Abstract

In the modern era of globalization, Kazakhstan's strategic priorities include preserving the national language and culture, as well as developing spiritual resilience and moral values among young people. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the importance of improving the quality of human capital and education based on spiritual values in his speech, emphasizing the need for the education system to produce not only professionals but also spiritually and morally mature individuals. At the crossroads of civilizations and growing cultural diversity, researching the impact of national language and cultural traditions on students' psychological well-being and academic performance is an extremely important topic.

This research aims to identify the impact of linguacultural language teaching and national traditions on students' psychological well-being and academic performance, drawing on contemporary empirical and theoretical studies published in international scientific databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, etc.).

The study analyzes the key concepts of social and cultural identity, acculturation, and multilingual education, as well as the benefits of positive psychology approaches in education. Current research shows that the preservation and development of the national language is an important factor in the formation of self-esteem, cultural identity, and psychological resilience in students. Furthermore, cultural identity has a positive impact on the successful adaptation of students to the socio-academic environment, especially in a multicultural educational environment.

The methodological basis of the work is a comparative analysis of international empirical studies, including meta-analyses, which show a significant positive correlation between students' psychological well-being and their academic performance. Furthermore, special attention is paid to the role of linguistic competence as a mediator between cultural identity and student academic performance, as well as the influence of the educational environment on the formation of a positive attitude toward learning.

The study's findings demonstrate that integrating national language and cultural traditions into the educational process effectively reduces psychological stress, increases motivation, and creates a comfortable academic environment, thereby improving students' psychological well-being and academic performance. In conclusion, the study confirms the need to develop language teaching strategies based on cultural heritage and national values as key factors in improving students' spiritual and psychological well-being, their personal development, and learning effectiveness.
