Обоснование открытию языкового центра «Русский мир» в Ошском технологическом университете.
Открытие центра продиктовано необходимостью интеграции в международное образовательное пространство. При решении этой задачи возникли ряд проблем касающихся, в основном, языкового барьера по русскому языку.

Во-вторых, анализ письменных работ и устной речи студентов по владению русским языком первых курсов показывают следующую картину: 10%-хорошо, 20%-удовлетворительно и 70%- неудовлетворительно. При этом необходимо отметить, что техническая и научная литература, в основном, издано на русском языке.
Исходя из этого, как можно говорить о реализации одного их важнейших направлений международной деятельности ОшТУ- академической мобильности студентов.
Основные цели и задачи:
- способствовать развитию академической мобильности студентов и преподавателей;
- привлечение иностранных волонтеров – преподавателей носителей языка;
- заключение договоров с вузами Российской Федерации для реализации программы по обмену студентами;
- способствовать получению грантов и стипендии для студентов ОшТУ, обучающихся в вузах РФ;
- реализация дополнительных языковых программ по русскому языку;
- организация олимпиад и конкурсов по русскому языку;
- участие в городских и республиканских языковых олимпиадах и конкурсах;
- организация различных мероприятий, фестивалей и конкурсов с целью глубокого ознакомления с культурной и бытом русского народа;
- организация мероприятий, направленных на укрепление и развитие дружественных отношений между Кыргызстаном и Российской Федерацией.
Для реализации данных целей и задач необходимо следующие решения:
- Открыт штатную единицу-зав. Кабинетом «Русский мир»
- Выделить аудиторию 1/319 для кабинета.
- Приобрести мебель и оргтехнику, соответствующих кабинету.
- Укомплектовать художественной и методической литературой.
- Привлечь преподавателя- волонтера.
