The College was established
in 1965 when WSP (Pedagogical University) was founded. Initially,
it was staffed by five language lecturers in English, French, German,
Russian and Latin.
From 1990 to 1992, the lecturers
of the Practical Foreign Languages Teaching College ran an Optional
College of English and German, which was designed for students who
were interested in a given language. The experience was later used
by the Institute of Russian Philology to draw up a programme of
teaching students in two specialisations within Russian Philology.
The 1990s were the years
of growing interest in the English language. In connection with
it, more groups were formed and more lecturers employed, and co-operation
with the University of Wales, Bangor (Great Britain) originated.
The first native speakers who arrived from the University of Wales
were followed by others from academic centres in Great Britain and
the USA. The Polish lecturers and teachers of the German language
regularly attend seminars organised together with their colleagues
from Bielefeld (Germany), and since 1994 they have taught Polish
courses there. Every year the lecturers in French take part in language
and culture courses which are organised in France.
For some years now, students at the
Pedagogical University have had the possibility of learning Russian
from the beginner's level. This service is directed towards students
who did not learn Russian in primary or secondary schools.
The staff of the Practical Foreign
Languages Teaching College assist the University and the city during
numerous visits of delegations from abroad.
