Akzholova Alina, a student of group FL-1-23, carried out her practice at Secondary School No. 24 in the same district. During their practice, both students organized and conducted open English lessons for schoolchildren.

The lessons were attended by Gulbara Zhoroeva, the students' teaching practice supervisor, and Aisalkyn Kerimberdieva, the lecturer responsible for coordinating the practice. They observed the student teachers' teaching methods, instructional approaches, and interaction with pupils.
