at my university actually we used to have a draconian punishment for those of us who tried to shirk extra exams and even expulsion!! moreover, I have participated in an international exchange programme (located in the USA), this was time of real elimination of my insurmountable language barrier
this year I've graduated from MA Programme...Studying process, materials...everything was taught in english and by American, British and Russian teachers. Well, I could say... I had no chance to neglect my english 'cause I had to write my MA thesis in english
"live and learn" effect
What about you? why did you decide to improve your language skills?
