Developing the Conception of the Lifelong Learning in the Academic Discourse of Russia

There is certain statistics that shows the positive tendency of using lifelong learning principles by different educational and social institutions in Europe. We are fully aware of the fact this educational principle is rather productive and efficient for the development of the modern Russian society. Still it is too early to confirm that LLL has been accepted as a key concept for the postuniversity education in Russia. The main issue here is the way to manage lifelong learning at universities as basic educational centers in Russia. Since our specialty is intercultural communication we devote our time and effort to compile productive programs in foreign languages addressed to adult learners basing them on such principles of lifelong learning as gaining knowledge and skills by interactive practice, by the exchange of each other's experience, using the gained in one's work and life.
