Аннотация

This study explores the use of newspapers as a pedagogical tool to teach Russian and English loanwords in Kazakh using the Newspapers in Education (NiE) framework. In the multilingual post-Soviet context of Kazakhstan, loanwords play a significant role in both academic and everyday discourse; however, structured teaching methods are still lacking. This study presents and evaluates a newspaper-based instructional model that helps students recognize, analyze, and contextualize loanwords in authentic texts. A mixed-methods design was used in three stages: framework development, a six-week intervention, and a post-course evaluation. Ninety third-year students of the Kazakh language and Literature program at Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University took part in the intervention, which involved analyzing newspapers from the Soviet times to the present day. Activities included group presentations using the Jamboard platform, semantic interpretation, and etymological analysis. A post-course Likert scale survey revealed strong student agreement with the value of the method and high internal reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.924). Participants reported increased vocabulary, sharpened critical thinking, and increased awareness of borrowings. The results demonstrate how effective newspaper-based learning is in promoting vocabulary development and intercultural literacy, providing useful information for curriculum developers and language teachers working in multilingual environments.
