New Speaking club "Let's speak Russian" for KSUAE international students

The KSUAE Department of International Relations and the KSUAE Association of International Students (AIS) initiated the new Speaking club “Let's speak Russian” for all KSUAE international students.

The first meeting of the club on the topic “Let’s get to know each other” was held on December 14 in the friendly and cozy atmosphere of the academic center “Urban planning”.

At the opening of the club, Rector Rashit Nizamov and Vice-Rector for Education I.E.Vildanov greeted all the participants of the meeting, wishing them interesting and useful communication in the club, as well as improving their speaking skills which will help them in their future studies.

The meeting was attended by KSUAE international students from Ecuador, Algeria, Turkey, Chad, Benin, Peru, Angola, Yemen, Guinea, different courses and specialties, with different levels of Russian language proficiency, including students of the preparatory course of the Russian language. A pleasant surprise was the fact that students of preparatory courses from other Kazan universities, who plan to enter our University next year, also became interested in the meetings of our club.

During the meeting, the students got to know each other and talked about themselves, their country and their interests, additionally asking all the questions of interest to their interlocutors. This contributed to the creation of a friendly atmosphere and the enrichment of cultural horizons. Students actively used conversational Russian language skills, developing communication skills. Some students have already found new friends!

The club was created for KSUAE international students with the aim to overcome the language barrier; immerse in the atmosphere of the Russian language; practice speaking; expand vocabulary; learn the specifics of Russian speech and grammar; get acquainted with the culture and traditions of Russia and other countries; find new friends. Each club meeting will be devoted to one specific topic.

We thank everyone who attended the first meeting and look forward to seeing everyone at our next meeting in January!

The conversation club “Let's speak Russian” welcomes new participants and invites all interested foreign students, as well as Russian students, to join the club.

KSUAE academic staff and students took part in the business program of the architectural and construction forum “Kazanysh” - over the course of three days, the forum was attended by more than 400 our students from various fields of study.

The Forum took place at several venues, with speakers speaking in four halls.An exhibition of KSUAE was organized with an illustration of identity in science, art, architecture and education. All three days, the curators of the exhibition from the Institute of Architecture and Design talked about the concept and the meanings underlying it. The theme of this Forum is reflection of identity. The students were tasked with thinking about how maintaining identity would contribute to the effective strategic development of the city.

Students-architects attended the opening ceremony of the event, and in the evening they came to support the speakers at the pitch session, where they presented projects on three key topics of the forum: “Local Identity”, “City on the Water” and “Creative Redevelopment”.As part of the interim presentation of projects, they also presented their works to the expert community as part of a competition for the development of an architectural concept for objects, situated in one of the Kazan streets.

Our academic staff took part in the discussion “How an architect is formed” took place. The participants jointly tried to find answers to the questions: “What does architectural education mean today?”, “What and how are they taught in architectural universities today?”.

In addition to the educational program, various master classes were presented at the event site, in which KSUAE students participated with pleasure.
