The number of students from the PRC in Saint Petersburg State University is increasing year after year. The Department of Linguistics with its Bachelor program “English Language and English Literature” is especially popular. Today effective higher education is impossible without using a competence approach. The main goal is to make the graduates competent enough to work professionally.
