake a course, a student should register for the course and pay tuition and for other
courses as well. The student must attend class sessions (lectures and/or tutorials) and
complete all assignments and examinations, the same as if s/he was taking the course
for the first time. A student may not carry forward assignments or exam scores from a
previous enrollment nor can s/he use current assignments or exam grades to raise a
grade from a previous semester. To retake a course for the third time a student needs the
approval of the dean of the student’s faculty. The fourth and subsequent retakes require
the approval of the Director of Academic Department
Independent Study
An undergraduate student (in good academic standing on regular status) may
enroll in independent study during the final semester before graduation if a course
needed for graduation is not offered or if a course needed for graduation has been
cancelled. Before an independent study can be authorized, the student should consult
the program advisors to determine if a substitute course is available. Independent study
is not authorized if the required course has been previously offered and the
student would have been able to take the course but elected not to do so.
19
The process for completing an independent study is as follows:
1. A faculty member with expertise in the subject area (preferably a faculty
member who has previously conducted the course) agrees to supervise the
independent study.
2. The faculty member submits a study plan specifying the learning objectives,
reading assignments, student-faculty contact schedule, and methods of assessment.
3. A faculty panel consisting of the chair or associate dean and one member
from the department review the study plan. The panel may approve or disapprove the
plan, or request additional information.
4. If the faculty panel agrees then a recommendation is made to the dean for final
approval.
5. The dean notifies in writing the Registrar’s Offce of the approval of the
independent study.
6. The student registers for the course as independent study and pays the regular
tuition fee.
7. At the end of the semester the faculty supervisor submits all documents
verifying completion of the independent study along with the grade for the course.
Students are given feedback regularly during classes as well; they are informed of
exam dates, requirements and assessment criteria beforehand. The results are discussed and
analyzed by tutors and individual programmes for improvement are worked out. Students
have an opportunity to get information about their grades in the following ways:
1. Website. The students by encoding their blue card number can get the necessary
information on their current rating results, exam and module results, independent work
results, etc.
2. The Office of the Registrar.
The Registrar Office
Mission and Purpose
The mission of the Registrar Office is to foster student academic progress by
ensuring the proper maintenance of academic records beginning with the students’
first contact with KAUIR&WL through to graduation and thereafter. A register
is a person appointed by the Rector’s order and must possess a higher professional
education and two year working experience.
The purpose of the Registrar’s Office is
to provide effective registration and record-keeping services,
to provide accurate academic information to students, faculty, and staff,
to monitor academic policies and procedures,
to maintain accurate, permanent, and confidential student records,
to provide certified documentation of academic records where necessary.
REGISTRAR’S ON-LINE RESOURCES
The Registrar’s Office maintains a website with information and resources for
students, faculty, and administrators. Through the website students have access their
own personal records. Confidentiality of individual records is maintained by a
personalized pass word system.
20
The website is available at www.ablaikhan.kz
For Students: Here a student can check his/her advising materials, holds and
blocks, checklist, personal registration schedule, transcript, final examination schedule,
grades, etc.
LEAVE AND WITHDRAWAL FROM KAZUIR&WL
Academic Leave
A student may request a leave of absence by submitting a leave of absence form to
the Registrar Office. The maximum time for a leave of absence is one academic year. If
a student does not enroll for classes and does not request a leave of absence, s/he is
administratively withdrawn from KAUIR&WL at the end of the late registration period
in the second semester of non-enrollment (excluding summer sessions).
Withdrawal from KAUIR&WL
Withdrawal can be initiated by the student or by KAUIR&WL.
KAUIR&WL has the right to administratively withdraw students for poor
academic performance, for violations of KAUIR&WL regulations, for disciplinary
reasons, for expiration of the time allowed for graduation, or for non-registration
(unless a leave of absence has been submitted).
Withdrawal from KAUIR&WL terminates the agreements between the student and
the University.
To voluntarily withdraw from KAUIR&WL a student should
1. Process a withdrawal form;
2. Settle all debts and obligations with the University;
3. Retrieve all official documents (such as UNT certificate) from the Admission
Office.
