In the educational process of teaching foreign languages, the lecturers at the Department of Theory and Practice of Teaching Foreign Languages combine native and foreign methods of teaching and education technologies, practice the individual approach in teacher training and language practice and research work.

The international cooperation agreements with foreign universities give our undergraduate students an opportunity of internship abroad to improve their foreign language skills and acquire new information in the field of education and linguistics.

The lecturers and professors of the Department take an active part in scientific research projects and present the results of their work at different international conferences and symposiums. They are also the members of many international organizations like “Europhras”, DAAD, Tempus, NATE.
