Instruction is provided in Kazakh, while professional terminology related to English language teaching is introduced in English.

The programme covers key areas of modern English language teaching methodology, including lesson planning and lesson structure, teaching grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, developing Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing skills, organizing learner interaction, classroom management, error correction, feedback, and professional reflection.

The course comprises 80 academic hours and is delivered fully online in a self-paced format through the Astana Bilim Academy LMS platform. Participants receive access to video lessons, learning materials, additional resources, and module mini-tests. There are no Zoom sessions, which allows participants to study at a time and pace that is convenient for them.
