Students will be acquainted with the basic methodological procedures of acquiring and developing speech skills. Emphasis is placed on the connection of lingvodidactic theory with teaching practice in the relevant type of schools, as well as on the development of skills in the preparation, implementation and subsequent evaluation (reflection) of the teaching unit.
