Department of Foreign Languages and Intercultural Communication

About the department

Mission of the Department of Foreign Languages and Intercultural Communication is to train globally competitive professionals fluent in two foreign languages and are highly demanded in a multicultural professional environment.

The Department of Foreign Languages and Intercultural Communication aims to create an English-speaking educational environment that will most effectively contribute to the development and improvement of foreign-language professional communication and intercultural competences among students at the three levels of higher education.

The English-language learning environment is an artificially created environment, both inside and outside the classroom, where students communicate in English.

The methodology of language training, implemented by the Department’s faculty, is Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) which is a bidirectional competency-based approach: the approach promotes learning of curricular content in tandem with a foreign language. The significant potential of the achieved goal is:

  • To improve the quality of teaching of foreign languages;
  • To strengthen the human resource capacity of the Department;
  • To invite leading foreign scholars and native speakers to teach courses in a foreign language;
  • To implement the Visiting Professor Program;
  • To involve faculty in developing educational and methodological materials.
