International Russian Language Olympiad: the works of foreign students of BSMU are awarded

From March 1 to April 12, Belarusian State Medical University and Kursk State Medical University have been cooperating in the International Interuniversity Online Olympiad in Russian for foreign students "Everything starts with the Family", dedicated to the Year of the Family in the Russian Federation.

The Olympiad was attended by foreign students of 1-3 courses from ten universities of Russia and Belarus, studying in Russian and English. Students of the Medical Faculty for International Students of our university also took an active part in intellectual competitions.

The Olympiad consisted of two stages. At the first stage, the participants were asked to present their idea of the value of the family in the form of an essay. During the second stage, the students displayed their concept of family values in the form of a presentation.

On April 17, the jury announced the winners of the final stage of the Olympiad. Among the participants from Belarusian State Medical University, student Djelalov Dovran (Turkmenistan) was awarded a diploma of the III degree, creative works by Naaman Youssef (Lebanon) and Masarva Hassan (Israel) were awarded diplomas.

The role of international Olympiads in learning Russian as a foreign language is very important. Such events contribute to the development of interest in learning Russian language, motivate them to improve their practical language skills and show creative initiative, as well as create conditions for realizing the potential of talented students.

Congratulations to Djelalov Dovran, Naaman Youssef and Masarva Hassan, we wish them further success in their studies! We thank the teachers of the department who supervised the work of the students: Nella Lyudchik, Nadezhda Kislik and Anastasia Minko.

Special gratitude to the Head of the Department of Belarusian and Russian Languages of Belarusian State Medical University Tatiana Melnikova and to the Head of the Department of Russian Language and Pedagogy of Kursk State Medical University Irina Kovyneva, whose efforts carried out this project.
