The Horlivka Institute for Foreign Languages (part of Donbas State Pedagogical University) is an institute of higher education originally located in Horlivka, Ukraine.[1] After the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the institute was evacuated and is now operating in Bakhmut.[1]

History[edit]

In autumn 1949 the Pedagogical Institute for Foreign Languages was created on the basis of Bilotserkivsky teacher training college. In the academic year 1953-1954 Bilotserkivskiy Pedagogical Institute for Foreign Languages was organized.

In September 1954, Bilotserkivskiy Pedagogical Institute for Foreign Languages was transferred from the city of Bila Tserkva, Kyiv oblast, to Horlivka, Donetsk region and named Horlivka Pedagogical Institute for Foreign Languages, which was the first higher education institution in the city.

In July 1963 the sports camp started its activity. It could admit 50 students. In the late 70's Horlivka State Pedagogical Institute for Foreign Languages started two teachers’ training programmes in the fields of the English and French languages with the German language as the second. The term of studying was 5 years. Developing Horlivka State Pedagogical Institute for Foreign Languages was held under the leadership of respected and talented personalities in Arts and History Shvachko Karpo (rector in 1953–1975), Ph.D., Associate Professor Ivanenko Galyna (rector in 1975–1982), Candidate of Historical Sciences, Professor Klitsakov Ivan Oleksiyovych (Rector in 1982–2001).

Since 2012, the institute has become part of the Donbas State Pedagogical University as a separate unit "Horlivka Institute for Foreign Languages."
