His schedule was very tight: 90-year old veteran of war and oil industry and, since recently, newlywed Kourmanbai Dosymbetuly (or Kurmanbai-ata) is either staying out or, on the contrary, giving party in his house. I arrived to Akzhar village on Friday afternoon. I opened the door of the small tidy house and was immediately enveiled with clouds of “beshbarmak” - meat a la Kazakh. Just as I thought, Grandad again was entertaining guests in his house! May 9 2013, 06:18 2 892 просмотрs

Society To Seize Tomorrow What caused me to write this article is the conversation I had with my 7 year-old daughter, who asked me what was the meaning of the word “teaching method”? I looked at her with surprise, a little child who could pronounce this word combination so easily. I was thinking how to explain to her the meaning of this terminology in a language that is comprehensible to her, when she again said: “Natalia Serikovna is introducing a new teaching method in our class. She arranged the desks in a circle and during the answer we show green, red or yellow cards. We also put marks to each other, and at the end of the lesson we glue stickers on an apple tree, if we liked the lesson, and if we didn’t – then we put a sticker on a lemon tree. We are going to have an interactive board. It’’s all so exciting!” – said my daughter and there were sparks in her eyes when she spoke. April 11 2013, 16:46 2 349 просмотрs
