I strongly believe that Higher education is no
longer a once in a lifetime experience. The present day national higher
education sets the most ambitious goals: to enhance innovative education
and provide for its competitiveness at the world education and labor
markets. Global integration into world economics requires a new type of
professional.
There is a growing need to master foreign languages in
order to become a competitive specialist in the world market. This
challenging task brings not only new opportunities for language
teachers’ self-improvement but also raises important methodology
questions.
I do hope that this conference will give each of you new ideas and
insights, new moments of professional growth and unforgettable
professional communication. We have to teach locally, but think
globally.
I wish you the never-ending thirst to develop, professionally as well as
personally, to share and to learn. Have a stimulating and enjoyable
time at the conference!
