"School-University: the time of choice": The results of the vocational guided Olympiad on the Russian language and literature were summed up.

In the framework of the Methodological week "School-University: the time of choice" held at the philological faculty (Dean Zharkynbekova Sh.K.), the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (Head of the Department Zhuravleva E.A.) and the Department of Russian Philology (Head of the Department Nurgali K.R.) on February 1, 2018, a vocational guided Olympiad on Russian language and literature among graduates of schools in Astana was held.

The departments carried out a lot of preparatory work, the organizers aimed to move away from the traditional forms of holding the Olympiads and make it more attractive and interesting for modern schoolchildren, to reveal their creativity and ability to work in a team.  And it was succeeded!

          Information about the Olympiad in L.N. Gumilyov ENU received a very good response in the educational institutions of the city.  More than 50 applications were received from 43 schools. 144 graduates of schools with Russian and Kazakh language of instruction, who made 48 teams, participated in the competition.  The teams from the school-gymnasiums No. 5, 6, 7, 10, 22, 30, 31, 46, 47, 51, 52, 63, 71, 78, 79 were sent to the Olympiad;  school-lyceums No. 1, 38, 48, 50, 59, 64, 66, 70, 76;  secondary schools No. 13, 16, 19, 27, 28, 29, 37, 40, 49, 55, 65, 69, 83, as well as specialized school No. 9 for gifted children “Zerde”, boarding school "Bilim-innovation" for gifted girls, etc.

         The event began with a grand opening, at which the Dean of the Philological Faculty Sh.K. Zharkynbekova, Head of the Center for vocational guidance and testing M.S. Aralkhanov, Head of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics E.A. Zhuravleva greeted the students and teachers with welcome words. 

It was noted that the main task of the Olympiad is to increase the interest of schoolchildren in the profession of a philologist, as well as to reveal the level of their preparation in literature and the Russian language.  In addition, this event creates conditions for the activation of contacts between the university and the school.  This event also contributes to the improvement of the educational activity of schoolchildren and the raising of standards in the teaching of the Russian language and literature, the education of genuinely educated people in the conditions of the modern Eurasian world.  Schoolchildren, taking part in the Olympiad, have the opportunity to show their abilities, show their achievements, and teachers can see in competitive conditions the quality of training in the schools of Astana.

       After the farewell speech, the schoolchildren went to the audience to take part in the fascinating and informative contest of modern Russian connoisseurs. The Olympiad was held in the form of a linguistic and literary quest, during which each team traveled between "stations".  Each of them represented a certain direction in the study of the Russian language and literature. All in all there were six "stations": "Phonetics and spelling", "Vocabulary and phraseology", "Morphology", "Syntax", "Prose" and "Poetry and drama".  The schoolchildren were presented with fascinating assignments aimed at both revealing the knowledge of Russian language and literature and their wit.

          Passage of each stage caused the team’s members not only great interest, but also made think, if they could not answer some questions. And what delight was expressed when the teams received the highest score! The peculiarity of the Olympiad was that schoolchildren saw their result immediately after passing through each stage of the competition and after completing all the steps they could independently calculate the scores received.
