Moreover, shortly before the conference, the department holds an Olympiad in linguistics. Students of ETU "LETI" and all Russian universities have an opportunity to take part and test their knowledge in linguistics.
A poetic translation competition takes place in October; the results are announced at a poetry evening.
One of the highlights of the fall semester is the forum Palette of Languages and Cultures, which has different themes each year. The event aims to increase the level of tolerance in the student and professional community of the university.
The Committee on Science and Higher Education conducts the competition of student research papers on creating a tolerant environment in St. Petersburg. Students of the Department of Foreign Languages enter the list of finalists of this competition each year.
