This article is devoted to the study of the problem of accustoming the schoolchildren's personality to polylinguistics in the system of compulsory secondary education. In the article, multilingualism is seen as an effective tool for the formation of personality. The possibilities of facultative classes in the formation of a multilingual personality, the conditions for the organization of elective classes, on the basis of electivity contributing to the satisfaction of students' interests and requests, which allow each schoolchild to show their abilities, are revealed, the didactic conditions for the organization of interpersonal relationships among schoolchildren are revealed. The program of the elective course «The World of Multilingualism» is proposed, consisting of 8 sections. The goal, tasks, stages, content of this program and as an expected result are revealed in detail, the formation of a multilingual personality that is achieved through the fulfillment of tasks in three languages (native (Kazakh) language, Russian as a language of interethnic communication and English as a means of becoming familiar with the world culture), united in one language unit. The effectiveness of the fulfillment of these tasks by schoolchildren who enter the process of multilingual communication is shown, they assimilate lexical, grammatical, stylistic norms of speech, have the opportunity to compare the features of the use of language in speech. The samples of tasks from the program, the algorithm for their implementation are given, special attention is paid to assignments for comparison, creative assignments, recommendations were developed to involve students in multilingualism in the course of extracurricular work.
Today, the school's activity in formation of a new knowledge-based person is increasing. Recently, the educational objectives facing the schools have a characteristic effect on the extracurricular activities content. Because the comprehensive growth of a student is not limited to the time spent at school only. In addition, extracurricular activities can be used as a tool to enhancing and extending the educational work that the teacher performs during the lesson; and, first of all, to more fully exploit talent and abilities of children, to stirring their interest and enthusiasm. That is the form of organizing of leisure time of students and organizing their moral behavior exercises.
Extracurricular workshops are organized and conducted lessons aiming to extend and deepen students' knowledge, skills and abilities beyond the classroom, to develop independence, personal abilities, also in order to satisfy students interests and provide spending their leisure time actively and consciously out of school [1].
Nonetheless, extracurricular activities are an independent kind of school-based educational work, organized under the guidance of school teachers and interconnected with the purpose of teaching by creating conditions to social formation.
At the same time, educating and upbringing schoolchildren being to live flexible in the intensive developing and changing society, able to self-education, to apply the knowledge gained in life situations, to selffulfillment, competitive and competent in multilingualism task of forming a personality. As a result, programs of general education, textbooks, methodological manuals, textbooks written in a new national base, methodological techniques and training students for multilingualism require new approaches to extracurricular activities.
However, elective courses are recognized as the most contributing factor among pupils' out-of-class works. Because they contribute to the development of students' thinking, the formation of an active cognitive interest in the subject, and influences on increasing the growth of relationships among youth.
Elective courses are a form of organizing of extracurricular activities for the purpose of deepening and development of pupils' knowledge in specific subjects according to their needs, abilities, and inquiry.
The elective course or the optional lesson (the term «facultatif» French, means «opportunity») is not a compulsory course at a school or university where students or schoolchildren choose [2].
Elective courses are conducted through special programs that ensure compliance between mandatory classes and supplementary sessions. In approving mentioned list of elected courses should be taken into account not only the personal preferences of pupils and parents, but also the capabilities of the educational institution.
Controlling over the organization of the elective courses requires: the feasibility of choosing a lesson form and the effectiveness of the lesson; and activeness of pupils during classes; to be independent and able to show own creativity, express own opinion, opportunity to express their suggests.
The teacher will be able to communicate with students outside the classroom and, in many cases, to study the children and gather information about them.
Elective courses that are organized outside of school offer a great opportunity for children to work independently. Co-ordination is featured with self-governance and individual development [3].
However, one of the disadvantages at school practice is a habit of engaging only active students in extracurricular activities. Involving all children in an interesting course contributes to their academic progress, increased knowledge quality, and incentives to engage in collective activities.
As an effective way of forming a polylingual personality of schoolchildren, we believe that the elective course that students choose at their own discretion, and elective course as the way to enriching the multilingualism is implemented at school.
