The activity of the chair is closely related to the development prospects of the university and is carried out in accordance with the three-level system of higher education.

In 2018-2019, the curriculum of Armenian and foreign languages was drawn up in a new way, in line with modern requirements and taking into account the professional orientation of the university. The courses are practical: they are carried out through discussions, practical exercises and new teaching methods are used – modeling of the communication situations, work in pairs, groups, role-playing games, presentations. The Internet is widely used, the activity of students’ participation is of great importance, and alternative approaches to the posed questions are encouraged. Attempts are made to develop critical approaches, to develop basic communication skills. Students are given the opportunity to participate in additional foreign language courses, thus filling not only what was left out, but also deepening the knowledge gained.

It is expected that after the completion of the courses, the student will be able to use the gained knowledge in composing oral and written literate speech, presenting the assigned material convincingly, communicating in a foreign language in simple situations. He will also be able to make a report within the defined period, debate at a proper level, defend his/her own point of view with arguments, to reverse and answer the listeners’ questions.

Research activities in the chair are carried out in three directions: lexicography, development of language teaching methodologies, philological-linguistic studies of Armenian and Russian languages. One of the important directions in the development of language teaching methods is the development and strengthening of the linguistic-psychological foundations of teaching methodology. In this direction, seminar classes are held every year in the chair, experienced specialists from other universities are invited. In this regard, the chair closely cooperates with State Linguistic University after V. Bryusov and the State Pedagogical University after Kh. Abovyan.

The lecturers of the chair regularly participate in republican and international conferences, trainings with different international programs.

The lecturers of the chair also help students in preparing scientific reports on various topics in Armenian and foreign languages and presenting them in student conferences.
