Four best foreign students of Kazan Innovative University named after V.G. Timiryasov were awarded at the Pushkin Cultural Center, where the winners of the Total Dictation 2024 were honored. Kazan Innovative University named after V.G. Timiryasov annually takes part in this event. This year is an anniversary year both for the “Total Dictation” project and for Kazan Innovative University named after V.G. Timiryasov. This year, 12 of our students from different countries took part in the action, four of them wrote the dictation with excellent marks.

An integral part of the Total Dictation project is the TruD test for foreign students. The test consists of 9 interesting and informative tasks developed by experts in the field of Russian as a foreign language based on the original dictation text and allowing to assess knowledge of vocabulary, phraseology, grammar of the Russian language, the ability to correlate the content of written text and infographics. The final, tenth task is a short excerpt from the same text, which participants write under dictation. It gives them a sense of the Russian spirit and special atmosphere.

A student of Kazan Innovative University named after V.G. Timiryasov Hernandez Perez Zharik Yiseth shares her impressions of participation:

'I enjoyed participating in the Total Dictation. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to take part in the award ceremony. I was very impressed that one of the awards was a book, which I thought was a great idea since books are the basis of knowledge.'
