KMT (The initials “KMT” stand for the Azeri words translated
as “Communication, Culture, Technology”) was established in 1999.
KMT was establishment as the result of the outsourcing of the
language training section from the HR & Training Department
of a large International Oil Company. It employs the former language
teaching staff of that organization with their very successful
experience in teaching languages to business people since 1992.
KMT offers Russian,
Azerbaijani and English Language Training for business
people and members of their families at all levels in different
programs.
The KMT staff use modern language teaching technologies to teach
languages and the latest teaching materials. Most of the teaching
materials were developed and published by KMT professionals and
are specifically designed to support the language training.
At KMT languages are taught using the “Method of Active Teaching”.
The method is based on the some of the most advanced methodology
and research methods of proven successful intensive foreign language
learning. The method takes into consideration the age of students,
the lack of time that business people can dedicate to language
learning, and the often irregular attendance of students at lessons
due to their business trips, meetings and work pressures.
Using this method and under the guidance of qualified teachers,
KMT students can achieve effective everyday communication in their
foreign language study in a short period of time.
All KMT lessons include an excellent stock of handouts, books,
videos, tapes and computer-assisted language learning programs.
KMT runs a course of lectures
on Azerbaijan's history, culture, its customs and traditions.
It helps foreigners to understand the history and culture of Azerbaijan
and Baku through lectures, practical classes, excursions and Language
Club activities.
The practical experience of teaching languages in the working
environment has helped KMT to develop special business
courses
KMT's training manuals, books and teaching technologies are presented
on regular base at International conferences, seminars and workshops.
Since December 2003 KMT has become a member of the American
Chamber of Commerce in Azerbaijan.