If a student later desires to return to KAUIR&WL s/he must reapply for
admission, following regular admission procedures.
TRANSFER BETWEEN PROGRAMMES
At KAUIR&WL, degree students are admitted to a specifIc program. For various
reasons a student may later decide to pursue studies in a different program. A transfer
to another program is permitted, subject to the following limitations:
1. Transfer requests can only be processed after sessions.
2. The student must meet all admission and/or transfer requirements of the
receiving program.
3. Student has notified the parent faculty and has written permission of the dean of
the receiving faculty.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS
Academic achievements or qualification gained at other higher educational
institutions are recognized, but students from other higher educational institutions can be
transferred to the University only if their academic achievements differ in no more than 5
subjects. A special commission consisting of teachers of the faculty also determines the
knowledge level of the transferring students on the basis of tests and quizzes.
European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) transfer
21
Coursework completed at European universities is often defined in terms of ECTS
(European Credit Transfer System). ECTS is based on workload and learning outcomes
rather than on class contact time. This is quite different from the North American
system used by KAZUIR&WL. Nonetheless credits from ECTS universities can be
transferred to KAZUIR&WL.
If the number of contact hours for a course is more than ½ * ECTS * 15 then the
number of transfer credits should be based on the number of contact hours. In such
cases the number of credits is the total contact time divided by 15. Otherwise the
number of KAZUIR&WL credits should be based on the following conversion table.

STUDENTS AFFAIRS
Office of Student’s Affairs
The support of students towards achieving their educational goals is the focus
of the Office of Student’s Affairs. The office provides an environment that fosters
the intellectual and personal development of students, consistent with KAUIR&WL’s
mission. The Office of Student’s Affairs reinforces and extends KAUIR&WL’s
influence beyond the classroom. Our services include student support services such as
Recreation and Sports, Student Housing and Student Life.
Student’s Organizations
Student’s Organizations play a vital role at any academic institution. Personal
development that occurs outside the classroom is as important as what is learned inside
the classroom. Currently, there are over 10 registered Student Organizations that bring
unlimited excitement and energy to the campus. In addition, their work contributes
greatly to the intellectual and personal development of our students. When possible, we
try to encourage our student leaders to participate in the development of KAZUIR&WL
policies and procedures, and often invite them to serve on Committee in order to
represent the interests of students. Some of the more active organizations include:
Student’s’ Parliament
Committee of Student’s Affairs
Students’ Dormitory Councils
Center of Student’s Initiatives
Student’s Chorus
Dombra Orchestra “Ak zhelen”
KVN (Club of Witty and Merry Students);
Dance Ensemble “Rhythms of the World”
Dance clubs “Seven”, “Night jump”
Clubs: “Dostar”, “Parasat”, “Necsus”

dormitory space for newly admitted and current students will be collected by the
Student Committee.
Procedures for Applying for Accommodation and Residing in the Dormitory
Students who wish to live in the Dormitory must apply and submit a completed
financial application to the Student Committee. Depending on the number of spaces
available in the Dormitory, students are selected for a place in the Dormitory. Upon
arrival to KAZUIR&WL, students may claim their room only if all necessary
documentation has been fled and the student has completed the Contract for Living in
Dormitory Form.
Students can move in to the Dormitory within the whole academic year. Students

- mounting business documentation in the languages they use.
Graduate will be able to possess the following competences: interculturalcommunicative, general professional, and special professional.
Intercultural-communicative competence is formed by means of activating
linguistic, cognitive, lingua-cultural, sociolinguistic, discursive, strategic and linguaself-educational subcompetences. As a whole, this competence is defined by
competence in a foreign language and develops a broad social and cultural platform for
foreign language. Its elements can be defined in the following way:
linguistic subcompetence is defined with a system of theoretical and practical
knowledge in а foreign language, communicative use of the knowledge in speech, and
forming “motivation of integration” of speech activities in the students;
cognitive subcompetence predefines the students’ abilities to recognize and use
cognitive complexes in foreign languages, i.e. theoretical concepts and concepts
(“hidden knowledge”) acquired on practical basis (knowledge as understanding);
lingua-cultural subcompetence aims at perception of a system of professional
concepts and categories in a foreign language, accumulating and synthesis of
professional and lingua-cultural information;
lingua-self-educational subcompetence is a complex of students’ knowledge,
skills and abilities in independent learning activity including elements of logical,
linguistic and common studying activities. A student develops creativity, independence,
26
and skills of control, self-control and self-rating of his or her individual innovative
activity towards the subjects he or she studies.
