KBSU students became winners of the All-Russian Dictation in German
Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after Kh.M. Berbekov joined the large-scale All-Russian open action Tolles Diktat. The dictation in German was written by students of the Social and Humanitarian Institute (SHI) of KBSU.
The dictation texts were presented in five difficulty levels (from A1 to C1) and were dedicated to anniversaries related to the history and culture of Russia and Germany: the 110th anniversary of the birth of pianist Svyatoslav Richter, the 260th anniversary of the founding of the city of Marx (Ekaterinenstadt), the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the 110th anniversary of the birth of academician Boris Rauschenbach and the 260th anniversary of the founding of the first German colonies near St. Petersburg.
Veronika Zorina showed the best result. The girl is studying the program «German and Romance Philology» in the master’s program of the SGI KBSU. She took first place in the nomination «Proficiency level — B1».
I am very glad that I was able to take part in this dictation and test my knowledge. At school, I studied another language, so I had to learn German from scratch. Thanks to the teachers of the Department of German and Romance Philology of KBSU, I (and the whole group) managed to achieve a high level. At the moment, I am continuing my studies in the master’s program, and my interest in learning languages is only growing,
— shared the winner of the action Veronika Zorina.
Prize places were also won by undergraduate students of the SGI KBSU in the profile «Foreign Philology (German language, English language)». Leila Lyanova took second place in the nomination «Proficiency level — A2». Salima Gizhgieva is third in the “Proficiency Level – B1” category
The All-Russian open campaign Tolles Diktat has been held since 2012 and is timed to coincide with International Mother Language Day, which is celebrated on February 21. This year, the campaign brought together participants from 80 regions of Russia and 30 countries. The goal of the dictation is to increase motivation for learning foreign languages, preserve linguistic and cultural diversity, and popularize the history and culture of Russian Germans.
