This study examines how podcasts can help students become more independent and self-confident in learning a language. Podcasts, thanks to their accessibility and engaging content, allow students to experience the language at an authentic level, allowing them to practice at their own pace. This study examines the experiences of university students who have used podcasts to learn a foreign language, focusing on how this tool helps develop independence and improve language skills. The study used various surveys and interviews to obtain information from students with different levels of language proficiency. The results show that podcasts motivate students and give them the freedom to choose materials that match their interests and skill levels. Many students reported feeling better in the learning process and included podcasts in their programs to practice listening and expand their vocabulary. In addition, podcasts allowed you to get acquainted with different accents, the real use of language, and cultural nuances, which made the learning process more dynamic and accessible. To get the most out of podcasts, students used strategies such as setting personal goals, taking notes while listening, and participating in follow- up activities such as discussions or vocabulary exercises. However, some difficulties were noted, such as maintaining consistency and understanding complex content without additional support. These results suggest that while podcasts are useful, students may benefit from initial guidance on how to effectively integrate them into their curricula. The study concludes that podcasts are a powerful tool that promotes independent learning of foreign languages. They allow students to monitor their progress and offer a flexible way to practice outside the classroom. Teachers are encouraged to support students by recommending podcast resources, teaching self-regulation techniques, and including reflective classes to track growth.</em></p> Ardak Akhmet Aygul Spatay Baurzhan Spatayev Copyright (c) 2025 BULLETIN OF ZHETYSU UNIVERSITY NAMED AFTER I.ZHANSUGUROV 2025-06-26 2025-06-26 2(115) 7 14 10.53355/ZHU.2025.115.2.001 DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES OF STUDENTS IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE THROUGH INTERACTIVE METHODS https://journal.zhetysu.edu.kz/index.php/home/article/view/392 <p><em>This article deals with the effectiveness of interactive teaching methods in the development of professionally oriented foreign language competence among university students preparing for careers in education.

Fortified sugar as a food product containing vitamins, microelements and other biologically </em><em>active substances helps to improve public health and expand the market for functional foods. In addition to production efficiency, this technology also has great potential for use in the educational and cognitive process. From an educational point of view, introducing specific production technologies into the content of training helps develop students' ability to think scientifically, be independent, and develop skills for analyzing and interpreting. Similarities and differences in the methodologies found in the studies, their advantages and limitations were analyzed in relation to each other. In addition, specific ways and experimental models for implementing the relationship between technology and pedagogy are characterized. The concept of research competence is analyzed on the theoretical basis of developing students' inclination to scientific activity. The results of the review will serve as the basis for the assumption that introducing fortified sugar production into the educational process will increase students' research activity and improve their professional and competence level. At the same time, in this direction, incomplete formation of scientific models and methods of assessing competencies has been revealed. This study can strengthen the connection between education and production and contribute to enriching the content of practical training.</em></p> Aidynbek Kemelbekuly Berikzhan Oksikbaev Copyright (c) 2025 BULLETIN OF ZHETYSU UNIVERSITY NAMED AFTER I.ZHANSUGUROV 2025-06-26 2025-06-26 2(115) 163 171 10.53355/ZHU.2025.115.2.019