General professional competence is formed by means of activating foreignlanguage, analytic and systematic foreign-language, creative foreign-language and
professional, projecting foreign-language and professional, information- technological,
and scientific-research subcompetences. As a whole, this competence is defined by the
validity of students’ performance in basic professional activities by means of
developing and perfection of linguistic abilities; and students’ conativeness, emotions
and volition during academic and self-education activities. Its elements can be defined
in the following way:
foreign-language subcompetence is defined with a further integration of
structural and semantic blocks of knowledge of a foreign language which is
implemented in all the types of speech activities by means of communicative
discourses;
creative foreign-language and professional subcompetence forms creative metaknowledge in a foreign language linked with generalization, systematization, and
evaluation of the results. The cognitive operations listed above reflect personal aspect of
students’ competence in a foreign language in general and their axiological posture in
particular;
projecting foreign-language and professional subcompetence assumes the
highest level of hierarchical integration of linguistic, analytical, synthetic, and creative
skills of foreign language use, which provide a whole of foreign language and
professional abilities needed to form and develop vocabulary capacities in a foreign
language underlying establishment and implementation of students’ professional
activity as translators;
information-technological subcompetence develops abilities and skills to search,
analyse, and select the necessary information and to covert, save, transform and transfer
it, forms abilities to use mass media, multi media, computer, electronic, and internet
technologies;
scientific-research subcompetence aims at establishing research capabilities via
teaching scientific research mechanism, models and standards of scientific projects, and
their experimental approbation.
Special professional competence is formed by means of activating foreignlanguage and professional, subject-oriented translating, subject-specialized translating,
instrumental, functional-prognostic, and professional-translating subcompetences. As a
whole, this competence is defined by the validity of performing translation activities in
a variety of translations while considering multivariate system of translation specialties.
Its elements can be defined in the following way:
foreign-language and professional subcompetence assumes a professional
command of a foreign language in all aspects of speech activity which is directly linked
to technology of professional activity as a translator;
subject-oriented translating subcompetence is defined with a system of concepts
within a given area of translation (types and genres of translation) which allows to
analyze translations and to perform translation acts. This subcompetence relies on
implementation of a system of theoretical and practical bases of translation;
27
subject-specialized translating subcompetence aims at a further development of
translational skills and abilities. This subcompetence relies on a system of specific
translational activities which allow performing professional translation of texts of
different genres and various types of translation (depending on a major of a translator
(translator, synchronous interpreter, guide interpreter, etc.));
professional-translating subcompetence assumes an integrated use of linguistic
and translation skills and abilities, information and innovative technologies in all the
translation activity aspects.
The curriculum of the Programme is worked out in accordance with the State
Standard of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The
provisions of the Curriculum are compulsory for all institutions of higher education that

Table of the curriculum for the 4 th year students (2011-2012 academic year)
MISSED LECTURES:
If a student misses a seminar or a lecture through illness or for other, documented
reasons, he/she should catch up missed information as soon as possible, and lecturers
should be informed of the reasons for any absences.
Catching up may be achieved by contacting a fellow-student prior to the lecture
and asking them to collect copies of relevant handouts; by checking with the lecturer to
find out what guided reading they could advise and asking for copies of handouts; by
checking on Blackboard to see whether work has been posted there, for the missed
seminar and for the next seminar. Staff is not normally able to offer individual tuition to
students who have missed lecturers or seminars.
ORIGINALITY AND PLAGIARISM
Except where joint projects or group work is specifically encouraged or required,
essays and examination answers must be student’s own work. Students are expected to
consult original sources or secondary literature in the course of their studies, but when
they present the results of their study, they must formally acknowledge their sources.
