Dear students, dear colleagues, it is my great privilege to welcome you to this conference, MasterConf 2026. Your research, covering various topics in language teaching, linguistics and culture studies, is not merely academic exercise. It's the essential work of deepening human understanding, promoting and facilitating dialogue, and navigating through the complexities of a globalized world.
I have reviewed the conference program, and, to be honest, I'm deeply impressed with the scope and sophistication of the topics that you'll be presenting on today. This conference is a key milestone in your academic journey. It is a great opportunity to present your research results, to show your presentation skills, to engage in scholarly debate, and to provide constructive feedback to your peers.
So, I encourage you to participate actively.
And, as a member of the administration of this Institute, I would like to extend my gratitude to the organizing committee, both students and faculty, for their hard work in bringing this event to life, and, on behalf of administration, I would like to declare this conference officially open. I wish you a stimulating and productive conference. Thank you.
Irina Tivyaeva, Doctor of Philology, Professor at Moscow City University
