On October 2, 2025, in group TP-25-13k1, senior lecturer of the department R.E. Ermetova held an open lesson on the subject "Russian language" on the topic "Artistic style of speech". The practical lesson was aimed at consolidating theoretical knowledge about the artistic style of speech and developing skills in analyzing works of art from the point of view of their linguistic design.
The lesson structure was logical and well-thought-out: theoretical principles about the characteristics of artistic style were organically combined with a variety of practical tasks, which ensured the students' active involvement in the work. The use of examples from fiction, creative exercises, and comparative analysis of texts contributed to the development of students' skills in interpreting and understanding the expressive means of language.
The practical lesson by senior lecturer R.E. Ermetova turned out to be information-rich, methodologically sound, and in line with the stated goals. The objectives of the lesson were successfully achieved, and its results contributed to the expansion of students' knowledge of artistic speech style and the development of their linguistic competence.

Since October 2025, students in the Philology 23-2r2 group of the 6B01720 – "Russian Language and Literature" educational program have been completing their teaching internship at the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Chemistry and Biology in Shymkent (led by L.S. Elubaeva, a teacher of Russian language and literature). During their teaching internship, students were introduced to innovative approaches to teaching Russian language and literature, as well as methods and technologies for criteria-based assessment of student academic achievement.

During the internship, they attended lessons with experienced teachers and learned the basic principles of short-term planning: they learned to formulate lesson objectives, determine expected outcomes, and select assignments that meet assessment criteria. The interns participated in observing and conducting individual lesson elements, applying their acquired knowledge in practice.

During the internship, students 

learned how to develop assignments for summative assessment in Russian language and literature in accordance with educational standards. They mastered the principles of formulating goals, criteria and assessment descriptors, and learned to distinguish between tasks for current (formative) and final (summative) assessment. As a result of their teaching internship, our students acquired valuable professional skills: they learned to design lessons using modern methodological approaches; create assignments and assessment criteria; conduct lesson analysis and self-analysis; and apply innovative technologies in teaching Russian language and literature. During their lessons, students paid special attention to the use of modern information and communication technologies, recognizing the importance of digital tools for increasing student interest and engagement, and also included interactive materials and presentations in the lesson structure.

From October 6, 2025 to October 10, 2025, teachers of the Department of Uzbek Language and Literature, Russian and English Languages ​​of the Bukhara Medical University named after Abu Ali Ibn Sino, candidate of philological sciences, associate professor Abdullaeva Dilorom Akhmedovna and candidate of pedagogical sciences Ashurbaeva Rukiya Kakhkhorovna underwent a short-term internship at the Department of Russian Language and Literature of the South Kazakhstan University named after M. Auezov as part of international cooperation.
The purpose of their visit was to exchange experiences and become familiar with Russian language teaching methods in Kazakhstan's higher education system.

As part of the internship program, the scholars from Bukhara met with the Dean of the Faculty of Philology, participated in a roundtable discussion with colleagues from the Faculty of Philology, discussed issues of further international cooperation, attended classes given by the department's faculty, delivered lectures on the subjects "Interactive Technologies and Methods of Teaching Russian Literature," "Modern Technologies and Methods of Teaching Russian," and "Introduction to Linguistics" in groups Ph-25-2r, Ph- 25-8r, Ph- 23-8r, Ph- 24-2r2, and conducted practical classes on the subjects "Russian Language" and "Professional Russian Language" in groups Ph- 25-3k3, Ph- 25-7k1, and Ph- 25-1k2.

From September 2 to October 10, 2025, second-year students of the master's program in the specialty 7M02311 - Philology: Russian language completed a research internship at the Department of Russian Language and Literature of the South Kazakhstan Pedagogical University named after A. Zhenibekov.

During their internship, the MF-24-3nr graduate students learned about the department's specific work, goals, objectives, and areas of research activities at the educational institution. Within the framework of the program, a strategy for further work on the dissertation was developed and tasks for the experimental part of the research were defined.