Equally, although it is important for students to discuss their work with their fellowstudents, it is not legitimate for them to copy from other students’ work.
Acknowledging sources means, for example,
– referring to the source directly
– giving full information in students’ bibliography
– using quotation marks whenever you are directly quoting the author’s views in
his or her own terms.

September to May and is divided into two terms. Each term contains two ratings that cover
two themes stipulated by the curriculum. During these terms each student is expected to work
at classes of practical English that are alternated with classes in language laboratory equipped
for the purposes of developing listening skills and consolidating language knowledge by
performing back interpretation. The independent work has the form of a project work the
final product of which is a written analysis, a presentation or debates.
The module covers a wide range of materials connected with the economic, legal, medical
and scientific trends and development of various countries in the stipulated fields (the level
of the development in a certain field, problems related to current development of
Kazakhstan, ways of solving the problems in contrast with those of other countries), the

The aim of the subject is to develop translation competence in translating of Medical and
Scientific Texts, Law and Agriculture Texts. Students can develop linguistic and translation
skills in comparing types of foreign and mother languages and reveal basic common and
diverse features of English, Kazakh and Russian languages.
Course structure:
The discipline consists of two types of translation (Medical Translation and Scientific
34
Translation, Law and Agriculture Translation)
5
Schedule of FRC:
1 Module Unit – 7.5 weeks
2 Module Unit – 7.5 weeks
3 Module Unit – 5 weeks
4 Module Unit – 5 weeks
Teaching methods: group work (team translation).
A Model Lesson 1:
The translation of a medical (scientific, law, agriculture) research article in groups of three to
five students and it involves: (1) reading and discussing the theoretical studies written on this
topic; (2) journal keeping in order to reflect upon the problems posed by the translation and
the different methods utilized to reach solutions; (3) translation of the article.
A Model Lesson 2:
Reading the text from step 1 to step 4. In order to translate a text it has to be understood.
Step 1: First reading. Examine the macrostructure of the text.
The student must understand the contents of the text as a whole and consider two aspects, the
general aspect of the contents and its specific aspect. At this stage students try to analyse
whether the text is complete, what its context is, who the author is, and who the addressee is,
when it was written and where it was published. With regard to the formal aspects, students
need to see how long the different paragraphs are, whether the titles and subtitles are
adequate, and whether there are footnotes, tables, graphs, cross-references, etc. Training
should also mention elements of the bibliography or reference list.
Step 2: Second reading.
This phase focuses on unknown terms, connecting words and collocations. At this stage the
logic of the text should be clear to the student, and students should reflect on whether or not
this same logical structure is to be kept for the target text as well. Pertinent documentation
and parallel texts ought to be at hand from this stage on.
6
Step 3: Third reading.
This reading serves to analyse the microstructure of the text and to see whether each sentence
adds to a logical structure for the target audience and the target language. Students then need
to analyse whether the logic of the text is consistent with the succession of paragraphs. This,
especially in the medical field, because the structure of the language differs substantially.
Step 4: Fourth reading.
The translation has been completed and “quality control” should take place. This means a
thorough comparison of source and target texts, first by the student, and always with the
pertinent documentation at hand. Second, an expert reader should revise the text.
Assessment methods
It is projected to conduct four midterms which include Current Control (CC), Students’
Independent Study (SIS), and Rating Control (RC), and examinations at the end of VII
semester and VIII semester.

Subject aims
The Functional Stylistics of the English and Kazakh/Russian Languages aims at studying
peculiarities in stylistics, styles and substyles of the given languages. Functional Stylistics is
the study of varieties of language whose properties position that language in context. For
example, the language of advertising, politics, religion, individual authors, etc., or the language
of a period in time, all are used distinctively and belong in a particular situation. In other
words, they all have ‘place’ or are said to use a particular 'style'. Stylistics also attempts to
establish principles capable of explaining the particular choices made by individuals and social
groups in their use of language, such as socialization, the production and reception of meaning,
critical discourse analysis and literary criticism. Other features of stylistics include the use of
dialogue, including regional accents and people’s dialects, descriptive language, the use of
grammar, such as the active voice or passive voice, the distribution of sentence lengths, the use
of particular language registers, etc. In addition, stylistics is a distinctive term that may be used
to determine the connections between the form and effects within a particular variety of
language. Therefore, stylistics looks at what is ‘going on’ within the language; what the
linguistic associations are that the style of language reveals.
