Project description
academic year 2020 / 2021
and possible continuation in the following years

Development of the linguistic competences of students, PhD candidates and other WUST language courses participants.


Project concept is based on:

  • during online teaching,
    development of the language skills of Polish and foreign students, both full- and part-time, participants of preparatory courses for prospective students and PhD candidates at WUST during online teaching using available IT tools,
  • extending the knowledge of course participants about the countries in which the languages taught in the department are spoken,
  • popularisation of foreign languages taught at the Foreign Language Department WUST.
  • motivation for systematic language learning using a multi-aspect approach and various task types.

​The classes are organised for all students and PhD candidates who volunteer to participate and are free of charge.

The goals are pursued with the participation of students, PhD candidates and other WUST courses participants in various language related events organised by the Foreign Language Department teachers online in the academic year 2020/21 (with a possible continuation in the following years). The following initiatives are included:

Dear Students and PhD Candidates,
We are experiencing a very difficult time due to the epidemic and hence limited opportunities for direct contact with friends and teachers. The Foreign Language Department, our teachers and administrative staff are all trying to respond tour queries as quickly as we can and support you in this difficult time.
For the purpose of reducing the discomfort related to the current situation in education, we are undertaking a number of initiatives, which we hope will contribute to improving your language skills and gaining new knowledge about the countries where the languages we teach are spoken.
Aside form this we would like to invite you to meetings with the Department management which will be organised on various days of the week so as to enable the participation of the largest number of students in these meetings.
