Webinars
Despite the lockdown, ICC-Languages has had a busy few months – online, of course. Our management has worked hard to cement our relations with international language organisations in Eu- rope, particularly the ECML (European Committee for Modern Languages) and ECSPM (European Civil Society Platform for Multilingualism and the Lifelong Learning Platform), which offers lesson plans and activities for teachers.
- TOPIC: ICC News
- DATE: September 27, 2021
We have also run a programme of monthly webinars featuring experts on a variety of language and cultural topics. The seminars which take place towards the end of each month are recorded. You can visit https://icc-languages.eu/webinars for details.
In April, Ian McMaster, Editor-in-Chief, Business Spotlight magazine, spoke on Authenticity in Language and Leadership: What Is It and Why Do We Need It? As he wrote in his summary, ‘Authenticity is everywhere in business books and articles nowadays. Leaders and other professionals are urged to ‘be more authentic’ or ‘be themselves’. But what exactly is authenticity? In this talk, we will discuss various dimensions of authenticity in relation to both language and leadership’.
In May, Rebecca Oxford and Maria Matilde Olivero led a discussion on Peacebuilding in Language Education, which they summarised as follows. ‘Language teachers become peacebuilders when they weave flexible peace activities into the current curriculum, thus increasing students’ competencies in both language and peace’. In the webinar, they describe crucial peace dimensions and lead several brief, experiential peace activities designed for language teachers and learners. The webinar demonstrates the simplicity and importance of integrating the activities into language instruction.
In her webinar in June, Gabrielle Hogan-Brun posed the question Why Study Languages? and answered it by showing how languages have the power to shape our life and the future. She told the real-life stories of how ordinary and famous people learned languages to help them find their place and become successful in the world.
In July, Geoff Tranter warned teachers to Beware the Comfort Zone, arguing that, ‘if in the language classroom either the teacher and/or the students have a tendency to remain within their individual comfort zones, the chances of progress in language proficiency will diminish accordingly’, and exploring counterstrategies to improve teaching and learning.
Finally, in her August webinar entitled From Cheating to E-cheating in Language Assessment: (How) Should We Care? Anna Soltyska examined how online cheating in exams can take place and how best to prevent it.
If any of these topics interest you, please feel free to follow them up on our website.

- TOPIC: RUDN University News
- DATE: March 19, 2021
Oleg Yastrebov, Rector of RUDN University: ‘We have this good tradition to celebrate our anniversaries by looking at the outstanding achievements of RUDN University contributing to the ongoing development of its research potential and educational strength. The university passed the test of the pandemic with flying colours and managed to keep up the quality and pace of the educational services it set out to provide. In 2020, we didn’t just retain, but actually managed to increase the rate of admission of foreign citizens with over 160 states sending their applicants to study at RUDN University’.
Konstantin Kosachev, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs: ‘Training of highly qualified staff for the world is of paramount importance today and is reaching a qualitatively new level. Russia is actively participating in the race for talented international applicants. The multidimensional strategy here includes a wide range of measures: from simplifying the visa regime to rebranding the country’s universities. RUDN University has managed to define its identity as a research-oriented global educational community. Highly qualified graduates of RUDN University are in great demand on the international labour market and are widely recognised in the academic community. Ongoing communication and joint teamwork involving students and alumni from other countries turned the university into a unique centre that unites the ever so valuable expertise of people of different cultural backgrounds’.
Petr Kucherenko, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia: ‘RUDN University is not just a leading university in Russia, but also a place of power. Its spirit remains unchanged – it rests in the diversity of languages, clothing styles and even ethnic national cuisines. Over the past years, the university has trained over 200 thousand specialists for more than 170 states, strengthening and developing the regions of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America and the CIS countries. Many outstanding alumni have become heads of ministries, governments and states’.
