Autobiography

I was born on February 7, 1982, in the city of Kyzylorda. I graduated with honors from Secondary School No. 187, where I actively participated in school social activities. In 1998, I entered the Kyzylorda Pedagogical College named after M. Mametova, majoring in “Primary School Teaching,” and graduated with honors in 2001. In 2002, I was admitted to Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, majoring in Linguistics. As a student, I took part in numerous conferences and was actively involved in student life. In 2006, I graduated and entered the Master’s program at the same university in “Translation Studies,” which I successfully completed with honors in 2008. In 2009, I began doctoral studies in “Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, and Bilingualism.” During my studies, I completed two research internships at Otto von Guericke University (Germany, Magdeburg, 2010 and 2011). Several of my academic articles were published. In 2010, I also completed an internship at Moscow State Linguistic University (Russia). In 2014, I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation on the topic “Cross-Cultural Penetration of Gastronomic Vocabulary”. Since 2012, I have been working as a lecturer at the department.
