Then Sabuhi Bashirov brought the history of language learning to the attention of the participants and informed about special methods of foreign language learning and teaching. He said that learning a foreign language is one of the urgent and necessary issues in modern times as well as in all eras. There are different methodological approaches and programs for learning a language. Before deciding to learn a foreign language, you must be motivated. That is, the reason for learning a language should determine the contribution and benefits that this language can provide. If you don't have a goal to use the language you're learning, you won't have the drive or motivation to learn the language in a systematic way.

Sabuhi Bashirov also talked about the advantages of knowing a language and noted that knowing a foreign language is the development of our successful future and professional career life. Knowing a foreign language is a skill that is in demand in many companies, enterprises and institutions today.

The trainer advised the students to properly evaluate the opportunities created for them to learn English at the university and answered the questions that interested the students.
