ИЗУЧЕНИЕ ИНОСТРАННЫХ ЯЗЫКОВ В СССР В 1950-Х – 1980-Х ГОДАХ (НА ОСНОВЕ ДАННЫХ ОФИЦИАЛЬНОЙ СТАТИСТИКИ)

Abstract

The article analyzes the situation with learning foreign languages on the basis of official statistics. The main feature of the postwar decades is the gradual transition from a mass study of the German language to the study of the English language. This trend was observed in virtually all republics of the Soviet Union. Another feature of this period is a significant increase in the number of schoolchildren learning a foreign language.
