Summary

Introduction

One of the most important aspects of the economic and social modernization of society in Kazakhstan is the language policy. In this regard, there is no doubt about the relevance of the multilingual education concept, which is the result of the state national and linguistic educational policy reflected in the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan, multilingual education aimed at the integration and internationalization of Kazakhstan into the world educational and scientific communities is rapidly developing. Due to the global reach of multilingualism in the social life of people and its close connection with the cognitive development of a person, the issue of effective foreign language learning is being discussed in priority scientific social areas such as applied linguistics, education and psychology, psycholinguistics and educational psychology (Lin & Lei, 2020)
