Within the frames of this program 19 students of the faculty visited Ca Foscari University of Venice and showed high results in studies due to which the program has been continued.
“Such cooperation is highly effective both for teachers and for students. I have delivered lectures at Ca’ Foscari University and got interesting responds”, said the head of the chair.
Referring to the theme of the lectures Seda Gasparyan informed that this time the students were presented the theory of the American linguist Noham Chomski which is spread nowadays in cognitive linguistics. Though the theory is often criticized it is important that the students should be aware of the contents of the theory.
Alessandra Giorgi marked that she was impressed of the level of the students’ knowledge of both English and Italian.
“The knowledge of languages of the students of this university is really impressive and it makes my work easier as I only have to concentrate on the explanation of linguistic theories”, added Professor Giorgi.
