The Role of the Azerbaijani Language in Academic Communication

ABSTRACT

The subject “Business and Academic Communication in Azerbaijani Language” has been taught in all specialties of higher education institutions starting from the 2020–2021 academic year, providing students with basic knowledge in academic and business communication and equipping them with relevant knowledge and skills. Academic communication is divided into two parts: oral (lecture, report, speech) and written (textbook, monograph, dissertation, article, etc.). Since the scientific style of the Azerbaijani language is sufficiently developed, specialists can establish high-level academic communication in this language. Lectures are given in any specialty in higher education institutions, reports are made at scientific conferences, dissertations and articles are written. In addition, the opportunity has been gained to publish scientific articles in the language in which they were written outside the borders of our country. The article describes the forms of oral academic communication, their characteristics, differences from each other, and the main requirements for them, as well as provides information about several foreign journals (Turkey) that accept scientific articles in the Azerbaijani language in the humanitarian fields free of charge and are indexed in reputable international databases. Observational, comparative, and descriptive methods were used during the research. The research may be useful for young teachers, researchers, and doctoral students starting their pedagogical activities in higher education institutions.
