07 november, 2018
The 3rd International Scientific Conference on “Modern Problems of Applied Linguistics” was organized by the Azerbaijan University of Languages. Guests from UK, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Finland, Japan, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and other countries, as well as academic staff of AUL and other republican universities attended the conference. Scientists participating in the conference made a welcome address to the university. Here are some of those letters. “I greet people of Azerbaijan. My name is Robert Bianchi. Originally from Canada, I live in Doha, Qatar, Middle East, and work as a teacher at the English Department of Commonwealth University in Virginia. I am to be here. For the first time I come to Azerbaijan. I must say that I am surrounded by the kindness and hospitality of your country. The Azerbaijan University of Languages and all the languages tought here created a great impression on me. It’s very interesting to be here because I love many languages. I have never attended a conference that paid such attention to guests. I am very grateful for this opportunity. Today I was at city sides. Baku is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. Before I came here, I had no idea about Baku. I am here and I am amazed. It’s very beautiful place.” Robert Bianchi- Associate Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University, Doha, Qatar. “The conference is dedicated to various aspects of linguistics, sociology, translation, foreign language teaching, experimental linguistics. As in the whole world, the development of linguistic issues in Azerbaijan is the same. Unfortunately, no interdisciplinary research is conducted. Another issue is financial. For example, funding is needed to conduct large-scale experiments and involve participants. Also, large-scale data analysis and specialists to upgrade are needed. That’s why we need to move forward, develop, conduct interdisciplinary research and build cooperation between the countries”. Eugenia Rikova- PhD in Paul Sabayter University, Toulouse, France “I am a professor of linguistics at the Konin State University of Applied Sciences in Poland. I have come to this conference at the invitation of well-known professor on Linguistics A.Mammadov. I accepted your invitation lovingly. I came to Baku yesterday. Although I have no time to enjoy your beautiful city, I have had the opportunity to walk through the streets of the old city. First of all, I was amazed at the beauty of your buildings. Buildings in the beautiful developing capital, I would say, are very striking. At your university I was greeted with hospitality. Dear rector Kamal Abdullayev, and our university staff have welcomed us very well. The languages taught at your university have made a great impression on me. This is a very good perspective for cooperation between Azerbaijan University of Languages and Konin State University of Applied Sciences. We signed a preliminary agreement on cooperation between the two universities on the Erasmus program. This is a teacher-student exchange within the program. So let’s look to the future with hope”. Barbara Lewandowska- Professor, Konin University of Applied Sciences, Head of Language, Literature and Translation Studies Department, Poland. “My feelings about Baku are very positive. It’s my first visit here and I’m very happy to be in this beautiful city. I had a chance to see Icheri Sheher, the Boulevard and the Caspian Sea. This made a great impression on me. Language level of students studying Italian is good. The results of the students in this area are very pleasing. I am Italian and I teach Italian at Palacky University. I took part in an Italian language course with about 40-50 students. Although students are low-grade students, they have a higher level of knowledge than the average. I am very grateful to your university for allowing this experience. I am very positive about the conference. Applied linguistics is currenty the core of issues such as psycholinguistics, computational analysis, learning and teaching a foreign language”. Marko Petolichio- Palacky University, Teacher of  Faculty of Romanian Languages, Czech Republic. “Thank you for hosting the international conference. All speeches were interesting and useful. The cultural program was perfectly organized. The hospitality given to each participant was remarkable. I express my special thanks to the staff and students and they helped us a lot. Azerbaijan University of Languages can be proud of its international status and active work. Rector of the University, Kamal Abdullayev, thank you for your hospitality and kindness”. With best regards, Department of Foreign Languages and Applied Linguistics at the National and World Economy University, s/t. Olga Lazova. “My impressions about Baku are very positive. It’s my first visit here and I’m glad to be in this beautiful city. I had the opportunity to walk to the Icheri Sheher and the Seaside National Park. This made a great impression on me. Dear Mrs. Sevda and Mr. Azad! “Thank you very much for the invitation. My wife and I have had incredible experiences in Baku. I express my gratitude to the rector of Azerbaijan University of Languages, academician Kamal Abdullayev. I believe that our cooperation with prominent scientist, Professor Azad Mammadov will continue in the future. I am glad that I met famous scientists, colleagues, event organizers Sevda Imanova and her husband Aydin Imanov. At the same time, I met Nahida Imanova. We look forward to further cooperation and development in the field of science. I express my gratitude for your hospitality and care. It is a great honor for me to visit your university again. I wish you and all your excellent students a great deal of success”. Barbara Lewandowska “Good morning Ms. Aysel!” I can’t find words of gratitude for your hospitality and kindness. I returned home safe and sound. I am sure that we will meet again in Baku and Warsaw”. Sincerely, Iga Lehman.
