Universiade is a competition for students studying Italian at universities, which is organized annually by the National Association of Teachers of Foreign Languages ANILS (Italy).
The Universiade assignments are divided into six QCER/CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels, from A1 to C2, and include listening, reading, writing, speaking and grammar.
— The Italian language at Novosibirsk State University has always been taught at a very high level, our graduates work as teachers and translators from Italian and even teach at Italian universities. And we are very happy that there is an international project in which our students can test themselves by solving problems simultaneously with Italian students from all over the world, — notes the director of the Italian Center of NSU, senior lecturer of the Department of Romano-Germanic Philology Humanitarian Institute Olga Kuznetsova.
This year, first-year students from the Philology and Linguistics departments who started studying Italian only in September also took part in the Universiade. They took the risk of trying their hand at level A2 and showed decent results: at level A2, Philology student Maya Bordukova scored 88 points out of 100 possible, and Maria Zhuravleva (Linguistics) scored 79 points out of 100, showing the highest results in their groups.
— I was interested in testing my strength, learning something new and understanding what I could strive for. It’s one thing when you’re in a calm class, and another thing when you’re in a stressful situation. I wanted to know if I could demonstrate my knowledge at the same level. The Universiade lasted about an hour and a half, and we learned the results that same day from our teacher. I didn’t expect to get good results, because the level of the Universiade was a little higher than what we had. So when I saw my scores, I was surprised at first, but then I felt a surge of joy and motivation. It’s very nice to know that your efforts are paying off, — said Maya Bordukova.
Second-year philology students Daria Pod’yanova and Yuri Nikolaev scored 86 points out of 100 at level B1.
We congratulate all participants and wish them to conquer all levels of the Universiade, up to C2!
