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.

Resumo O presente artigo propõe-se obter informações sobre o estilo pedagógico de um professor em formação a partir do estudo dos atos de identidade, com os quais os falantes, nas trocas comunicativas, revelam sua identidade e o papel social que almejam alcançar e que são produzidos pelos aprendizes de italiano língua estrangeira na aula de língua. Como referência teórica e metodológica, adotaremos uma abordagem interessada na observação do funcionamento interacional como espaço de mobilização e de construção das competências de linguagem em situações pedagógicas.

Palavras-Chave: Atos de identidade. Interação. Formação.   Abstract This article studies acts of identity – the linguistic comments with which speakers, in communicative exchanges, reveal their identity and the social role they wish to play – produced in interactions between the teacher and the student, by learners whose mother tongue is typologically similar to the foreign language they are learning. The analysis of the identity roles performed by learners in foreign language classrooms, in relation to the pedagogical approaches, allow us to identify some necessary characteristics of the teacher as to the aspects they are able or unable to explore in the classroom and the consequent construction of global teacher education plans. As the theoretical and methodological framework, we will follow an approach based on references extracted from studies covering the training of foreign language teachers. Keywords: Acts of identity.
