Everyone knows, these days new requirements, new aims and objectives have been set for educational institutions. And one of these important aims is to form a person with a developed language competence, who can quickly adapt to the environment and demonstrate knowledge and skills in his sphere. Therefore, language education based on the unique features of the nation and universal values, new directions of linguistics development which opens the way to the formation and development of the individual, is one of the most relevant issues.

Following the aim as above, this direction of the conference provides for the following issues:

• General theoretical aspects of language education;
• New methods of organising language education;
• Multilingual education based on intercultural relations;
• Trilingualism policy in the country and its implementation;
• Training of specialists necessary for language education;
• Role of translation in language education;
• Second language education (German, Chinese, Korean, Turkish, French and other languages).

The offered works will be evaluated according to their relevance and technical design.

STEAM education is one of the major trends in education that promotes students’ creative learning through utilising 21-century skills. Although STEAM explores the same concepts as in STEM education, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths, it integrates these concepts with the Arts discipline developing students’ creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through inquiry and problem-based learning.

This track of the ICBCB 2022 conference aims to bring together leading scholars, educators and practitioners with interests in any dimensions of STEAM education.

• The scope of STEAM track covers (but not limited to);
• Learning and Teaching Science (Chemistry, Physics, Biology);
• Technology-assisted learning;
• Engineering at school and beyond;
• Integration of Arts into STEM;
• Maths Education
• Project-based learning;
• Flipped Learning;
• CLIL;
• Robotics.

The conference will serve as a venue for sharing our experiences and acquiring a deeper knowledge about STEAM-related studies, projects and innovations from the collaborative work of local and international experts. The submissions will be accepted based on their originality, quality, significance, technical merit and relevance to ICBCB 2022.

Education research is the scientific field of study that examines education and learning processes. It embraces the full spectrum of rigorous methods appropriate to the questions being asked and also drives the development of new tools and methods.

This track will focus on innovative research methodologies in education. Specifically, new data collection and analysis techniques, triangulation of data, new methods for reliability and validity of research, new solutions for avoiding threats to the research, comparison of sampling methods, comparison of research designs, comparison of qualitative and quantitative research methods in the following tracks:

• Education in crisis situations;
• Education and displacement;
• Childhood, early years, primary education; 
• Secondary education;
• Further and higher education; 
• Adult and lifelong learning; 
• Curriculum and Pedagogy;
• Social theory, philosophy, cultural studies; 
• Research methodologies; 
• Quality and evaluation.

For the presenters there will be offered a dynamic and friendly environment to showcase and discuss their research, even if the research is still in early stages.

ICT in Education:

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Education is the medium in which the acquisition of learning material is greatly supported, enhanced, and optimised through the means of contemporary technology. Although desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smart phones, audio players, and projector devices may be viewed as the primary and/or only possible items in achieving ICT, there are other not less valuable and beneficial ways as well that should be taken into consideration. 

They are as follows: 

• Access of course materials via remote devices;
• Online digital repositories for learning materials;
• Online academic management systems;
• Employing the Flipped Classroom concept; 
• Massive Open Online Courses.

The conference speakers are expected to deliver talks on various aspects of ICT in Education, such as ways of successful integration of ICT in learning, possible solutions of dealing with ICT-enhanced learning drawbacks, addressing the Digital Divide [the gap between people with and without the access to technology]. Other related topics can be accepted by reviewer’s approval if only confirmed to be relevant.

This track will bring many ideas, which will help us to coordinate and to implement in behavioural education. These ideas will be used in class and out of class to balance development of children. Holistic education will bring together researchers and will provide discussions on topics such as:

• Character education;
• Values based education;
• Moral education;
• Social Emotional Learning;
• Teaching and pedagogy;
• Education policy;
• Sustainability and education. 

It also proposes that educational experience promotes a more balanced development of – and cultivates the relationship among – the different aspects of the individual, as well as the relationships between the individual and other people, the individual, and the natural environment, the inner-self of students and the external world.

Leadership in Education is now a priority policy for successful and quality learning, teaching and the development of any educational institution. The rapidly changing world has made it essential to reconsider the role of educational leaders and the strategies to motivate staff and improve student performance. However, educating people about leadership has always been challenging and complicated. The conference track is aimed at providing an intellectual platform for the development of the knowledge base and practice of leadership education, which allows for intercultural dialogue of academics through the engagement in applied research. The scope of this track includes, but is not limited to, practitioners, professionals and researchers who have been inspired by the local context of education as well as global trends to submit research presentations that explore such topics as:

• Universals of Leadership Values and Skills;
• Effective Leadership Styles in Primary, Secondary or Higher Education;
• Educational Leadership as the Cultural Product;
• Educational Leadership as the Agent for Cultural Progress and Entrepreneurship;
• Leadership Education in the Curriculum;
• Contemporary Educational Trends and Training 21st Century Leaders.

It is often believed that segregation, whether in separate institutions or separate classrooms within the institutions, is the best option for educating learners with unique characteristics, interests, abilities/disabilities and particular learning needs. However, the right to an international human rights law and internationally-agreed development goals reflect a strong preference for inclusive education.

This track on Inclusive Education will bring together researchers and will provide a venue for discussions on the topics such as: 

• Inclusion and Equity; 
• Student Giftedness; 
• Inclusion in Education Beyond Special Education Needs;
• Inclusion and Ethical Issues in Education; 
• Social, Religious and Cultural Diversity
• Diversity and intersectionality, including gender, dis/ability, race and ethnicity, nationality.

Furthermore, this track will provide an opportunity to discuss innovative ideas on the possible solutions for some of the challenges and improvement of the current conditions and to debate future research agendas in the wide range of topics related to Inclusive Education. All the submitted papers will be evaluated based on originality, technical merit, and innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas.

Akhmet Baitursynov was actively involved in political life seeking an independent state for his people and being one of the leading organisers of the Alash party and the Alash autonomy. His active political stance determined his fate – in October 1937, Baitursynov was arrested by the Stalinist regime and two months later, was executed. The upcoming 150th anniversary of prominent Kazakh scholar, statesman, linguist, and poet Akhmet Baitursynov was included in the UNESCO list of anniversaries for 2022-2023 during the 41st session of UNESCO’s General Conference.

Ybrai Altynsarin, despite his hardships and fate, strived to bring progressive thinking and education into the vast Kazakh steppes. He remains an inspiring story of a person who cared about his own community. Living in the same century with some of the most outstanding figures in Kazakh history, including Abai Kunanbayev and Shokan Ualikhanov, Altynsarin left an important legacy. He wrote the first Kazakh grammar book,  introduced the transition from the Perso-Arabic alphabet to the Cyrillic alphabet for the Kazakh language, translated a large number of textbooks, but most importantly, opened Kazakh-Russian boarding schools, technical schools, and schools for girls in his village. This conference is dedicated to the celebration of 180 years since the birth of prominent progressive educator Ybrai Altynsarin.
