On the 26^th September 2014 to implement the proposals of  N. A. Nazarbaev, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan made ​​at the twenty-first session of the Assembly of Kazakhstan Nations about the further promotion of the Kazakh tolerance and harmony model, the round-table meeting was held in our university upon the theme "The language role in interethnic concord creation". The participants were Vilen Borisovich Molotov-Luchansky (the Vice-Rector for Academic and Educational Affairs), Temirgaliev Kudaibergen Abaevich (the head of the Department of History of Kazakhstan and social - political disciplines), E.Zh.Aubakirov, M.E.Temirbekova, N.A.Mingisheva (teachers) and O. N. Sorokina (senior lecturer of foreign languages department). Also the representatives of the Students self-governance Committee, the participants of the university debate club and the representatives of the Committee for Matters Concerning Young Persons of Karaganda universities participated in the meeting.

The unique cooperation and mutual enrichment experience of national cultures was developed in Kazakhstan. The Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan which is the unique institute of cultural and religious interaction was created. This Assembly got the opportunity to directly participate in the legislative activities of the Parliament of Kazakhstan Republic. The development of the language diversity of the state nationalities was always treated with the great care and attention in the Republic of Kazakhstan. His role in modern society development was always realized. This can be understood by examining one of the first adopted Acts in independent Kazakhstan "Languages ​​in the Republic of Kazakhstan" from 11.07.1997, which declares all the languages ​​of Kazakhstani people the national treasure, historical and cultural heritage of the country. The issues of languages development  ​​in Kazakhstan are constantly under the control and care of the President of Kazakhstan Republic N. A. Nazarbayev, who always tries to focus on the development of education, culture and languages in his annual state-of-the-nation address. In the Address of the President it is clearly stated: "The people will be wise in descendants upbringing by taking care of their health, education and world outlook. ... They will speak equally good Kazakh, Russian and English ... They will be the patriots of their country, known and respected all over the world."

The round table participants discussed this theme. The stormy debate was caused by the discussion of the multilingualism problem in our country. All the meeting participants actively shared their thoughts and opinions on the role of the three major languages ​​of the country: the Kazakh, Russian and English.

Ayan Suleymenov, who is the student of “Bolashak” university, actively argued against three languages usage. The audience was divided into two opinions: the supporters of Ayan’s position and the students who advocated three languages and didn't see any threat of the Kazakh language loss. The participants of the discussion club of our University of Kazakh league "Namys" advocated three languages in the country with strong conviction of the leading role of the Kazakh language. Every native speaker should set himself the task to promote the popularization of the state language.

The students of the university Students self-governance Committee and the students of Karaganda Economic University of Kazakhstan Consumers Association endorsed this view.

The guests from Karaganda State Technical University advanced the view that multilingualism is the requirement of the time for the successful development of Kazakhstan.

At the end of the roundtable the participants agreed that multilingualism is necessary since the knowledge of English opens the way for integration into the world economic community. The Kazakh language is the native language of the titular nation, the Russian language is the language of interethnic communication and the English language is the language of international and business communication. The threat of the native language loss because of multilingualism is unfounded.

The participants of the round-table meeting exchange their views and agreed to hold more meetings on topical issues.
