The Centre offers different intensive courses of foreign languages taught by the method developed by Galina Kitaigorodskaia, Dr., Professor, Academician at Moscow State University and a Dean at Moscow International University, Director of Intensive Learning Centre in Moscow.

interpersonal communication,
simulation/role-tailored learning material and learning process,
team interaction,
multipurpose learning exercises and assignments,
condensed organization of learning material and the learning process.
Application of her method at the Centre inspired the idea of setting a secondary Business School in Sochi, which in its turn advanced the plan of starting the branch of Moscow International University on its premises.
What's next? - The Business School and the International University students, adults who graduated from the Centre's language courses, the teaching staff and the students' parents - all favour the current idea of developing virtual campuses and virtual destinations on the Black Sea Tourism Education Network site - that will mirror the real life academic, research and business communities in the Black Sea region.
