Drahomira Sabolova, Associate Professor at the Department of Foreign Languages at the Faculty of Pedagogy, Catholic University in Ruzomberok (Slovakia), delivered a lecture to the students and teaching staff of the YSU Faculty of Russian Philology.
The lecture was about cross-linguistic homophones. Drahomira Sabolova drew parallels between Russian, Slovak and Czech, using examples known as "false friends of the translator" in these languages. The lecture aroused great interest among the faculty’s students who study the Czech language (students of the faculty also have a course "Modern Slavic Languages", within the scope of which they also study Czech). The students of that group actively participated in the lecture and posed questions to the speaker.
The guest lecturer came to Armenia as part of the "Erasmus+" exchange program. D. Sabolova teaches the course "Russian as a Foreign Language" in Slovakia. She finds it interesting to deliver a lecture for future Russian language specialists.
The lecturer stated that mutual visits play crucial role in facilitating the exchange of accumulated experience.
