How to encourage the study of the state language in Kyrgyzstan

In the Kyrgyz Republic, pursuant to Part 1 of Article 10 of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic is the state language of the Kyrgyz language. One of the first legal acts that reinforce the Kyrgyz as the state is the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On the State Language" of 23 September 1989. Then based on the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On the State Language" from 2004, a new policy on the introduction of the state language.

So, today, in the Kyrgyz Republic has 1,259 schools where the state language. At the moment, there is a tendency of transition of office work and life with the country's official language (Russian) to the Kyrgyz (official). However, this process is inconsistent and chaotic. Despite the number of state measures, the introduction of high-quality national language, there is a problem causes the poor development of the state language.

Emphasizes the importance of the problem according to the concept of national policy and consolidation of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Plan of Action of 2015, regulatory and legal documents will be translated into Kyrgyz. Therefore, language is crucial for pupils, students, teachers, civil servants, businessmen and other people.

What's all the same problem? - You ask. In our view, the problem here is not one. Their whole complex. Consider the main ones.

1. One of the main problems for country - is ineffective teaching methodology of the state language in kindergartens, schools and universities. The methodological basis for the teaching of the Kyrgyz language was developed in 1989. Enough said. 

2. The shortage of teachers with the skills to study the quality of the Kyrgyz language. We think, so here is clear. 

3. Low motivation for learning the official language in the society of those who do not speak it well. That is not mastered yet Kyrgyz can do. But will it always? 

4. Lack of formal accredited educational standard of knowledge of the Kyrgyz language. That is, there is no way to determine the level of knowledge of the Kyrgyz language.

Fundamental and crucial step to overcome the problem of view - the modernization of the methodology. Need to develop a common methodology of teaching that takes into account the error of the early methodologies with teachers and technologists, linguists, scientists, trainers and experts in the Kyrgyz language.

Particular attention is required to practice conversational than grammatical tasks. Need to develop the language standards for a variety of topics to the course participants could not understand how a conversation in different situations. Introduce training audio-visual materials for children and students of short animation and video for students of preschool age.

Thus, a new methodology for teaching Kyrgyz lay the foundation for common standards for teachers.

It should be noted that Kyrgyz citizens need to master the national language if they want to go up the ladder and be competitive professionals. That is, if a person wants to work in public service, to be a deputy minister, president or CEO, he needs to own up to the national language.
