Historical
Reference
The Department
of Languages of SEUA comprising the Chairs of Armenian, Russian and
Foreign Languages (English, French, German) was founded in 1991.
Before that, these Chairs functioned independently each having its own
history. In fact all the languages mentioned above have been taught
since the foundation of the University - 1933. However in the academic
year 1949 the Chairs of Russian and Foreign Languages were combined
in one Chair. Georgi Karagedov was appointed the Head of the Chair.
In 1961 the Chairs were separated. G. Karagedov continued to head the
Chair of Russian and Sargis Alemyan became the Head of the Chair of
Foreign Languages. Ever since the Chairs have functioned independently.
The Chair of Armenian was founded in 1960-s, in the period of organization
of Preparatory Courses. In 1985 a new Chair of Russian for foreign students
was founded. Later the 2 Chairs of Russian were combined. During the
past 70 years many highly qualified and experienced specialists worked
at the Chairs and contributed greatly to the cause of language teaching
at YPI - SEUA, among them: V. Totovents, S. Alemyan, A. Hovhannisyan,
N. Nersisyan, M. Gyulderyan, I. Beletskaya, G. Zakaryan and others.
At present about 60 specialists are employed at the Chairs.
