In the last week of August, there was a cultural awareness training related to the preparation of joint studies. Due to the epidemiological situation, the training was held online.

The issues of the differences between Slavic and Romance languages were also discussed, which may affect the perception of spoken language messages and their translation into English, the lingua franca of the modern world.

In the modern digitized world, in addition to traditional teaching methods and
techniques, universities increasingly use online didactic materials supporting
the teaching process.

Online dissemination of scientific content supports and diversifies the teaching process.

Within the framework of the project’s tasks, we prepare tutorials for computer-based
subjects. One of a series of eight scheduled video tutorials has already been
completed. “Projection techniques” is teaching material related to subjects
such as animation and 3D projection techniques.

English textbook

Agata Jagiełło-Tondera — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:38:56 +0000

English, which has become lingua franca of the contemporary world, is used for communication in all scientific fields and in interpersonal contacts. As a
global language, it has also become one of the most frequently chosen languages for international studies.

While preparing the program of joint Polish-Romanian studies, we have undertaken the task of creating a specialist English textbook for graphic designers. Original texts concerning both the history of art and practical issues have been created, and the tasks are designed to ensure that students express themselves efficiently and fluently on given topics.

Works on the final format and artwork of the textbook are underway.
