	abstract = {The aim of the present research is to identify whether teachers{\textquoteright} attitudes towards the use of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in the Republic of Kazakhstan can undergo significant changes if they study a course introducing them to the fundamentals of CLIL. Despite the country{\textquoteright}s plans to adopt English as one of the languages of education, stakeholders{\textquoteright} attitudes towards teaching through the medium of this language remain rather skeptical. A survey was held among Master{\textquoteright}s degree students majoring in Education (n = 59) at Pavlodar State University before the course and after its completion. Since it is the affective component that largely determines the quality of attitudes, the levels of participants{\textquoteright} anxiety, self-esteem and motivation were used as the indicators. The tools for measuring these variables were the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Dembo-Rubinstein{\textquoteright}s Method of Self-esteem Measurement and Dubovitskaya{\textquoteright}s Diagnostics of Learning Motivation Orientation. The end-of-course results show a marked reduction in the level of participants{\textquoteright} state anxiety, a growth in self-esteem in terms of the readiness to use CLIL, and a shift towards intrinsic motivation. It is argued that for attitudes shift to take place, it is necessary to adopt a constructivist approach to teaching and learning.},
