The article provides a theoretical analysis of a situation as the basis for the emergence of semantic relationships of statements in a dialogue. Consideration of the situation and the specifics of its reflection in the semantic content of statements will allow establishing how a dialogue is governed by the situation. The relevance of the study is related to the need for scientific development and practical implementation of the system of teaching dialogic speech, which will effectively develop students’ quality skills to use living spoken language in practice. Speech activity is marked by important linguistic parameters. A person’s ability to perform speech activity is seen primarily as an opportunity to form statements that correspond to certain situations. The situation affects the structure of certain forms of oral speech, in particular its dialogic variety. Linguists consider the situation to be an extralinguistic factor of speech activity and an important element that significantly affects the speech structure. Psychologists treat the situation as one of the important criteria for studying the regularities of the forming and functioning of mental processes. The situation is traditionally considered at the level of functioning as well as a methodological category. There prevails an opinion that it is necessary to make a detailed analysis of the features of the speech situation components on the basis of which scholars-practitioners single out the most typical and controlled ones in order to successfully apply them in foreign language teaching. The important methodological parameters obtained as a result will be the situational basis for building an effective model of foreign language teaching / learning.

IMPORTANCE OF THE DIDACTICS OF NON-LINGUISTIC DISCIPLINES IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING Learning does not mean anything but learning with all your senses and feelings. The young generation lives nowadays in a complex media world to which foreign language didactics also has to respond. Educators and teachers should use numerous materials that do not only develop language skills, but also conveycultural approaches. The teaching of non-linguistic disciplines plays a key role in foreign language teaching, and foreign language teaching is currently very modern in its cultural context. The paper attempts to outline the existence of the so-called didactics of non-linguistic disciplines in foreign language teaching in the Czech Republic. On the basis of a questionnaire survey among foreign language teachers, the extent to which foreign language teachers are confronted with the content of didactics of non-language subjects was examined. The authors were also interested whether there are differences between teachers of different foreign languages (English, German, Russian, French), and which preferences teachers of these foreign languages manifest when choosing their teaching material. We believe that the content of the didactics of non-linguistic disciplines is an essential part of foreign language teaching and can greatly enrich this field.

This article aims to describe the development of the teaching–learning process of Foreign Language, with the use of the CLIL (Integrated Content and Language Teaching) approach in the teaching of English, within the framework of a Bilingual Program, within an emergency context of Remote Teaching. We also seek to reflect on the adequacy of technological tools in the process of teaching Foreign Language – specifically the English Language – for a certain age group, as well as to evaluate the elaboration and adaptation of materials, activities and pedagogical approaches to the reality of Remote Teaching during the period of isolation. For this reflection, our analysis aims to point out possibilities and limitations, both of the CLIL (Integrated Teaching of Content and Language) approach, as well as of the modality of distance learning for the age group observed. Thus, in addition to presenting what was accomplished during the research, we intend to reflect on possible paths and contribute with good practices that make the English Language Teaching process more meaningful and proficient, within the Modality Of Distance Education (EaD).We defend in this research the search for strategies in a digital format, for a Foreign Language Teaching, which develops in a more natural and motivating way, as well as the need for public policies aimed at a post-pandemic education of COVID-19, in the sense of ludicity and inclusion, aiming at the development of skills and skills of the student, from elementary school, transforming information into knowledge.

Language Teaching And Learning

This overview article initially focuses on early connections between dramatic art, teaching, learning, and living, followed by a brief account of how Great Britain took on a pioneering role with regard to the establishment of drama as a school subject, method and educational sub-discipline. It then focuses on how drama pedagogy in foreign language teaching and learning has developed as a specific field of research and practice since the 1970s, acknowledging the important contributions to the field made by scholars and practitioners from outside Great Britain. An overview of current practice in the field is given by presenting different (small-scale and large-scale) forms of staging language, literature and culture. The article concludes by proposing a model for a „Performative Fremdsprachendidaktik“ (Performative Foreign Languages Didactics) and by arguing that in the future “performative” be used as an umbrella term to describe forms of foreign language teaching and learning that derive from the performing arts.

Lifelong learning has become an essential part of each profession. For this reason, personalized and adaptive learning has been drawing attention of professionals in the field of formal as well as informal education in the last few years. The effort has been made to design adaptive study supports regarding students' requirements, abilities and current knowledge. In the Czech Republic, particularly at the University of Ostrava, a team of educators, didactics professionals and IT professionals has been applying their mind to personalized learning in the electronic environment. They have been developing a suitable learning environment to fit students' learning styles. The paper describes a general model and a theory of adaptive eLearning from the perspective of the University of Ostrava professionals. It also demonstrates hard facts of the research in the field of language learning. This paper, Individualization of foreign language teaching through adaptive eLearning, is an extended version of the paper published in the ICWL 2015 workshop proceedings.

<p class="Abstract">The aim of foreign language teaching is to enable learners to use the&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1rem;">language they have learned to communicate and interact in their lives.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">This is why teaching/learning no longer gives priority to structure but&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">rather to communication and interaction. It is by communicating that&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">they learn the structure. The foreign language class is a place where&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">learners use the language learned. Therefore, it is necessary for the&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">teacher to create interesting activities that can encourage learners to&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">use the language to communicate. Teaching French as a foreign&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">language from the first semester to the seventh semester in the French&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Department, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, we use the Alterego+ manual.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">It replaced Alterego that we had used for over 5 years. After having&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">studied it for 7 semesters, we hope that students can present&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">themselves at DELF B2. As it provides language course level B1, it only&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">want to talk about thepractice class with Alterego+ 3 that has been&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">done for 2 semesters. Alterego+ 3 is published by Hachette, Français Langue Etrangère and targets&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">learners who have acquired the level A2. It aims to acquire skills described in level B1 of the Common&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">European Framework of Reference for Languages (CECRL), within a 150-hour course of&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">teaching/learning activities. This allows learners to present themselves at DELF level B1. However in our&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">department the B1 language courses are only lasted about 106 hours. How can one teach the limited&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">duration B1 level?</span></p>
