Phraseological units represent one of the most essential components of linguistic communication, and without the ability to use them appropriately, it is impossible to ensure a high level of speech culture. This study addresses the issue of developing a bilingual personality through the enhancement of speech expressiveness based on phraseological units. It provided a scientific rationale and developed a methodology for the formation of a bilingual personality by fostering expressive speech skills through the use of Kazakh phraseological units. This study was based on the implementation of an elective course that included a system of exercises designed to teach phraseological units in the context of textual activity. The instructional process was built upon a cognitive-communicative approach, incorporating anthropocentric, axiological, and cross-cultural methods of analysis. The study was conducted among middle school students in Kazakh-language schools operating in bilingual environments. The selection of phraseological material was guided by criteria of semantic relevance, cultural markedness, and situational appropriateness. The findings include a classification of phraseological units based on their functional-semantic and stylistic features; preparing a set of tasks and exercises to foster expressive speech; and finding effective means of teaching speech expressiveness through phraseology in the context of developing a bilingual personality. The study recommends integrating a phraseological component into school textbooks and curricula as a means of developing expressive speech; supplementing instruction with contrastive analysis of Kazakh and Russian phraseological units; expanding experimental research to include other language pairs; and using multimodal psychotechnical exercises to deepen students' perceptual and speech awareness.
