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.

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.
