WORKPLACE-BASED LEARNING: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE

WORKPLACE-BASED LEARNING: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE

On November 2, 2026, N.A. Zhumabekova, Senior Lecturer at the Department of English Language and Literature, Institute of Philology, B. Osmonov Jalal-Abad State University, visited Secondary School No. 9 named after R. Sanatbaev in Manas City. During the visit, she conducted a workplace-based learning session for fourth-year students majoring in Philological Education, specializing in Foreign (English) Language, who were undertaking their professional teaching practicum.

As part of the event, Jasmina Asilbekova, a student from group ChTk-2-23, conducted an open English lesson for 11th-grade students on the topic “Thousands of People Can Live Without Gold, but Nobody Can Live Without Water.”

During the lesson, the student effectively used various visual teaching aids, multimedia presentations, and engaging interactive games to increase learners’ interest and active participation. The lesson also included a discussion in English about the importance of water in human life, its essential role, and the need to protect natural resources.

The primary objective of workplace-based learning was to develop the professional competencies of future English language teachers, integrate theoretical knowledge with practical teaching experience, and provide opportunities for students to master modern teaching methods and techniques.

It is worth noting that the event successfully achieved its objectives and contributed to improving the student’s lesson delivery skills, fostering creativity, and enhancing her pedagogical competence.
