RSU Red Cross Medical College study program “Pharmacy” director Artūrs Praškilēvics and study program “Therapeutic Massage” director Una Veseta took part in English language classes organized by ShipCon Limassol for education sector professionals within Erasmus+.
Study program “Pharmacy” director Artūrs Praškilēvics stated that good English language skills are a necessity in his work – both for teaching students and working in his professional field of pharmacy. The RSU SKMK provided opportunity to participate in ShipCon Limassol courses English for Educators: Advance your Career (Level1) provided a great way to improve the language skills. The English language classes, led by certified Cambridge ESOL teachers, included lectures, practical sessions, discussions and presentations, with the aim of improving English language skills, as well as building cross-cultural and professional connections between educators.
16 educational professionals from Latvia, Bulgaria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Belgium and Turkey participated in the training. During the lectures and seminars, the participants revised the basic principles of English grammar and participated in discussions about the values of national identity: language, traditions, art, culture, architecture. Participants had the opportunity to present their country and its national values.
Study program “Pharmacy” director Artūrs Praškilēvics:
"English language courses in Croatia, under the guidance of experienced teachers, provided not only the opportunity to improve my knowledge and skills in using English language, but also confirmed that this type of mobility is important and useful for getting to know the cultural and historical diversity of Europe and the world. It was a valuable experience to listen to your industry colleagues' stories about optimizing and improving the study process. The opportunities provided by this mobility not only have a beneficial effect on my work at the College, but also promote international and inter-institutional cooperation with other universities. This will undoubtedly result in useful contacts and open up new cooperation opportunities for students, lecturers and other employees of the institution I represent. I am very grateful to RSU Red Cross Medical College for this opportunity.”
Una Veseta, the director of the study program "Therapeutic massage", emphasizes that the courses helped her to develop her knowledge of the use of the English language in meetings, classes and professional communication.
Study program “Therapeutic Massage” director Una Veseta:
"During the classes, we talked about the stages and methods of improving English knowledge, the possibilities of expanding the vocabulary and grammatical features. In our free time, we all got to know the historical places of the beautiful Croatian city of Split, and while continuing to improve our English language skills, we got to know each other and discussed possible professional cooperation."
