Modern society is undergoing global economic, political and social changes, which have led to a reassessment of the content of higher education. One of the main directions of reforms is the comprehensive modernization of the educational system around the world and in Kazakhstan, in particular. Special requirements are imposed on the quality of higher education as the basis for scientific and technological progress, social dynamics and sustainable development. Internationalization and globalization dictate their conditions, require the expansion of international cooperation and integration into the world educational space. Every year the contingent of international students is increasing, double-degree educational programs are expanding, and the academic mobility of students and faculty are developing. It was primarily facilitated by the accession of Kazakhstan to the Bologna process [1]. Thus, incoming mobility provides for an increase in the contingent of international students, for example, in the Strategic Development Plan of the Abai University, it is planned to increase the number of foreign applicants to 5% in 2025 [2]. The creation of a Central Asian educational hub in Kazakhstan, the annual educational exhibitions «Days of Kazakhstani Education» in Central Asian countries, will increase the number of international students, joint double-degree educational programs and academic exchange programs. Strategies for the development of modern educational technologies imply the development of skills of independent learning, and critical thinking throughout life, interaction at different levels. In the 2019-2020 academic year, the contingent of international students amounted to 406 people from 18 countries of the world (Figure 1) [3].
