The interest in studying foreign languages at the educational institution was traced back to the Volyn gymnasium (lyceum), where the best language experts of European universities and native speakers were invited to teach. Later in Kremenets Lyceum (early twentieth century) German, French and Latin languages were studied in depth. In the early years of the institution's formation, foreign languages were taught by V. Miller, E. Tarlevska, E. Slonikevych, E. Yastrebska (German); E. Schmil (French and German), V. Hrabovska-Stolletova, V. Kolchynska, G. Lipkovska, J. Poniatowska, E. Sokolnicka, J. Vygard-Halstein, E. Franciszek (French).

The tradition of studying Romance and Germanic languages continued in Kremenets Teachers' (Pedagogical) Institute. Highly qualified specialists united around the head of the department T. Ivanova: G. Besarab - teacher of English, Z. Aleksandrova, G. Pidipryhora - teachers of German.