49
Course structure
The course of functional stylistics is based on communicative foundations at activity
approach to process of training. It has the important practical value to forming communicative
competences, for developing standards of speech in foreign and native languages, for training
basis of the text editing, both in oral, and in written translations.
The course is taught on final year of teaching and constructed as lectures and seminar
studies, moreover it is provided for independent work of students under the supervision of
teacher, directed on the decision, mainly, of professional practical problems.
In lectures there is given systematical statement of main problems of the general and
functional stylistics of modern foreign and Kazakh / Russian languages. In lecture courses it is
important to teach students for general principles of stylistics, a basis system of style, the
rules cope with functioning of language means in various spheres of contact, specific
features of functional styles, to show the basic methods of the stylistic analysis of researched
material. Specificity of translation faculty (department) needs, that the course is based on
comparison of the stylistic phenomena of foreign and native languages that enables to acquaint
students more deeply with stylistic systems of these languages and difficulties of translation
from one language into another.
The purpose of seminar employment is to give deeper understanding of the basic
problems of the general and functional stylistics, to form practical skills of the stylistic
analysis of texts. On studies discussions of suggesting questions are carried out, students
messages of independently researched scientific literature concerning the themes not
including in a course of lectures are listened. Students get acquainted with methods of
practical analysis, problems of stylistic synonymy are considered, system of functional
styles, determinative style features of the text are revealed, comparison to translation into
the native language is carried out. As a material of the analysis authentic texts (oral and
written) are used of various functional styles and genres with pragmatic character which
choice can be defined by students’ specialization, specificity of their future work in this or that
field of activity (tasks for students’ independent work ). Lectures, seminars and students’
independent work should develop at them creative thinking, learn to do independent
generalizations and conclusions of observation at an actual material, to enrich linguistic and
translational competencies, and also to improve skills of contact in foreign language. At their
carrying out it is recommended to use modern technologies, methods of interactive training.

The cognitive sub-competency predefines the students’ abilities to recognize and use
cognitive complexes in foreign languages, i.e. theoretical concepts and concepts (“hidden
knowledge”) acquired on practical basis (knowledge as understanding);
The lingua-cultural sub-competency aims at teaching and learning of professional
concepts and categories in a foreign language, and at the accumulation and synthesis of
professional and lingua-cultural information;

INFORMATION FOR RELATED ASSIGNMENTS
GUIDELINES FOR WRITING AN ACADEMIC ESSAY
Essays, in the required word length, should have a title page providing the title of
the essay, the student’s name and/or candidate number (as specified in the module
specification), programme, module, lecturer’s name, date of submission. It is highly
recommended to have a separate page as a table of content, listing the headings of the
chapters and sub-chapters and the respective page numbers. If necessary, a page
providing abbreviations, survey of tables, figures, or similar, should follow.
Clarify the meaning of a given essay topic or field of research. Relate it to your
lecture notes and what you have read during the teaching period. An essay question
always contains a question you need to answer, or a thesis you are expected to discuss.
It is essential that you focus your essay accordingly. This will help you structure your
material and to decide on what is relevant or irrelevant for your work. Seek help if you
are in any doubt about remit of the topic.
The structure of the essay should reflect a logical arrangement, and it should be
an argumentative essay. Structure your essay clearly: introduction, main section(s),
conclusion, and bibliography (mention only books and other sources that you have
actually quoted in your essay). The essay should start with a clear outline of its aim and
an overview of its structure. The introduction should also indicate why your topic is of
interest and relevance, what the essay attempts to achieve, and what you have
established to be the main conflicting views (if any). The body of the text (i.e. the main
sections) should reflect a critical engagement with existing literature. It should unfold
the main line(s) of your argument as backed up by relevant quotations. Quotes from the
literature need to be contextualised and commented on. Do not leave quotations
uncommented and make the relevance of the quotation for your argument clear. Where
necessary and/or appropriate, examples should be provided. The conclusion should not
be a mere summary of the body of the text, but should be devoted to discussing the
consequences of the topic/question/hypothesis etc. studied. If explicitly required, an
abstract is to precede the essay (after the title page).
