An event dedicated to Mother Language Day was held at KWIU, actively engaging international students. The program included both an educational lecture and entertaining activities.
Students were tasked with identifying various images and naming them in Georgian. The participants performed very well, demonstrating strong engagement and enthusiasm. At the end of the fun activities and competition, students were awarded symbolic prizes.
Teaching the Georgian language is an important part of KWIU’s medical program, especially for international students. Proficiency in the language enables them to communicate effectively with patients and clinical personnel, as well as to accurately collect medical histories during their clinical practice.
In Georgia, Mother Language Day is celebrated annually on April 14 and is associated with the historic events of 1978, when widespread public protest ensured that the Georgian language retained its status as the state language. The day highlights the importance of the Georgian language as a key element of national identity and cultural heritage.
Such activities contribute not only to language learning but also to student integration and the development of practical skills.
