The article shows that increasing the foreign-language competence of university teachers is equivalent to increasing the quality of the labour force. It is concluded that the language training of faculty is not their private concern, but is important for the university itself in order to ensure the quality of education, its compliance with international standards and an essential factor in international inter-university competition. It is proposed to move to compulsory or optional teaching of a foreign language by a university for its teachers.