Style:
Avoid using the first person singular (“I think that…, in my opinion…” etc). Do
not use commonplaces or state the obvious. Avoid paraphrasing the material you have
read; your job is to interpret it critically. What you argue in your essay has to be
supported by evidence (e.g. data in your corpus and/or quotes from primary or
secondary sources. The exact location of quotes needs to be referenced properly.
Format:
Use word-processing software. Handwritten essays are not acceptable. Take
advantage of the spell-checking facilities. Use the software facilities for automatic
numbering of pages and footnotes (if any). Use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc) rather than
roman numerals (I, II, III, etc) or symbols (*). Seek help from IT support personnel if
unsure about software facilities.
All quotes must be indicated by quotation marks. Make sure you understand the
crucial difference between plagiarism (disciplinary offence) and quoting (the very
characteristic of an academic essay)!! The essay must be typed double spaced
77
throughout on one side of A4 paper, with wide margins. Use at least a 12-point font.
Titles and section headings should be clear and brief. Lengthy quotations (over 40
words) should be displayed, indented, in the text. Tables and figures (if used) should
have short descriptive titles.
Notes should only be used for additional information or explanations. They should
be indicated by superscript numbers in the text and appear as footnotes on the respective
page. References cited in the text should read as follows:
• direct citation: Nord (1997: 55)
• reference to publication: Nord (1997), Nord (1991, 1997), Hatim and Mason
(1997)
• Use ‘et al.’ for more than two authors
• The letters a, b, c, etc. should be used for different works by the same author in
the same year.
All text references should be listed alphabetically (by author or editor) at the end
under the heading References. For each title, the following information is to be
provided: author, year of publication, title, where published, town of publication,
publisher, page numbers. For journals, the volume, the issue, and the page numbers
need to be provided.
GUIDELINES FOR THE PROJECT WORK
The basis of the project method constitutes development of informative, creative
skills, and also students’ ability to construct individually their knowledge, ability to
orient in the informative area, development of critical thinking.
The method of projects always orients on independent work of students –
individual, pair and group works, which students make during certain period of time.
This approach harmonically combines in cooperating with the method of studying.
The method of projects always assumes the decision of some problem providing
on the one hand use of various methods with another - integration of knowledge,
abilities from different areas of a science, techniques, technology, creative areas.
Improvement of cognitive skills at students, ability to form individually their
knowledge, ability to orient in the informative area, improvement of critical thinking all
lay on method of projects. Results of fulfilled projects should be so-called “tangible”,
i.e. if it is a theoretical problem it will need concrete decision; if it is a practical one it
will need concrete result ready for an implementation.
The work on method of projects assumes not only presence and realization of
such problem but also the process of its openings, decisions, that include accurate
planning of actions, presence of decision’s intention and hypothesis, accurate
distribution( if it means group work) of roles, i.e. tasks for every participant under the
assumption of close cooperation. The method of project making is used only in that case
when in studying process appears any research, creative challenge for which dissolving
needs interconnected knowledge from various fields, also the using of research
techniques.
For the method of project making increasingly substantive the question of
practical, theoretical and significance of expanding purviews of supposed results.
78
Work on the project is carefully planned and discussed by students under the
supervising by the teacher. Thus it is carried out a detailed planning of a substantial part
of the project with the indication of stage-by-stage results and terms of "public" results
representation, i.e. other students of group, or for example the external user of the
Internet which is not having the direct attitude to process of training
Research methods of teaching lie in the basis of educational projects. All
students’ activity is focused on the following stages:
1. Decision of the problem and followed research tasks;
2. Advancement of hypothesis of solution them;
3. Discussion of research methods;
4. Conducting of assemblage data;
5. Analysis of received data;
6. Mounting of ultimate results;
7. Summarizing, correction, conclusions (use during joint research of a method of
"brain storm", "a round table", statistical methods, creative reports, viewings and
other).

