Foreign citizens — students of the training courses «Russian as a Foreign Language» have started their studies. The organizer is the department for the implementation of pre-university education and vocational guidance programs of the Institute for Advanced Studies and Retraining. The group, which will soon replenish with new students, comes from Cameroon, Togo and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The main content of this educational program will be an intensive study of the Russian language. As in previous years, it will be taught by S. V. Shakuro, an experienced teacher and author of a number of textbooks. A feature of the approach used in working with foreign students is to stimulate active communication both in the classroom and outside the university. The academic year that has begun will be filled not only with studies, but also with a variety of activities. Thus, listeners will have the opportunity to participate in traditional and well-proven «Winter» and «Summer» schools of the Russian language during the New Year and holidays, which combine excellent language practice and familiarization with the history and culture of Mogilev and Belarus.