Practical activities included the selection, systematization and analysis of printed and electronic educational publications necessary for the preparation and implementation of the experimental stage of the dissertation work.
The internship focused on developing the students' research competencies: mastering modern methods and principles of scientific research, processing and using information, and creatively analyzing scientific and methodological literature.
The results of the internship contributed to the development of professional scientific skills in master's students, which are necessary for the successful completion of their master's thesis.

Since September 2025, students of the Ph-23-2dr group have been studying under the dual system (Educational program 6B01720 - Russian language and literature) at Secondary School No30 named after O. Zhandosov.
On September 26, 2025, students in the course "Modern Technologies and Methods of Teaching and Assessment" explored innovative technologies for teaching Russian, as well as active and interactive methods of teaching Russian.
During the lesson, students studied teaching methods and techniques, critical thinking development technologies, case study technologies, problem-based learning technologies, and gaming technologies. Active learning methods were considered: gaming technologies, discussions, brainstorming, case methods, problem-based learning. Students discussed how these approaches foster critical and creative thinking, foster interest in the subject, and actively engage students in Russian language learning. Practical classes focused on analyzing specific examples of method application, creating game tasks, modeling problematic situations, developing mini-cases for text analysis, and organizing group work in the classroom.
A modern lesson is aimed not only at acquiring knowledge, but also at developing the student's personality, critical thinking, communication skills, independence, and a creative approach to learning.

The modern school curriculum places emphasis on active and interactive teaching methods that engage each student in the learning process. The teacher acts not only as a bearer of knowledge, but also as an organizer of students' activities, guiding them to the independent discovery of new material. A variety of methods play a vital role: research-based lessons help students find answers independently, discussion-based lessons teach argumentation and listening to one another, game-based learning transforms the learning process into an engaging adventure, and the use of information and communication technologies makes lessons more visual and accessible. The modern lesson combines tradition and innovation, and the teacher becomes a guide who opens new paths to knowledge for students.

In the practical portion of the lesson, students from the Ph-23-2dr group, Milana Rozikova and Alina Korganova, demonstrated how a Russian language lesson in a modern school can combine traditional and innovative approaches. They conducted a lesson on "Lower Mythology" using a variety of methods: they developed interactive games to review previously covered material and a presentation explaining the new topic. This approach allowed them to maintain the lesson as the primary form of instruction, making it more dynamic and engaging, and demonstrating that a combination of explanation, reinforcement, and active discussion ensures the integrity and effectiveness of the learning process.

September 2025 was a truly special and fruitful month for M. Auezov South Kazakhstan University. Over the course of two action-packed weeks, the Faculty of Philology hosted significant events dedicated to the application of artificial intelligence in linguistics and linguodidactics.

From September 15 to 29, Shymkent hosted a series of open lectures, master classes, and workshops led by Anastasia Vladimirovna Kolmogorova, Doctor of Philology and Professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (St. Petersburg). She is a leading Russian specialist in applied linguistics and digital humanities research.

On September 24, the Shanghai University of Kuala Lumpur hosted the International Scientific and Practical Seminar "Artificial Intelligence in Linguistics and Lingvodidactics," bringing together scientists from Kazakhstan, Russia, and Uzbekistan.

The topic of the seminar and lecture course was not chosen by chance. Today, artificial intelligence is no longer just an abstract scientific concept – it is being actively integrated into everyday practices, including language teaching and learning.

AI is changing approaches to linguistic research, text analysis, teaching methods, and interaction with big data. These topics were central to Professor A.V. Kolmogorova's presentations.

YKU Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, PhD in Physics and Mathematics, Yernar Imangalievich Imangaliev, opened the seminar by emphasizing the strategic importance of artificial intelligence not only for science but for the country as a whole. In his speech, he noted: "AI is no longer just a trend. It is becoming the core of intellectual and educational processes. At our university, we are already integrating computer vision, neural network, and digital analytics technologies into education and research."

Professor A.V. Kolmogorova's engaging and informative lecture series became a true learning experience for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty.

