The International Institute of Economics and Linguistics at ISU held the inter-institutional conference “Urgent Issues of Modern Russian Linguistics”. This conference is a traditional one and welcomes international students from China, South Korea, Mongolia and the USA.
The issues discussed are as follows: the language system and language aspects of the text, cross-cultural communication, theoretical aspects of modern Russian language.

– My report deals with the national features of expressing emotions. My teacher of Russian grammar has recommended me to explore this topic, and it has turned out to be interesting. I have noticed that the speech of Russian people is quite emotional, I am emotional too. Probably, this is one of the reasons for me to love Russian language, - Sarah Chatta, the international students from the USA remarks.

International students demonstrated a good command of Russian as well as skills to analyze and compare language characteristics.
– Every report has been thought-provoking. We should mention that the interest to linguistics issues is increasing, each year students find new topics to explore, - Elena Kraynova, the head of Russian language and teaching methods department, notes.
