The first examinations in Russian as a foreign language on the elementary level program began November 1. In a course of the months, the students learned Russian letters, learned to read and write, communicate - at the so called “elementary”, or A2 level. Achieving the elementary level of proficiency in Russian allows a foreigner to communicate with native speakers in a minimal set of situations: in class, in the dean's office, in a shop, in a clinic, in a bank, in a cafe, at the ticket office, in a street, etc. The results of the current certification showed different results. There is still something to work on during the November holidays due to the new challenges coming up (Associate Professor Azitova Gulsina Sharipovna).
