RAU Team Takes Part in RUDN International School Following Case Championship Victory

The faculty mentor and philology students presented their Telegram bot, “РусскийСобеседник,” developed as a team.

On October 19–28, Seda Tunyan, Associate Professor at the Department of Russian Language and Professional Communication of the RAU Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication, PhD in Philology, took part in the International School for winners and prizewinners of the “Russian Language: Territory of Innovation” international case championship, held at Patrice Lumumba Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University).

The invitation followed the victory of the team led by Seda Tunyan in the “Best Technological Solution” category. The team presented “РусскийСобеседник,” a Telegram bot designed as an interactive tool for learning Russian as a foreign language at A1–B1 levels. The team included RAU philology students Mane Muradyan, Nane Asilbekyan, and Tina Sargsyan.

During the International School, the team presented its project, outlining its educational potential and development

prospects. Participants also exchanged experience and explored current approaches to applying artificial intelligence and digital technologies in education. The program included practical sessions on educational project development and presentation, as well as the creation of content for online Russian-language courses.

In addition, all team members completed the professional development course “New Technologies in Education and Science: Word in Digital and Digital in Word” at RUDN University’s Center for Additional Professional Education. Seda Tunyan received an advanced training certificate, while the students were awarded certificates of completion.

The experience opened up new opportunities for further developing “РусскийСобеседник” and continuing the collaborative work between the lecturer and her students.
