International scientific and methodological seminar at KhNAHU: "The newest pedagogical techniques in the language training ​​of foreign students"

Traditionally, in the end of February, the Department of Philology and Linguodidactics of KhNAHU held an International scientific and methodological seminar "The newest pedagogical techniques in the language training ​​of foreign students", dedicated to the most current methods used in language training today, which have become an effective toolin this area of studies. The format of the seminar – a series of workshops with the use of information technology – is significantly different from a regular scientific event, such as conferenceof applied sciences, because it aims not only (and not so much) to introduce participants to the theoretical aspects of linguistics. It is rather an opportunity to share the latest methodological developments in the field of foreign language teaching and to discuss what was seen in a friendly company of interested and motivated colleagues.

This year's seminar, which took place on February 20, 2020, was attended by representatives of the leading higher educational establishments of Kharkiv, Odessa, Poltava, Zaporizhzhya, Dnipro, Sumy, as well as participants from Belarus, Spain, Tunisia, the USA and the Russian Federation.

By the way, for those who were not able to attend the seminar in person, there is always the option of part-time participation with the opportunity to view the videos presented during the workshops, posted on the official YouTube channel of the seminar, and even to participate in discussing them online.

The organizers of the event were pleased to see the faces of interested colleagues in the conference room, for whom the seminar at the KhNAHU is an annual meeting that has become a good tradition. But it was equally pleasant to meet new guests who had just started working in the field of language training in different cities of Ukraine and listened to the presented information with interest. The seminar was successfully held, but the preparation of new events is already waitingahead, the opportunity to show new techniques, share new ideas, discover new ways of working. After all, the methodology of teaching foreign languages ​​is never in the same place, and every day can - and should! - inspire new achievements.
