The presentation ceremony of the “Azerbaijani Language” platform (https://azerbaijani.edu.az/) was held on December 28 at Azerbaijan University of Languages. Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and founder and head of IDEA Public Union Leyla Aliyeva, Head of Baku Media Center Arzu Aliyeva, and the project’s author and head Alena Aliyeva attended the event.   This platform, established in accordance with the President's directives on preserving the purity of the Azerbaijani language, aims to facilitate language learning and ensure its systematic teaching. It is designed to make this process more effective and accessible through modern interactive digital resources, and to reach a broad audience, including individuals of all ages and interests.   Before the opening ceremony, guests visited the museum of Azerbaijan University of Languages, familiarized themselves with its activities, and received information about the exhibits on display. The university's rector, Kamal Abdulla, briefed the guests about the work of the higher education institution.   Addressing the ceremony, Kamal Abdulla highlighted the significance of the platform in safeguarding and advancing the Azerbaijani language within the modern digital environment. Referring to President Ilham Aliyev’s remarks on the preservation and development of the Azerbaijani language during a meeting dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, the rector noted the strong need for such a platform. He emphasized that the university’s scientists and young specialists had successfully and honorably fulfilled this important task. In her speech, the author and head of the project, Alena Aliyeva, highlighted the important role of education in society and congratulated the participants on the presentation of the platform. She expressed gratitude to the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan University of Languages, and all project participants for their support in implementing the project.   Vice-Rector of Azerbaijan University of Languages Jala Garibova and project coordinator Sabina Aliyeva subsequently presented the “Azerbaijani Language” platform, providing detailed information on its objectives, functional capabilities, and content tailored to different age groups and users.   It is noted that the Azerbaijani language learning process on the platform is built upon four key skills. Materials and tasks for reading and analysis, listening and comprehension, writing, and speaking are reflected on the platform. In addition to this, the platform includes sections on grammar, sociolinguistics, vocabulary, and resources. The materials are presented across six levels, each of which has been prepared taking into account the corresponding vocabulary and grammatical rules. This will significantly facilitate the learning of our language for foreigners.   Minister of Science and Education Emin Amrullayev, who delivered a congratulatory address, stated that the “Azerbaijani Language” platform would make an important contribution to improving the quality of teaching and learning the state language and expanding digital educational resources. He emphasized that such initiatives play a special role in developing the Azerbaijani language in line with modern challenges.   Speaking about efforts undertaken in accordance with President Ilham Aliyev’s instructions to preserve the purity of the Azerbaijani language, the minister said: “The essence of the platform is to teach our language to people whose native language is not Azerbaijani. The platform will be especially useful for foreign students studying in Azerbaijan, foreigners wishing to work in our country, and those who want to learn Azerbaijani as a foreign language. The platform is built on English, but it can also be translated into other languages. I am confident that the platform will be successful.”   A video dedicated to the “Azerbaijani Language” platform was then screened.   An artistic program was also presented as part of the ceremony.   The event concluded with commemorative photos.   It should be noted that holding the presentation ceremony on the eve of December 31 - World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day - once again underscored that the Azerbaijani language is one of the key values uniting Azerbaijanis worldwide.
