At the Faculty of Foreign Philology this week began the celebration of the Day of English Language and Culture. The event was not accidentally held on the International Day of William Shakespeare. Knowing English today is the musthave of every educated successful person, so it is not surprising that students of the Faculty of Foreign Philology study it as the first and second foreign language throughout the entire period of study. And on this day, English was the official language of communication not only at classes, but also at each break.