Due to this, «Multilingualism world» elective course aiming at training schoolchildren to polylingualism was worked out.
The aim of the course: formation of poly-lingual personality based on daily communicative activities within the interrelation of students.
The objectives of the course: selecting thematic minimum unities to mastering Kazakh, Russian and English languages; making speaking unities according to each theme; compiling situational minimum unities concerning to each theme; selecting lexical materials in the functional-content field; selecting grammar materials necessary for each topic; organizing teaching process corresponding to functional-communicative technology; and analyzing teaching results by controlling.
Expected results: students will be able to speak fluently in Kazakh, Russian and English languages within language unities in topics of interrelation between themselves; and their formation as a multilingual person.
The following is the program of «Multilingualism world» elective course for students of the 8th grade.

In teaching elective lessons the main aim is communicative knowledge, competence, and habits development on the basis of the language support.
Mentioned program was carried out during the experimental work at school's teaching process. Also, students were able to find solutions and learnt to overcome some issues concerning to questions based on mastered knowledge while doing tasks or any educational questions. Tackling with such kind of tasks, sharpens and develops thinking skills of students, provides development of competency. During the process of implementing speaking tasks, students master lexical, grammar and stylistic norms, compare speeches, expressing opinion challenge and aims, in this regard, includes acquired knowledge into interrelation activities.
Choosing arguments to offered thesis statements of a teacher.
The essence of the given thesis statement's confirmation is indicated by teacher's exact examples relied upon literature. For example. According to the theme: «A language is a great treasury» («Язык — oгpoмнoe бoгaтcтвo», «Тіл — ұлы қaзынa») To keep and develop our language is our saint obligation. To explain an idea definitely by the help of language and express it by intonation is called a sentence. /Тілімізді caқтaп, дaмытy — бəpіміздің қacиeтті міндeтіміз. Тілдің біpшaмa тиянaқты oйды білдіpyі жəнe интoнaциямeн aйтылyын cөйлeм дeйміз. / Coхpaнить и paзвивaть язык – cвящeнный дoлг кaждoгo.

During task completion students prove the correctness or incorrectness of the thesis content structure. At the end, make the structure of own (concerns the speech sturucture) thoughts.
Alongside with it, we suggested tasks that needs to argument the substance (correctness) of speech tools or chosen tasks during the experimental work.
The goal of such tasks gives opportunity to choose language tools for expressing student's views. It has been discovered that by analyzing grammar structure of the text, students started to pay attention to the grammar composition and speech creation of the mother tongue.
At the next stage of the experimental work, students were able to complete language tools choosing. The main idea of this task is comparing. Students while completing the task had compared several thoughts between themselves, and were able to choose language tools. Here, while expressing only one thought can be used different language means and different structuring opportunities to master them. Speech tasks are divided into 2 groups according to language means. For example, about choosing variants by topic: «National traditions of Kazakh people», «Қaзaқ хaлқының ұлттық caлт-дəcтүpлepі», «Нaциoнaльныe тpaдиции и oбычaи кaзaхcкoгo нapoдa».

During this period, tasks limiting opportunities of grammar structuring functions were not given. For instance, at the lesson «My school my golden nest»: from the school life to listen to «Students voice», opinion of students; and on topic «Pretty Shymkent» to compound research graphic The Great Silk Road.
In the next period editing text for speech tasks are planned. Teaching for work with a text, are directed within the norms. Here, students will be able to analyze a text in a group and to compound it correctly. We divide them into several types.
And, at the latest period students were offered creative tasks. Completing such types of tasks is oriented to exact self-directed, full language means compounding speech style and thoughts, corresponding to speech goal. According to self-directed degree creative tasks are divided into 3 groups:
- Creative tasks based upon working materials.
- Restructuring and develop texts according to expressing thoughts.
- Creative tasks of situational characteristics.
Completing tasks leading to creative works also practices students to do with interesting, translate fluently. For instance, the topic «Healthy life style»:
– What are the bad manners include?
– The harmfulness of bad manners to human life.
– How to handle with the difficulties.
– Writing an article about influences of bad manners to health.
