During the conference, students actively and persistently learned: to convincingly and confidently present the chosen topic to a wide audience, make presentations, listen carefully to the scientific speeches of others, write down what is important for themselves and their profession, ask questions correctly, summarize what they heard in the speeches and read in the poster presentations, notice the nuances of the discussed problems, analyze their own speech and that of other speakers, and do not be afraid to speak. Students gained experience in civilized language communication, which is very important in every profession.
Participation in the conference helped to find new friends and interesting interlocutors, enriched with new knowledge, important experience and practical skills, inspired the desire to engage in scientific work, research language problems, master international languages, perfectly know Ukrainian, and constantly improve one’s speech.
The conference was organized at a high modern level, and we are grateful for the help provided to us in preparing the texts of reports and public speeches, presentations. For most, it was almost the first experience of participating in a scientific conference. And we are satisfied with it.