Over the course, participants received an introduction to applied and computational linguistics, from its origins to contemporary tasks and challenges. The lectures focused on research practices and real-world projects being implemented at the HSE Language Convergence Laboratory. Participants worked with the Russian National Corpus, mastering AI-powered text analysis tools. The lectures also focused on sentiment analysis, where participants compared dictionary-based, neural network-based, and LLM approaches to working with linguistic data.

Each day and each lesson combined theoretical depth and practical value. It was important not only to learn about modern tools but also to try them out in action, expanding my knowledge of how AI can be used not only as a "modern assistant" but also to understand the potential of these technologies in scientific and educational settings.

On September 24, the international seminar "AI in Linguistics and Language-Didactics" was held. The seminar served as a platform for lively dialogue between scholars from different countries, demonstrating their interest and willingness to openly discuss changes affecting not only one country but all developing countries and educational institutions.

The seminar featured presentations and discussions on the following topics:

"Language Technologies as a Key Tool for the Modern Linguist" – Anastasia Vladimirovna Kolmogorova, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, Head of the Convergence Languages ​​Laboratory at HSE-St. Petersburg, and Academic Director of the Master's Program "Language Technologies in Business and Education" (St. Petersburg, Russia).

"Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis of Museum Reviews Using

Large Language Models" – Elizaveta Romanovna Kulikova, Junior Research Fellow, Language Convergence Laboratory, HSE St. Petersburg, Russia.

"Artificial Intelligence and Training of Technical Specialists" by Aziza Dzhaksinovna Paizbekova, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and Social Sciences and Humanities at the Almalyk Branch of NUST MISIS (Almalyk, Uzbekistan).

This seminar provided an excellent platform for constructive academic dialogue and allowed us to identify regional growth areas in the digital humanities.

Special thanks go to Professor Anastasia Vladimirovna Kolmogorova for her insightful, informative, and inspiring lectures, attentive attitude toward the audience, and generous desire to share her knowledge.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our university, M. Auezov South Kazakhstan University, for inviting a scholar from a university that is a leader in conducting breakthrough research in linguistics and digital humanities. We would also like to thank the Department of Russian Language and Literature at South Kazakhstan University, represented by its Head, Sandugash Erkinbekovna Kaldygozova, and Associate Professor, Maigul Tulegenovna Shakenova, for inviting a foreign scholar to our university and organizing this academic event.

The lectures and seminar were more than just a series of events, but a step into the future—toward new approaches in education, interdisciplinary research, and international collaboration. This could ultimately impact the production of intelligent and adaptable young professionals who will be in demand in the labor market over the next 10 years.

The seminar participants not only broadened their horizons and knowledge, but also saw how technology can work for the humanities, enhancing their capabilities and opening up entirely new horizons.

These events are just the beginning. And, as many participants noted, they became an important milestone in their professional development, as well as inspiration for new research, collaborative projects, and, perhaps, new educational programs at the intersection of AI and the humanities.
Auezov South Kazakhstan University has once again confirmed its status as a research university, ready to be not only a participant but also a leader in the scientific and technological transformation of modern education.

Thank you to everyone who was part of this event. Let's continue to move forward – together.

 

Today, September 23, we had a lecture by Doctor of Philological Sciences Anastasia Vladimirovna Kolmogorova. The topic was quite unusual: "Digital Study of Writer Style: Working with the Stylo Package." Participants not only learned the theoretical foundations of stylometry but also got a hands-on experience exploring authorial style using digital tools. What they particularly enjoyed was the accompanying visual examples and beautiful visualizations: the writer's style was literally transformed into numbers, diagrams, and graphs. It was wonderful to understand how digital technologies expand the capabilities of philologists.

The lecture atmosphere was very lively: we asked questions, discussed examples, and tried to understand the tools together with the instructor. It was clear that Anastasia Vladimirovna has a knack for explaining complex concepts in simple terms and captivating even those who had never heard of stylometry before.

For us students, this meeting was a valuable experience. We saw that philology today is not only about classic books and traditional analysis, but also about new methods that allow us to take a fresh look at writers' works.
