Authentic Video

В рамках данного исследования анализируется целесообразность, а также рассматриваются возможные пути интеграции аутентичных англоязычных видеосюжетов различного типа в процесс преподавания иностранных языков в техническом вузе. Исследуются перспективы использования видеоматериалов с субтитрами по сравнению с печатными учебными пособиями, аудиоподкастами или сюжетами без субтитров, как основа повышения эффективности формирования лексической компетенции. Подробно анализируются результаты, полученные в ходе проведения педагогического эксперимента, направленного на разработку и апробацию элементов практической методики, позволяющей не только значительно улучшить навыки рецептивного и продуктивного владения иноязычной лексикой, но и активизировать знания по грамматике, уменьшить состояние тревожности в процессе восприятия на слух, существенно повысить учебную мотивацию. Within the framework of this study, the expediency as well as possible ways of integrating authentic English-language videos of various types into the process of teaching foreign languages at a technical university have been analyzed and considered. The prospects of using video materials with captions, in comparison with printed textbooks, audio podcasts or videos without captions, as the basis for increasing the effectiveness of the lexical competence formation have been investigated. The results obtained in the course of a pedagogical experiment aimed at developing and testing elements of the practical methodology have been analyzed in detail. This methodology allows not only improving receptive and productive foreign language vocabulary skills significantly, but also activating knowledge of grammar, reducing the state of anxiety in the process of listening, substantially increasing learning motivation.

Foreign Language Acquisition

Some form of bi- and multilingualism means the naturallingual condition for more than the half of the population of the Earth. It is a substantial linguistic aim of the Transcarpathian Hungarian community that beside preservation of their mother tongue (the Hungarian), acquire the state language (the Ukrainian language) and the basis of at least one world language. But this aim is hindered by a lot of things in Transcarpathia. The goal of the study isto shed light on these problems and to find possible solutions based on two researches. The first research, which was carried out in the Tanscarpathian Hungarian schools, was to reveal the conditions and problems of foreign language education. The research threwlight on numerous problems that approve the low level of foreign language knowledge of the Tanscarpathian Hungarian youth. Attitudes and stereotypes influence the success of foreign language acquisition. For this reason in the second part of the study I would like to show, what kind of stereotypes and attitudes can be discovered in the parents (who are lay linguistically and language pedagogically) concerning foreign languages, and within this especially concerning the English language. It appears from the interviews, that nor the attitudes of the state towards foreign languages that was inherited from the soviet system, neither the impassiveness of the parents improves the positive attitudes in the Transcarpathian Hungarian students towards foreign languages, and nor the state, neither the parents approve the motivation of foreign language acquisition.

Abstract The study of foreign languages is obligatory for all pupils in Slovakia, where the first foreign language is English. Conforming to integration legislation, pupils with special educational needs (SEN) are taught in mainstream classes. Foreign language teachers, however, lack training and where not prepared how to apply teaching methods and techniques for pupils with SEN in the regular language learning class. In the study presented, 187 elementary school teachers filled out questionnaires dealing with integration of pupils with SEN and possible inclusion of learners with disabilities in Slovakia and a group of 56 university FLT students - teachers-to-be. Teachers are not forced and/or encouraged to take part in in-service courses or other education on how to teach these pupils. The pre-service teachers are offered courses on SEN teaching, however, these are not compulsory and mostly general education oriented. The majority of in-service and pre-service teachers felt that pupils with SEN should be taught in regular education class. The article also describes the current situation concerning integration of students with SEN using the official statistical data.
