Foreign Guest at KAFU: Douglas Mooney Shared His Experience in Teaching English

On February 14, 2025, Douglas Mooney, an expert of the English Language Fellow program (USA) and an English teacher with many years of experience, visited the Kazakh-American Free University.

As part of the visit, the guest held a series of lectures and master classes for students and teachers of KAFU. Particular attention was paid to modern methods of teaching English. Among the topics that aroused the greatest interest were the use of American music in teaching, academic honesty, methods for checking understanding of concepts and instructions, as well as the role of mobile devices in the educational process.

The students noted that each master class was filled with relevant examples and useful recommendations that can be applied in practice. The teachers also highly appreciated the innovative methods and his professionalism.

We express our sincere gratitude to Douglas Mooney for his visit, productive work and valuable exchange of experience. These meetings provided an excellent opportunity to expand knowledge and strengthen international cooperation.
