Student's life

Fact-finding camp «Summer/Winter Camp»

The cam­pus is a town with its full inf­ras­truc­tu­re. It pro­vides stu­dents with full lan­gu­age dip­ping and com­mu­nica­ti­on un­der con­di­ti­ons of re­al tra­ining in the last co­ur­se, and al­so adap­ta­ti­on to the li­fe at the cho­sen uni­ver­si­ty in at­mosp­he­re of re­lati­ve sa­fety. Spen­ding sum­mer and win­ter va­cati­ons in Ame­rica is one of the tra­diti­ons of КАU.

The first «Sum­mer/Win­ter Camp» trip from New York up to the Ni­aga­ra Falls was or­ga­nized in 1998. This prog­ram inc­lu­ded such uni­ver­si­ti­es as Eas­tern Con­necti­cut Sta­te Uni­ver­si­ty, Edin­bo­ro Uni­ver­si­ty of Penn­syl­va­nia, Wil­kes Uni­ver­si­ty, and Pa­ce Uni­ver­si­ty. Each of the­se uni­ver­si­ti­es has de­velo­ped an in­te­res­ting ori­en­ta­ti­on prog­ram with its fa­cul­ti­es and vi­cini­ti­es. For examp­le, in Edin­bo­ro Uni­ver­si­ty of Penn­syl­va­nia stu­dents ha­ve vi­sited the Ni­aga­ra Falls and the well-known ci­ty of Buf­fa­lo. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives of Pa­ce Uni­ver­si­ty ha­ve or­ga­nized an in­te­res­ting ro­und­trip abo­ut the ci­ty of New York, as the ma­in bu­il­ding of uni­ver­si­ty is si­tu­ated in the cen­ter of this lar­gest ci­ty of the world. The ma­jori­ty of stu­dents has most of all li­ked Eas­tern Con­necti­cut Sta­te Uni­ver­si­ty with its co­sy cam­pu­ses and a hos­pi­tab­le me­eting.

The Ka­zakh-Ame­rican Uni­ver­si­ty gi­ves stu­dents a uni­que op­portu­nity to par­ti­cipa­te in «Sum­mer/Win­ter Camp» prog­ram which al­lows them not on­ly clo­se ac­qua­in­tance with Ame­rican pe­op­le, the­ir cul­tu­re and way of li­fe, but al­so a vi­sit to num­ber of uni­ver­si­ti­es-part­ners of KAU with the pur­po­se of ac­qua­in­tance with its cur­ri­culums, cam­pu­ses and con­di­ti­ons of tra­ining. The prog­ram lasts for a month du­ring which the gro­up of stu­dents from the Ka­zakh-Ame­rican Uni­ver­si­ty vi­sits a num­ber of uni­ver­si­ti­es on well tho­ught-out and app­ro­ved ro­ute. Vi­siting the well- known and sig­ni­ficant pla­ces of in­te­rest by a gre­at num­ber of to­urists eve­ry year is al­so inc­lu­ded in tra­vel. The prog­ram inc­lu­des in­tensi­ve co­ur­ses of Eng­lish lan­gu­age by me­ans of stu­dy­ing the Ame­rican his­to­ry and the va­ri­ous tra­inings di­rec­ted on per­fecti­on of stu­dents lan­gu­age skills. In 2006 KAU has or­ga­nized a trip to the is­lands of Mal­ta for a gro­up of stu­dents in or­der to stu­dy the Eng­lish lan­gu­age. Du­ring the­ir trip stu­dents not on­ly stu­di­ed and prac­ti­ced Eng­lish lan­gu­age, but al­so got ad­qua­in­ted with the sigh­tse­eing of the is­lands. Af­ter the comp­le­ti­on of the co­ur­ses stu­dents re­ce­ived the cer­ti­fy­ing cer­ti­fica­tes.

In the sum­mer of 2007 stu­dents we­re of­fe­red a trip to Gre­at Bri­ta­in to stu­dy the Eng­lish lan­gu­age and to rest on Euro­ro­und (Spa­in, Ita­ly, Fran­ce, Mo­naco) un­der "Sum­mer Camp” Prog­ram.
