Innovations in the process of teaching foreign languages to the undergraduate students at the St. Petersburg Mining Institute

Article preview

In the 2000-2001 academic year, the Faculty of Foreign Languages of the St. Petersburg State Mining Institute underwent a reorganization aimed at improving the quality of foreign language teaching. The changes affected not only the teaching staff, but also the conditions of teaching foreign languages. As a result of these changes, modern teaching conditions were created at the department, which have no analogues among all Russian universities. With the introduction of the new teaching format, the department faced a number of urgent problems that had to be solved in the course of reorganization.
