Abstract
Trilingual policy is actively pursued by authorities in Kazakhstan in response not only to
sociolinguistic and political factors but also economic factors. The main site for implementing the policy
is educational institutions (with an initial focus on the first stage of secondary schools). The overarching
purpose of this qualitative PhD study is to examine the debate on the issue of trilingual education in
Kazakhstan, to place that debate in a meaningful and useful context based on the international literature
related to educational language policy and to contribute to policy, research, and practice in this area
within the context of Kazakhstan.
