In AlmaU, retirees are taught English

On October 5, 2018 AlmaU launched “Kamkorlyk Aiy” (a month of care for retirees) together with Bostandyk district akimat of Almaty. This social event is aimed to teach English to retirees.

Every year on the first day of October, the whole world celebrates the Day of Older People. This holiday was established at the 45th session of UN General Assembly and is considered to be a public holiday in many countries. It is very symbolic that this holiday is celebrated in autumn. After all, old age, like autumn itself, is the golden time of life.

"Kamkorlyk aiy" social event is timed to this holiday. During October month, retirees will learn the alphabet, pronunciation and basic words in English language. Classes are conducted by a senior teacher of Language Center Gulmira Omarova. The 1-year students, Sherizat Aibala, Zhumadilova Zhanerke, Rakhimov Ibray and Alishpanov Temirlan, help her in organizing the lessons.