We suggested restructuring texts according to changeability of students' opinions during completing creative kinds of tasks.
10 secrets of body and soul beauties:
First is in our mind.
Second is in breathing.
Third is in exercising.
Fourth is in healthy food.
Fifth is in smiling.
Sixth is in resting.
Seventh is in straight sitting.
Eights is in a clean environment.
Ninth is in trust.
Tenth is in loving.
These tasks are directed to experiments and coordinate individual work to group work. Students search for necessary information by themselves, by organizing obtained information and show to others. Project approach activates all sides of student's personality: intellectual quality, typological features and behavior characteristics, purposefulness, persistence, hardworking, communicative competency, feelings and emotions.
Results obtained through creative tasks are that students feel themselves freer than at the lessons, avoid stressful situations by learning practical techniques; nervous system are perpetuated and learn to organize leisure culture correctly; and developed poly-lingual abilities of students and achieve other positive changes.
By using goal-oriented project approach for agitating multilingualism can be built a specific relationship between teacher and student.
If we want several language acquisition process to be close to real situations with its basic parameters that are being of communicatively, we should build a real interpersonal relationship oriented using the language in practice.
This teaching process needs to consider as a specifically organized real relationship, and the function of this relationship is forming joined work between teacher and pupil, pupil and pupil.
This goal-oriented project alongside with communicativeness gave good results for mastering several languages. It is very effective where the classes of unequal preparation, particularly. These tasks help for learner's creative skills and thoughts to be developed.
During the formation experiment, while completing speech tasks using joined technology give to discover pupil's communicative competency. Because, these tasks can provide with necessities for developing knowability and communicative activities of each pupil at the class. That is, the main aim in language communication is teaching pupils to be able to speak and expressing opinions. Speaking is a process of expressing own opinion to others during language communication, to speak clearly. When teaching for speaking attention is given to the following notion: speaking of a human to a human by means of language, oral expression, saying and telling of thoughts to the second person.
Alongside with them, responding of second person through perceiving spoken understandable thought. This shows how the teaching to speaking is not concerns only to one person. It realizes through language communication. Speech activity is a significant step in learning and is not a language necessity only, but is a complicated activity displaying human's place and work in a society. ‘Cause speech activity is one of the main indications defining human's caliber. Teaching for oral speech is not just learning a language, it means to expansion and advance of human's general thinking skills. In order to master general speaking activity these conditions should be taken into account: the necessity to speak in a learning language; environment, effect of conditions, personal ability; and distinguishing the main goal of a speech.
Research duration while forming a poly-lingual personality at the teaching and educational process are ruled by communicative direction, building a specific space for group and corporate searching of each parties for truth, expressing point of view, approve own view, paying attention and understand alternative thoughts, accepting definite opinions during the dialogue; and secondly, organizing communicative space and thirdly, making technological position of organizing in communicative space: supporting positive emotional conditions of participants; and building interrelationship important for situational dilemmas; in defining roles of participants; dividing positions of participants in debate: the author, a critic, conductor and organizer; supplying activity with problematic type; helping to participants to admit the conflict of a situation and encouraging to thinking activity necessary for making solutions.
Thus, various didactic activities necessary for organizing and analyzing relationship between pupils noticed, they are, at first, factors for satisfying extra linguistic requirements of speaking style; carrying formal and informal relationship between pupils; and thirdly, terms for having relationship between each other as alone or majority in communication; at fourth, speech activity should be between relation of each other, announcing, influencing and etc,.
Speech tasks were effective one in implementing the connection between grammar works and development of speaking in language teaching among pupils. We understand speech tasks defining by a communicative object as a knowability tasks. During completing such kind of tasks doing any other type of knowability tasks pupils learnt to overcome and found out some issues by asked questions relying upon mastered knowledge.
To sum up, during experimental work the elective course «The world of languages» conducted at schools demonstrated positive indicators of formation communicative activity results. And, only in realizing development challenges of suggested methods for directing, participation and extending stages of youth to multilingualism; and pedagogical diagnosing, motivating to show communicative competency and influencing on it, the formation results effect will be improved.
