Open Door Day: From "speed dating" to true love

On 20 April 2024, Sumy State University held the Open Door Day. This year's event had an unusual format - applicants got acquainted with the specialties in the form of "speed dating". The IFSK faculty also made future students fall in love with their specialties. The event was attended by pupils of the 10th-11th grades, college students and parents. During the "quick dates", applicants could personally communicate with representatives of the graduating departments and learn more about the choice of future specialty, admission requirements, study benefits, and modern educational opportunities.

Translation in practice

Maryna Chernyk, a lecturer at the Department of Germanic Philology, translated into English the publication "Art Collection of Sumy State University". The authors of the works collected in the gallery are prominent artists from Ukraine, Poland, Switzerland, and Croatia. But most of the collection is composed of works by artists of Sumy Oblast.

Representative of the Department of Germanic Philology adopts international experience

A novelty from the UK Government, namely the introduction of the International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS), has given Olha Shumenko (an associate professor of the Department of Germanic Philology) an opportunity to become a candidate for the International Qualified Teacher Status certificate. It is positioned as a way to obtain high-quality international teacher education. The IQTS meets the standards of the International Education Strategy, providing thorough and qualified training for British and Ukrainian teachers. It reviews available ways and methods to maintain and improve the quality of educational services in extreme conditions. Candidates for the iQTS have an opportunity to study locally (at their place of residence or work) without visiting England.

Hot debate

The event, which took place during the faculty week and brought together students and teachers, was called "Hot Debate". The comic debate format, proposed by the student government, was used for the first time this year. However, department representatives eagerly responded to the student initiative. Teams of teachers and students were drawn by lot to determine whether they would have to be the "defense" or the "opposing" side.

Easter atmosphere in German

The first-year Philology students began to master the basics of the German language in the spring semester. Immediately, they became interested in this process. Education seekers visited the Goethe Institut's German speaking club online.

Conference "Educational process: The students' perspective"

A future interpreter on the sleep guard

Kateryna Haivoronska, a third-year Philology student (PR-11), took part in the workshop "PedSmart Sleep" as an interpreter from German into Ukrainian and from Ukrainian into German. This event was for physicians and everyone interested in sleep problems, considering the psycho-traumatic impact of the ongoing war.

Poetry Week at the Department of Germanic Philology

Anna Zinchenko (a lecturer at the Department of Germanic Philology) together with Philology students implemented a creative poetry project "I", It consisted of two parts: creation of a poetic work and experiments with visual forms of presentation. The project aimed not only to introduce students to a poetic work. They also tried to express themselves through it in other languages (English and German). Thematically, the project focused on self-identification and self-analysis. Students tried to find answers to important personal questions and express them by experimenting with the visual representation of poetry.

All-Ukrainian English Olympiad

In March 2024, the second stage of the All-Ukrainian Student Olympiad in academic subjects among students of vocational education institutions in 2023-2024 was held in eight academic subjects, including foreign languages.  The event was aimed at identifying, supporting and developing the creative potential of students, as well as preparing them for final examinations.
