On December 11, at the Department of Foreign Languages, Associate Professor Mazhieva R.M. conducted an open lesson on the topic "Deutschland" (Germany) with students from the Institute of Information Technologies, group "Information Systems Security-1-25." The event was aimed at expanding students' knowledge about the culture, history, and traditions of Germany, as well as strengthening interest in studying foreign languages and intercultural exchange.

The lesson proceeded in accordance with the pre-prepared plan and aroused great interest among the participants. In the first part, students familiarized themselves with general information about Germany: its geographical location, history, economy, and key attractions. Associate Professor Mazhieva R.M. spoke about Germany's role in Europe and the world, emphasizing its contribution to science, technology, and culture. This part helped students form a general idea of the country and motivated them for further study.

In the second part, a presentation about Berlin—the capital of Germany—was presented. The group students prepared materials about famous places such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall, and the Reichstag, as well as about the modern life of the city. The presentation included visual aids, photographs, and interesting facts, which made the lesson more engaging and interactive. Participants actively discussed how Berlin combines historical heritage and innovations.

The third part of the lesson was dedicated to the anthems of Kyrgyzstan and Germany. Students performed the anthem of the Kyrgyz Republic, and then listened to and analyzed the anthem of the Federal Republic of Germany ("Deutschlandlied"). This allowed comparing the cultural symbols of the two countries, emphasizing the values of unity and patriotism, and also contributed to the development of listening and pronunciation skills in the German language. The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm, and the performance of the anthems became an emotional climactic moment.

In the concluding part of the lesson, Associate Professor Mazhieva R.M. summed up the results, noting the students' activity and involvement. She expressed gratitude to the participants and emphasized the importance of such open lessons for the development of international understanding and professional competencies in the field of information security.

In the future, it is planned to conduct similar lessons on other countries to further expand the students' horizons.

On December 11, the Department of Foreign Languages, together with first-year students  who are studying foreign languages, held an event titled “The World of Aitmatov – Eternal Legacy”, dedicated to the creative work of the great Kyrgyz and world writer, a classic of the 20th–21st centuries, People’s Writer of Kyrgyzstan, and Hero of the Kyrgyz Republic — Chingiz Torekulovich Aitmatov.
