<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">Linguistic diversity, particularly within a STEM&nbsp;programme, is increasingly a&nbsp;desired competency in high schools world-wide. The way in which teachers enact&nbsp;multilingualism in their classrooms is dependent on historical and current,&nbsp;cultural and ideological influences operating within each context. Research suggests&nbsp;there is a knowledge gap concerning how teachers manage integrated,&nbsp;multilingual programmes and how these programmes impact on the teaching and&nbsp;learning processes. What constitutes best practice is uncertain. In Qazaqstan&nbsp;many ambiguities persist about how to scale such a programme country wide&nbsp;(Bridges, 2014) and questions are raised about how to train and prepare future&nbsp;teachers for implementing the trilingual education curricula. The success of&nbsp;such an ambitious programme lies with those tasked with its implementation.&nbsp;The methodology teachers use is known as Content and Language Integrated&nbsp;Learning (CLIL). This paper comments on how such a multilingual programme&nbsp;policy has been transferred into practice within the context of a high school&nbsp;in Qazaqstan, and comments on what is working in terms of the teaching&nbsp;processes as well as highlighting some of the barriers teachers face. By means&nbsp;of a case study, using a mixed methods format, the author finds that&nbsp;multilingualism in the Science classroom has revealed some positive outcomes in&nbsp;terms of raising teachers’ self-efficacy. However, delivery of content to&nbsp;optimise student learning is dependent on the linguistic skill of the teacher,&nbsp;this requires more careful planning in order to ensure programme sustainability.&nbsp;</span></p>
