Nicosia, Cyprus, May 27, 2026. The Cuban Ambassador to Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, participated this Wednesday in the awards ceremony for the top students of French, Chinese, German, Russian, Greek, and Spanish at the Language Center of the Cyprus University of Technology at its Limassol campus.
The event recognizes the most distinguished academic records in language training at the aforementioned Cypriot institution. Pino Martínez congratulated all the award winners, especially Christina Trasyvouloy, the only outstanding student in Spanish at the third level of study.
The Cuban diplomat expressed his gratitude for the invitation and the opportunity to participate in this stimulating practice of the institution, which promotes enriching approaches to foreign language learning in conjunction with the various undergraduate programs offered by the centre. Alongside proposing ideas for upcoming courses, the event included interactive initiatives with Spanish language students through talks and exchanges on literature, film, and cultural heritage in Cuba.
This was a timely opportunity to learn about some experiences and practical uses of Artificial Intelligence in language teaching, without underestimating the perspective and role of teachers, whose tools can support lesson planning, materials development, and personalized learning, enriching students' education from a linguistic standpoint as well.
The Cuban diplomat thanked both Professor Gabriella David and the Center's Director, Ms. Androulla Athanasiou, for the opportunity to interact with other authorities of the prestigious academic institution and welcomed any potential actions that would contribute to promoting educational and cultural collaboration between Cuba and Cyprus.
