The article deals with the specifics of teaching Kazakh language to Russian-speaking technical students at Karaganda State Technical University, Kazakhstan, in the light of the nationwide trilingualism policies. The paper explains ineffectiveness of the traditional grammar-translation method used today in many educational institutions. It  has been hypothesized that Kazakh language teachers should use the  Communicative language teaching (CLT) methodology, which is rather popular in the West and widely used for teaching foreign languages, in particular English, with its adaptation for Kazakhstan’s conditions. The study  gives a model of a communication-based lesson and proves its effectiveness  in teaching Kazakh language to Russian-speaking students as well as  suggests the possibility of its widespread implementation for training adult population in Kazakhstan.

Fluency-first approaches such as Communicative Language Teaching and Task-based Language Teaching aim at the development of communicative competence in students by engaging them in meaningful interaction. Ability to speak accurate, appropriate and effective English is vital for meaningful interaction that ensures students' communicative competence in English. Unfortunately, in the Nepalese context, especially in government-aided schools and constituent colleges of Tribhuvan University (TU), speaking skill lies on the periphery of English Language Teaching (ELT) owing to several factors. This article attempts to explore those factors that have been a hindrance in developing speaking skill in Nepalese students in general and the students from the above-mentioned institutions in particular. This article draws on the author's experience as a supervisor of student teachers from B.Ed. and M.Ed. programmes and his teaching experience at a constituent campus of TU. Moreover, the article presents some suggestions that can help English teachers to overcome the hindrances.Key words: Speaking skill; Interaction; Teacher-fronted teaching; Learner-centered activitiesJournal of NELTA Vol. 15 No. 1-2 December 2010Page: 1-9Uploaded date: 3 May, 2011DOI: 10.3126/nelta.v15i1-2.4602
