The pandemic situation in Slovakia has shown that e-learning teaching within educational institutions has not received sufficient attention so far. The purpose of the paper is to stress the importance of e-learning application in foreign language teaching as well as show the possibilities of creating new educational portals for university students using professional foreign language texts. The KEGA project “Innovative Methods and Forms of Education for Needs and Development of Language and Communication Skills within Technical Professional Foreign Language Study Material” is still ongoing at the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities. The aim is to emphasize the importance of foreign language training for future engineers, and at the same time to look for modern and innovative mixed methods of education, which includes the use of e-learning. The paper compares the study results of more than 200 students in different study programmes at the Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies in Prešov Technical University of Košice achieved during the academic year 2020/2021. The research findings prove that the experimental group of students from different study programmes achieved the best study results in those manufacturing technologies e-tests which are closely connected with their study programme. The results confirm that English teaching focused on tailor-made professional texts and topics within the engineering levels of studies was effective. Teachers also identified the strengths and weaknesses of students within tasks to practice language competencies. By applying e-tests students were able to improve their language skills, which can be practised in selected foreign companies or in their future careers as engineers, technicians, managers or computer programmers.

AbstractThis article reports on the academic performance and experiences of non-native university students, specifically German students in a Dutch academic environment. These students have a substantial dropout rate. In an earlier study, we found correlations between results on language tests and study results. In this study, we used semi-structured interviews with student advisors, students and teachers to investigate in more detail the role of foreign language proficiency in academic success. We identified three major language-related issues: (1) listening and speaking in discussion groups, (2) writing in examinations and assignments, and (3) the negative impact of language proficiency on grades. The quality and readability of the written assignments was repeatedly highlighted as the core problem. Additionally, we investigated the influence of the use of English as an additional foreign language.

Visiting the museum is always useful and has a huge potential for learning foreign languages, because there this process is not singular and individual, and there are opportunities for communication, exchange of views and discussion in the study group. In addition, the Museum can be seen as a window into another culture, actualizing personal development beyond the acquisition of language. Museum exhibits encourage productive (speech) activities and allow for a wide variety of activities and disputes. The cross-cultural experience is initiated by the Museum subject and communication with other students. Visiting museums contributes to the formation of an intercultural dialogue. In the Museum classes, various types of speech activities can be used to promote the progress of such communicative skills as direct and reverse translation, posing various types of questions, making assumptions, evaluating, generalizing, abstracting, drawing conclusions and conclusions. Museum exhibits are an impulse for spontaneous speech, which is the goal of teaching a foreign language. Simultaneously with the development of language competence, students continue to develop such important competencies as tolerant coreference to different views, creativity. The only restriction for classes in museums is the time limit for completing tasks.
