This study was undertaken to investigate the preferences of Kazakhstani teachers in the choice of methods for assessing student learning outcomes, as well as the factors influencing this choice. Taking into account the fact that competences in speech skills of English language proficiency in Kazakhstan model curricula are assessed on the basis of the criteria and descriptors recommended by CEFR for each individual level, nevertheless, in their practice, not everyone uses the general concept of recommended assessment. The study showed that teachers’ perception of the new assessment system cannot change overnight, nor can they do it independently, they need support in such as training, exchange of experience and methodological recommendations.

How do we square persistent nuclear pasts with what appears to be a radiant atomic future? How has Kazakhstan apparently disentangled itself from a Cold War legacy of contaminated land and radiation-related pathologies to move on? Cleaning up, after all, can indicate both remediation of contamination – and simply cashing in. Is the reconfiguration of the relationship between town and test site, ‘just’ another example of a post-industrial town re-inventing itself and, literally in this case, putting itself on the map – or is there something specific or exceptional about nuclear work, legacies, townships and people? As I explore here, there are sometimes insurmountable tensions in the state-building exercises of securing both a particular version of the nuclear past on Kazakh land, and nuclear futures as a distinctively Kazakh enterprise. These in turn affect the ability of the town of Kurchatov to reconfigure its relationship with the Semipalatinsk polygon and move forwards.

The article discusses the role of universities in the formation of entrepreneurial skills of students for their active participation in the innovative development of society.

The article is devoted to philosophical, legal and ethical issues of modern reproductive medicine in France and Western European countries. The study is based on analysis of medical records for 1980-1990-s years, during the introduction of new methods of reproductive health care in the hospitals of France, and on the basis of patient surveys conducted by the author in 2008-2013 infertility Problem puts at risk both men and women, but women pay for birth a higher price. Surgical operations are mainly performed by women (in vitro fertilization). The question of the right of a third party to parenthood is raised, based on the fact that sperm donors, egg donors and surrogate mothers are part of the reproductive system and have the right to communicate with the child. The author notes social inequality as a serious factor of women's vulnerability during IVF: female managers start the process of in vitro fertilization after 30 years, while three-quarters of working women - before 30 years.

Openness in the education system as a prerequisite for building a democratic societyThe concept of openness is viewed in a metacognitive context based on an analysis of philosophical and psychological works, and its semantic nature is summarized through empirical reasoning. Openness based on the study of regulatory documents, including state mandatory and anti-corruption standards, is generalized as a necessary condition for building a democratic society. The directions and principles of the methodological and theoretical basis for studying the concept of "openness" reflect the possibilities of studying this concept as a property, quality of the subject, and the activity of interaction with society. Attention is drawn to the fact that the principle of openness in the education system is used as a means of changing the external form, as a spontaneous factor of organization and verification without methodological justification. Without the activity of the internal motive, the external position is not enough to change consciousness, because the principle of openness is focused on the openness of consciousness.
