The aim of the research is to find out how participation of students in international scientific conferences influences the development of their academic skills in foreign languages. The use of foreign languages in the academic study and research has increased in recent years. At the Latvia University of Agriculture in co-operation with three faculties – the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of Engineering and the Forest Faculty such conferences have been organized already for six years. The students of all other faculties of the university are also participating with their reports and publications. Student conferences being extra-curriculum activities form the environment where foreign languages play an important role being not only the languages of the contributions but also they are used in the process of communication among the conference participants from different countries. An enquiry among the participants of the conference is presented and the results are analysed.
