Concept of Language Solution for Foreign Students from Didactic Perspective

摘要

This article provides readers with an insight into the process of teaching/learning the inflectional West Slavic Czech language at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove. The contribution is elaborated from several points of view, on the background of commonly featured key teaching/learning theories grouped into the following paradigms of behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism and humanism. Description of the learning/teaching process is accompanied by demonstration of basic principles which were stated by Comenius already in the 17th century but which are incredibly eternal, vivid and efficient up to now. Principles and approaches are illustrated in both face2face classes and in work in a virtual learning space in a sophistically designed Czech Language e-course for Foreigners. The course is highly adaptive it can be modified in accordance with a current situation to foster needs and abilities of participants from various cultural backgrounds. The end of contribution brings findings from three-year experience with implementation of the e-course supporting face2face teaching/learning of Czech language and summarizing remarks on learning languages and teaching techniques. Provided analysis demonstrates how educators can use the learning /teaching overviews and sciences together with in here described e-course to design and run more effective formal and informal learning environments.
