For two years now Kazakhstan has been modernising its higher education. This modernisation aims at
increasing the academic and organisational autonomy of universities and their internationalisation.
Through these activities, Kazakhstan intends to bring the quality of education at universities closer to
the world level. More and more attention in the country is being paid to teaching English as the third
language next to Kazakh and Russian. This is also facilitated by the move from using the Cyrillic to the
Latin alphabet. These changes should positively influence the willingness to study in English,
especially in those areas where the language is widely spoken. Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) is one such area.
The paper presents the results of research on the readiness and willingness of students from
Kazakhstan to study ICT in English. The research was conducted in 2016, i.e. before the reforms of
education in Kazakhstan, and was repeated in 2019, after the changes. It was carried out with the use
of a survey method developed by the Lublin University of Technology, Lublin, Poland. Comparison of
research results allowed to indicate significant changes in the attitude of ICT students towards studies
in English. Although in 2019 more than twice as many students declared good and very good
knowledge of English as compared to 2016, the percentage of students who would not decide to study
in English increased almost as much. There have also been significant reassessments of the reasons
for the willingness to study in English and the expected benefits
