Classes include learning of Belarusian language at the advanced level. Their goal is to teach students the proper use of complex grammatical structures in speaking and writing and effective use of the lexicon associated with the professions, transport, trade and services. The syllabus covers such aspects of grammar as: conjugation of verbs (including verbs of motion), the types and use of adverbs in sentences, prepositional constructions, subjunctive, possessive pronouns, the use of instrumental case forms in various expressions, adjectives with suffix-awat.

Their knowledge of grammar, among other things, students practice by conducting extensive interviews and discussions.
