Tallinna Tehnikaülikooli Keelte ja Kommunikatsiooni Keskus on üks juhtivatest ülikoolitasandi keeleõpet korraldavatest üksustest Eestis ning kõrgelt hinnatud nii kodu- kui ka välisriikide kolleegide seas. Keskuse õppejõud on pikaajalise pedagoogilise kogemusega ning kõrgelt kvalifitseeritud oma ala asjatundjad, kes on end pidevalt täiendanud rahvusvahelistes projektides ning koolitusprogrammides. Keelte ja kommunikatsiooni keskus alustas uue nime all tegevust 1. jaanuaril 2017 TTÜ Majandusteaduskonna dekanaadi koosseisus. Keskuse eelkäijaks oli TTÜ keeltekeskus, mis loodi 1. juulil 1992.a. võõrkeelte lektoraadi ja eesti keele lektoraadi liitmisel. Keelte ja kommunikatsiooni keskuse eesmärgiks on
- Tallinna Tehnikaülikooli keeleõppe korraldamine;
- keeleõppe ning keelealane arendus- ja teadustegevus;
- teadmusteenuste, sh täiendõppeteenuste osutamine. The goal of instruction at the Centre for Language and Communication of TalTech is to grant learners (students, staff and members of the public) sufficient linguistic and communicative proficiency, both in spoken and written modes, that would enable them to follow developments in their professional field and operate effectively in an international environment. The Language Centre of Tallinn University of Technology was founded on 1 July 1992 by merging the Departments of Foreign Languages and the Estonian Language. Starting from 1 January 2017 it is called Centre for Language and Communication and is an administrative unit of the School of Business and Governance. The Centre for Language and Communication is responsible for language studies at TalTech, including further training of the university staff, for development and research activities in the fields of language and language learning and for providing language-related services. The Centre for Language and Communication has attempted to respond to the changes in educational and professional contexts, and the needs for both local and international students and academics to enhance their proficiency of foreign languages to meet those needs.

🍂 A new semester has begun for our TalTech staff Estonian language courses!

Last week, our B1 and B2 groups met for their first lessons, ready to build their Estonian language skills in a supportive, engaging learning environment.

Learning a language is about much more than grammar and vocabulary. It is about building confidence, connecting with colleagues, and becoming part of the community.

We wish all our learners an inspiring semester filled with new words, meaningful conversations, and steady progress. Edu!

Sel nädalal käis Heli-Anne Kotkas TalTechi väitlusklubist külas aine „Eesti keele suuline ja kirjalik väljendusõpetus“ erinevatel rühmadel.

Tudengid said lähemalt tuttavaks väitlusklubi tegevusega ning proovisid ka ise argumente üles ehitada ja põhjendada.

Aitäh, Heli-Anne, põnevate ja praktiliste kohtumiste eest! 😊

This week, Mattia Marchese and Kamil Błasiak from the TalTech Debate Club joined our Public Speaking classes for two sessions on debate and argumentation.

On the first day, they introduced us to the world of debate, shared examples of debate motions, and talked about the skills we can develop through debating. Students also learned the P-SEXI framework for building strong arguments and practised using it in a short exercise.

On the second day, we explored different types of logical fallacies and discussed why people use them in speeches and arguments. We finished with a debate following the British Parliamentary format, giving students a great opportunity to practise building arguments, responding to opposing views, and thinking on their feet.

Thank you, Mattia and Kamil, for two interesting and practical sessions!

It’s demonstration speech time in our Public Speaking class! 🎤

This time, Maarja shows us how to make a delicious pumpkin soup. 🎃🥣 A demonstration speech explains a process clearly while showing the audience how to do it.

Watch Maarja in action, and maybe even try her recipe at home! 👇

Our Public Speaking students have given their first speeches of the semester. A chance to introduce themselves, get to know one another and take those first steps towards becoming more confident speakers.

Many more speeches to come! 👏

The new academic year has kicked off! 🎓✨

Our first day was an inspiring one for lecturers, with thought-provoking discussions on AI and the ways it is reshaping learning, teaching, communication and the world around us.
Plenty of big questions, fresh ideas and food for thought as we look ahead to the academic year 2026/2027.

Here’s to an inspiring year of learning, teaching and meaningful communication!

Eile käisime kolleegidega keelekeskuse igakevadisel väljasõidul. Sel korral sõitsime ringi Harju- ja Läänemaal, külastades erinevaid kultuuriloolisi paiku ja muuseume.
