In 2019 MCU entered Erasmus+ Agreement with University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, which enabled to invite Professor Katarzyna Kwapisz-Osadnik, Doctor of Philology, lecturer of the Institute of Romance Languages and Translation Studies, at the MCU’s Institute of Foreign Languages with a series of lectures and seminars in French.
On March 6—7 both freshman and senior students were introduced to the principles of axiological linguistics, fundamentals of the theory of discourse, and psycholinguistics aspects of learning foreign languages. The seminar was dedicated to the usage of the French verb fair, as well as discussion of leisure activities.
