In the 1930s thanks to such famous scientists as Julian Krzyżanowski and Stanisław Kolbuszewski, the number of subjects connected with the Polish culture has increased at the Faculty of Philology and Philosophy and the Latvian society was introduced to the numerous works of these professors, published in different publications in Latvia. After the Second World War, Polish language has been taught within Russian philology with the aim of comparison Eastern and Western Slavic language groups.

Para garantizar la continuidad educativa interrumpida por el coronavirus, la Universidad Hassan 1 en Marruecos y la Universidad de Angers en Francia y agrupar un proyecto de tándem electrónico para enseñar francés como lengua extranjera (FLE). Del lado angevino, La experiencia permitirá a los estudiantes de las didácticas FLE realizar su pasantía con una audiencia que pertenece a diferentes entornos geográficos y culturales ; en el lado marroquí, estudiantes de Hassan 1 Universidad dieciocho estudiantes elegidos en dos establecimientos, vivirá en momentos de apertura para desarrollar sus habilidades lingüísticas y comunicativas con los nativos franceses. Los tándems están diseñados en función de las necesidades de los estudiantes marroquíes con un programa temático concertado por los gerentes educativos de las dos universidades. La dimensión intercultural será la base de esta experiencia, cuyo objetivo principal es utilizar nuevas tecnologías para comprender al Otro en sus aspectos lingüísticos, culturales y de civilización To ensure educational continuity which has been broken by the Coronavirus, Hassan 1 University in Morocco and the University of Angers in France have pooled an E-tandem project for teaching French as a foreign language (FLE). On the Angevin side, the experience will allow students of the FLE didactics to carry out their internship with an audience belonging to different geographic and cultural backgrounds; on the Moroccan side, eighteen students from two different schools belonging to Hassan 1 University have been chosen to live opening moments to develop their linguistic and communicative skills with French natives. The tandems are designed based on the needs of Moroccan students with a thematic program concerted by the educational managers of the two universities. The intercultural dimension will be the foundation of this experience, the main aim of which is to use new technologies to understand the Others as far as their linguistic, cultural and civilizational aspects. Covid 19 a certainement ankylosé tous les secteurs actifs stratégiques des sociétés à l’échelle planétaire. Mais la ténacité du virus a paradoxalement engendré des para systèmes pour contourner les méfaits afin de sauver l’humanité de l’emprise de cette pandémie meurtrière. Au Maroc, comme partout dans le monde, le domaine de l’enseignement n’est pas le moins touché. Mis à l’épreuve par un ennemi imprévisible mettant la vie humaine en péril, les établissements universitaires doivent faire face au monstre et relever le défi afin d’assurer la continuité pédagogique Au Maroc, parmi les cinq fonctions de l’Ecole, stipulées par Le Conseil Supérieur de l’Education, de la Formation et de la Recherche scientifique dans le cadre de la vision stratégique de la Réforme (2015-2030), on trouve celle relative à la Recherche et à l’innovation. Certes, innover, en général, et surtout en pédagogie est un acte complexe. Parfois, l’action d’innover est synonyme d’aventure qui pourrait conduire à l’échec ou à la réussite. Mais quand les facteurs de l’innovation sont disponibles, l’art du management consiste à saisir cette opportunité pour insuffler un esprit de team building afin d’ouvrir de nouveaux horizons, dépasser « la vision du tunnel» et aplanir les obstacles en construisant de nouveaux paradigmes scientifiques et professionnels susceptibles de s’ériger en mode de fonctionnement efficient. C’est dans ce cadre que les deux universités ont mis en commun un projet E-tandem pour l’enseignement du français langue étrangère ( FLE). Du côté angevin, l’expérience va permettre aux étudiants du didactique du FLE d’effectuer leur stage avec un public appartenant à un sol géographique et culturel différent ; du côté marocain, les étudiants de l’université Hassan 1er – vingt-huit étudiant (e) s choisi(e)s dans quatre établissements , vont vivre des moments d’ouverture pour développer leurs compétences linguistiques et communicatives avec des natifs français. Les tandems sont conçus à partir des besoins des étudiants marocains avec un programme thématique concerté par les responsables pédagogiques des deux universités. La dimension interculturelle sera le socle de cette expérience dont le but principal consiste à se servir des nouvelles technologies pour comprendre l’Autre dans ses aspects linguistiques, culturels et civilisationnels.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) has become the standard used to describe and evaluate students’ command of a second or foreign language. It is an internationally acknowledged standard language proficiency framework which many countries have adopted such as China, Thailand, Japan and Taiwan. Malaysia Ministry of Education is aware and realise the need for the current English language curriculum to be validated as to reach the international standard as prescribed by the CEFR. The implementation of CEFR has begun at primary and secondary level since 2017 and now higher education institutions are urged to align their English Language Curriculum to CEFR as part of preparation in receiving students who have been taught using CEFR-aligned curriculum at schools by year 2022. This critical reflection article elucidates the meticulous processes that we have embarked on in re-aligning our English Language Curriculum to the standard and requirements of CEFR. The paper concludes with a remark that the alignment of the English curriculum at the university needs full support from the management in ensuring that all the stakeholders are fully prepared, informed and familiar with the framework.

Oriented Approach

This article is devoted to the features and benefits of a professionally-oriented approach to teaching a foreign language in non-linguistic high schools on the example of engineering education. According to the latest standards of higher education (FSES 3++), students must have sufficient knowledge of a foreign language for business communication in oral and written forms. However, teachers of high schools face a number of difficulties in the formation of a foreign language communicative competence offuture engineers, namely: a constant decrease of a number offoreign language practical classes in a curriculum of a high school and a weak motivation of students. In our opinion, a professionally-oriented approach to teaching helps to solve these problems and make the process of learning a foreign language more intensive, focused and effective. That is, now, the development of strategies, methodological models and tools for teaching English, with a focus on professional communication, is an actual task for an English teacher at the University. This article presents some methods and techniques that stimulate students of engineering faculty to professionally oriented communication in English. Much attention is paid to both active teaching methods used during practical English classes, and individual work, which allows students to get more useful information and skills within the practical classes given, and also allows students to develop the need for individual knowledge acquisition and comprehension, thereby providing the increased interest of communication in a foreign language and increasing motivation to learn a foreign language.
