Specialists in Russian philology from fifteen countries took part in an international scientific and practical conference dedicated to the problems of teaching Russian as a foreign language. It took place in the Hungarian capital, the Rossotrudnichestvo website reports.

Experts from Hungary, Germany, Belarus, Georgia, the USA, Poland, the Czech Republic, Estonia and other countries discussed topical issues of studying and teaching Russian. Russian teachers and scientists, linguists and methodologists were also widely represented. Guests from different regions of our country arrived in Budapest: from Moscow and St. Petersburg to Surgut, Simferopol and Ufa.

The forum worked in three sections, where they discussed teaching methods, linguistic research and their use in teaching practice. The third section was devoted to translation issues. Discussions at the round table also took place.

Participants are confident that meetings in such a format play a coordinating role in the processes of spreading of the Russian language abroad.

Following the conference, a collection of reports and messages will be published, which is included in the Russian Science Citation Index.
