On November 5, the Faculty of Foreign Philology of ZNU organized a Christmas holiday in German. Its initiator and organizer was Alla Mamedova, associate professor of the department of teaching a second foreign language. The participants of the holiday are students of the specialty “English language and literature (philology)” (groups 303, 401 and 402) and the specialty “English language and literature (translation)” (group 402). Therefore, for them this event was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate not only their creative abilities and acting talents, but also to confirm the high level of proficiency in the second, German, language.
