Then, she will be talking about the two BIPs that were organized by the Institute of Foreign Languages - one with lecturers/staff and students, and one with lecturers/staff only. In her talk, she will focus on practical aspects of the BIP projects. Additionally, Aureliya will provide information about Language Tasters, Garden of Cultures, Language Hub, Mother Language Day, and other events her institution organizes.
