In the beginning was a word
The article is concerned with different forms of the methodical work at the philological faculty. They are: the annual edition of numerous teacher training books, programmes, dictionaries, handbooks for writing course and diploma papers, for doing practice (pedagogical, folkloristic etc); the control of self-dependent student's work; the close connection with school. The amphasis is on the word as a means of communication, of artistic interpretation of the world and as a means of education and formation of a personality.