GUIDELINES ON COLLOQUIUM AND ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS
Colloquium
Colloquium - from Latin, conversation, from colloqu , to talk together : com-,
com- + loqu , to speak; see tolkw- in Indo-European roots
Colloquium is an informal meeting for the exchange of views.
Colloquium is an academic seminar on a broad field of study, usually led by an
instructor at each meeting.
Colloquium is an academic meeting or seminar usually led by an instructor and on
a different topic at each meeting.
Research colloquium is a colloquium at which the results of (scientific) research
are reported.
Papers with the results of analysis have to be sent to the instructor by e-mail. The
procedure of passing the colloquium is a discussion with the instructor on the indicated
dates.
Round table discussions
Method of “Round table” is the main form of organization of exchange of
opinions. The teacher's role has a new objective: to teach how to search for this
information, be critical of and interact with it, and use it for the holistic development of
each person. New technologies, and specifically, telematics are very useful tools,
because they allow contact and exchange of knowledge among people through
collaborative work. This is also an excellent information source.
79
This new type of work is a first step to be able to eradicate prejudices: those
attitudes which take differences not as implying people's right to their own identity
(cultural diversity), but as the justification for another kind of right which creates
servitude.
GUIDELINES ON FINAL THESIS
What is final thesis?
A final thesis is a piece of writing, an act of academic discourse. It is written in
order to be assessed. The purpose of the final thesis is to show that students can work
independently, make use of data and sources of information, critically review ideas,
collate ideas and express these ideas in an academic format. The final thesis does not
have to be totally original but should show evidence of independent thought. The final
thesis being an act of academic discourse means that there are certain conventions
involved in this type of writing, of which the giving of references is an important one.
In sum, a final thesis is an act of academic discourse in which students
demonstrate:
 an awareness of what others have done in the chosen area
 an ability to evaluate and engage in the debate that students discover
 an ability to deploy effectively some of the knowledge and skills students have
gained during the course
Topic choice
The final thesis represents the most substantial piece of work students undertake on
the course, so it is important to make sure that their choice of the topic and planning
give them the best chance of doing well. Students are encouraged to choose their own
topic, and they are free to discuss possible final thesis topics with their lecturers and the
programme tutor.
Contact with Supervisor
Once a proposal has been formally accepted, a supervisor is appointed. The
responsibility for maintaining contact with a supervisor lies with students, since they are
in the best position to decide when they need help and advice.
How much students seek advice from their supervisor is a matter for students to
decide, but it is highly advisable that they submit a draft of part of their final thesis (for
example, a key chapter) for consideration. Students should also include an outline of the
contents of all chapters (including a proposed timetable, details of how they will
collect/analyse data etc.). Their supervisor will then be able to advise on the
acceptability of the work students are doing.
The supervisor’s role is reactive and students are expected to initiate all exchanges
and meetings. The role of supervisor is to:
1. discuss the topic with students and help them focus their ideas;
2. assist with suitable sources of data and references;
3. comment on draft material submitted;
4. deal with queries/problems brought up by you in so far as it is possible to do so
80
Presentation of the final thesis
The final thesis should be of 40-60 pages and should conform to the general
University practice. Two copies of the final thesis, properly bound in University covers,
must be submitted to the Faculty’s office by the specified date. The title page should
correspond to the guidelines and that the final thesis includes at the beginning a conepage summary or abstract.
Students should pay attention to the guidelines on bibliographical references and
acknowledgement sources to avoid any suspicion of plagiarism. The rule is simple
enough: unless students clearly indicate that they are quoting or paraphrasing,
they must always use their own words. Any words which are not their own must
appear in quotation marks, with the source acknowledged (with the page number) and
full details provided in the references section. It is not sufficient to include a source in
the text or the list of references and then to quote from this without the extracts in
quotation marks.
University rules clearly state that plagiarism is a serious disciplinary offence
which may lead to expulsion from the course.
