On October 15, the International Online Olympiad in Russian as a Foreign Language was launched. The Olympiad is organized by the Pushkin Institute SUSU State Scientific-Educational and Coordination Center for foreign students studying outside Russia, as well as in universities in our country.
The goal of the online Olympiad is to arouse interest in a deeper study of the Russian language and culture and popularize Russian education in the global scientific and educational space. Participation in the Olympiad will allow foreign students to test their knowledge about the history of Russia, its features and get an assessment of proficiency in Russian and terminology in the field of digital technology.
Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as graduate students are invited to participate in the Olympiad. The Olympiad is held in two rounds. At the first qualifying round, the basic knowledge of Russian is checked. The second round aims to test the knowledge of the history of the Russian language and culture and the specifics of using the Russian language in the field of digital technology.
“The first direction is more focused on the humanities, because it requires an in-depth knowledge of Russian culture and history. The second direction can be called special. Russian is often for foreigners a means of obtaining education in our country. South Ural State University is currently developing within the framework of the digital industry concept, and therefore it was decided to make this direction of the Olympiad not only engineering or technical, but also try to present the Russian language in the field of digital technologies ",” the person in charge activities, associate professor of the department of Russian as a foreign language ILIMK SUSU Olesya Sharafutdinova .
