Faculty of Foreign languages

About the faculty

The Faculty of Foreign languages of Nakhchivan State University has been functioning independently since 2020. The history of this faculty, whose previous name was "Faculty of International Relations and Foreign languages," is multifaceted. So, initially, at the Faculty of History and Philology, English and French majors in the 1998-1999 academic year, German language in the 2000-2001 academic year, Russian language in the 2001-2002 academic year, and Arab language in the 2003-2004 academic year, staff training for the specialties was launched. Since 2006, it has been separated from the Faculty of History and Philology and continued its activities as the Faculty of Foreign languages. In the academic year 2007-2008, staff training for a new specialty, Persian language, was opened at the faculty. From 2008 to 2020, its name was transformed to the Faculty of International Relations and Foreign languages.

 

Under the Foreign languages faculty, there are four departments: "English language and translation,"  "English language and methodology,"  "Romano-Germanic languages," and "Russian and Eastern languages." The number of the teaching staff is of fifty-seven people. Eleven of them are PhDs in philology, associate professors, fifteen people are senior teachers, and thirty-one people are teachers.

         Department of Romano-Germanic languages

Due to an increase in the number of hours that other foreign languages are taught, the Department of “Romano-Germanic Languages” at Nakhchivan State University was renamed "Russian and Foreign Languages" on September 16, 1973, by Order No. 224. On May 25, 1995, Order No. 132 divided the department into "Western European and Eastern Languages" and "Russian language" departments. On September 1, 2003, the department was again divided into "European languages" and "Eastern languages," and on November 4, 2009, after further division, it was separated into "English language" and "Romano-Germanic languages."

DEPARTMENT OF "RUSSIAN AND EASTERN LANGUAGES".

The department currently known as the "Russian and Eastern Languages" department of Nakhchivan State University was incorporated into the "Language and Literature" department on April 6, 1970, by order No. 54. On September 16, 1973, the name of the department was transformed into "Russian and foreign languages" by order No. 224. On May 25, 1995, the department was renamed "Russian language" due to the increase in hours of instruction in other foreign languages. On March 1, 2004, the department was renamed "Russian language and literature" in conjunction with the opening of the specialty "Russian language and literature teacher."

Starting from the 2000-2001 academic year, taking into account the needs of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and other regions of our country, including neighboring countries, the specialty "Russian language and literature teacher" was opened at NSU. In connection with the transition to the new education system from the 2009-2010 academic year, the specialty "Russian language and literature teacher" was transformed into the specialty "Russian language teacher."

After the new staff schedule of Nakhchivan State University was approved by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic No. 94 dated May 24, 2018, the issue according to the new staff schedule was considered by the University Scientific Council, and the "Russian language and literature" and "Eastern languages and literature" departments were combined. It was named the "Russian and Eastern Languages" department.

            Currently, the "Russian and Eastern Languages" department offers staff training in three specializations.
