"It has already become a good tradition at the faculty that scientific communication within the framework of the Science Week takes place with the involvement of traditional forms of academic communication – plenary meetings, innovative communicative approaches, workshops, master classes, successfully implemented in the work of the international discussion panel and the youth scientific platform.

The exchange of experience is the key to the success of any business. It is undoubtedly essential for the successful educational activities, especially against the background of the constant dynamic development of the latest teaching methods and technologies, the introduction of innovative approaches to teaching foreign languages.

It is incredibly important to develop international relations and collaborate to strengthen academic and cultural contacts in today's challenging environment. At the university, great attention is paid to the study of foreign languages and the atmosphere of the countries whose languages are studied by students is recreated. After all, foreign language training of specialists is one of the priorities of innovative development of Poltava Polytechnic.

It is gratifying to note that such practically oriented scientific, educational and professional events are becoming a good tradition, in particular thanks to the comprehensive support of the rector of the university, Honored Worker of Education of Ukraine, laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology, Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor Volodymyr Onyshchenko.

We hope for further cooperation and we are working on the implementation of the following creative ideas!" – stressed the Dean of the Faculty of Philology, Psychology and Pedagogy of the National University "Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic", Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor Anna Aheicheva.
