On 11 November, the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, together with Kazan Federal University (KFU), held the All-Russian Dictation in Foreign Languages. The SPbGASU Department of Intercultural Communication is the official regional venue for the project. The All-Russian Dictation in Foreign Languages ​​is held annually among students of higher, secondary, and general schools. In 2025, the event attracted 41,245 students.

The dictation was held for the tenth time at the initiative of the Institute of International Relations, History, and Oriental Studies at Kazan Federal University (KFU) in conjunction with the KFU Department of Youth Policy. The main goals of the event were to motivate students to study foreign languages, improve literacy, and enhance their proficiency in foreign languages. This year, the dictation was prepared in four languages: English, German, French, and Spanish.

The All-Russian Dictation in Foreign Languages ​​is a unique opportunity to test your listening and writing skills in a foreign language.

In 2025, the dictation became an important part of the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The text was based on the personal memoirs of Faina Lazarevna Ratner, a distinguished graduate and professor at Kazan University, about the war and post-war period. The dictation text was prepared by teachers from the KFU Institute of International Relations, History, and Oriental Studies.

SPbGASU students participated in the English language dictation for the fourth time. This year, it was 73 students.

The winners of the English language dictation at SPbGASU were first- and second-year students Denis Nazarov, Maksim Klochko, Klara Bakenova, Karolina Vashkevich, Varvara Gorbunova, Amina Karavardanyan, Viktor Bondarev and Daria Karaulova.

All dictation participants received electronic certificates of participation, and the winners and runners-up received electronic diplomas.

We congratulate our students on their excellent English language skills, and thank the teachers of the SPbGASU Department of Intercultural Communication for their assistance with the dictation organization!
