On March 6, 2025, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University hosted an online open lecture titled «Teaching Grammar in Context: Prescriptive, Descriptive, and Pedagogic Grammars. The Differences Between Grammar in Writing and in Speaking».

  • Bachelor’s level — Philology (Germanic Languages and Literatures, including Translation; first language — English, second — German);
  • Master’s level — Secondary Education (Language and Literature, English).

The lecture had a distinctly interactive character: students engaged actively in discussion, confidently defended their ideas and viewpoints, and demonstrated a high level of professional competence and critical thinking.
