We are improving the quality of language education
On November 19, a seminar-training on pedagogical mastery titled "Language Education and Critical Thinking" took place within the walls of the International University in Central Asia. More than 30 participants, including English language teachers from Bishkek and Tokmok, gathered to enhance their qualifications, share experiences, and learn something new. The headline speaker of the event was Professor Dennis Brickolt from North Park University in Chicago, USA—a unique specialist with over 40 years of experience in teaching foreign languages

The participants immersed themselves in the fascinating world of teaching the English language. They learned how to teach English in large groups, familiarized themselves with the methodology of intensive English language teaching, and discussed the peculiarities of teaching English at the initial stages of learning.


Seminar participants praised the friendly atmosphere, the high level of organization, and the professorial competence of Dennis Brickolt. Concluding the seminar-training, Vice President of the International University in Central Asia, Essentur Ivagov, emphasized that MUCA will continue to contribute to the improvement of the quality of language education in the country and the region.
