Russian language becomes popular in Syria


18.07.2018


Employees of the Russian Center of Damascus University have recently visited Jeble located at the Mediterranean seaside. The Russian language is studied at the state and private schools of the city.

Students of one of the private centers study the Russian language in accordance with the state school curriculum and by songs and fairytales as well. Thus, the lesson turns into an amusing game. The emotional component is a key to successful studying here.

At present, 15 000 pupils study the Russian language in 189 state secondary schools in Syria. One of the key components for successful studying in the foreign environment is motivation.

A trip to Artek international children’s center was a good motivation for schoolchildren in Syria, who are learning Russian at the secondary state schools from 7th to 12th grades.



25 Syrian schoolchildren successful at studying the Russian language spent vacations at the this camp last summer. The trip became possible thanks to the efforts of the Russian Ministry of Education, the Russkiy Mir Foundation, Russian Synergy University, Russian Embassy in Syria and Russian Center of Damascus University.

The children are going to remember this capturing trip for the rest of their lives, while their peers started to study better in order to take the same trip to Artek next year.

18 children got the highest score in the Russian language last year. This year already 150 children studied with distinction. They took part in the Olympiad on the Russian language. Winners are going to Artek at the end of August.
