The aim of the research presented in this paper was to study the contribution of theatre pedagogy to the social and individual development of students in the teaching of German as a foreign language. The target group included respondents of majority Serbian nationality and minority ethnic Roma. Semi-structured group discussions were used as an interactive data collection technique in qualitative research. The results suggest that directed theatre pedagogy activities contribute to a reduction in the level of social distance in an ethnically heterogeneous group, and that intergroup contacts in this type of activity stimulate peer interaction and a sense of unity regardless of individual differences. Social development has also affected individual development on three levels: conative, cognitive and affective. In view of the fact that supradisciplinary collaboration between theatrology, pedagogy and language teaching methodology is conducive to the creation of a context of active collaborative learning, the concepts of theatre pedagogy should be integrated into curricular and/or extracurricular activities. In this way, students from deprived groups and from the majority population would be motivated to enrich intergroup relationships in the system of formal education with their talents and abilities, which is a precondition for developing intercultural education and awareness of its importance.

This paper examines the contribution of theatre pedagogy, implemented in the initial education of German language and literature students, to the development of teaching competencies defined in strategic documents. The target group of the research consisted of German language teachers who were members of the Academic Theater of German Students during their bachelor and master studies. A semi-structured group discussion was used as the data collection technique, while the data analysis and interpretation theater pedagogy methods, they should be integrated into the curricula of study programs dealing with the education of future foreign language teachers. were performed using a qualitative research method. The results have shown that theatre pedagogy contributes to the development of professional, psychological, didactic and mod- erational-mediational skills of future teachers of German as a foreign language. Having in mind the spectrum of teaching competencies that are developed through the application of

The use of creative methods in teaching a foreign language is one of the factors that contribute to increasing the motivation of students, which is one of the most important prerequisites for success. The importance of creative teaching of English is confirmed by surveys and analysis of learning outcomes, because a great role in the comprehensive development of students is played by the teacher, in particular, the teacher of foreign languages, who, above all, must develop high moral qualities in their educators and build relationships with them on the basis of mutual understanding, mutual assistance, trust and mutual respect in the learning process. The problem of formation and development of a humane personality is dominant in higher education, and the decisive role of the teacher in the formation of human qualities of the student is confirmed by practice and experience. The humanization of the relationship between teacher and student is the basis of the educational function of teaching, the results of which the student will carry out in various activities, in different versions of interpersonal relationships. Goal. The purpose of this work is to analyze the basic principles of comprehensive development of students during language classes. The article emphasizes the need for a creative approach to classes, self-development of the teacher, their mastery of new technologies for learning, including distance learning. Methodology. The purpose and specificity of the study determined the use of the method of description with elements of comparative analysis for a comprehensive coverage of the problem. Results. The article emphasizes the importance of a foreign language teacher's choice of learning strategies, materials and techniques for achieving overall language success.

Abstract Over the past few decades the interest in communication apprehension has increased among researchers and teachers in the field of second/foreign language acquisition (SLA/FLA).The present paper is set between the macro perspective of the social-psychological period - by giving a general view of communication apprehension (CA) - and the situation-specific period - by taking into consideration the immediate educational context.The paper focuses on the phenomenon of communication apprehension among the Croatian university level students in a foreign language classroom setting.In particular, it investigates if there is a difference in the total level of communication apprehension between undergraduate and graduate students of English Language and Literature.Furthermore, it explores whether there is a relationship between different aspects of communication apprehension and the total level of communication apprehension and which background factor is the best predictor of communication apprehension among the students.The first part of the paper brings a theoretical background of the main concepts in this research, whereas the second part of the paper reports on the research itself.Two sets of instruments, questionnaires completed by the students and in-depth interviews conducted among the teachers, were used for the purpose of this study.The results show that the year of study is not a significant predictor of the communication apprehension level which students experience.Among all variables included in the analysis, the only significant predictors of communication apprehension are evaluations.

The issues of the student engagement in science-related activities and the development of students’ language communicative competence are especially relevant in a technical university, where due to the prevailing of the Sciences, the professional communicative competence has become increasingly vital. The goal of this article is to examine how interdisciplinary scientific conferences for students held in foreign languages can foster the foreign language communicative competence of students. In the article, we present the definition and the three basic models of communicative competence. A method of pedagogical observation is used that represents comprehension and analysis of goal-oriented preparation of students for practical scientific conferences. We reveal the fact that interdisciplinary scientific conferences for students held in foreign languages allow educators to foster the foreign language communicative competence of students and deepen their knowledge in professional area, as well as to equip them with research skills since students’ participation in the conferences increases their attention and focus, motivates them to practice critical thinking skills of high level.

(1) Background: The study of susceptibility biomarkers in the immigrant workforce integrated into the social tissue of European host countries is always a challenge, due to high individual heterogeneity and the admixing of different ethnicities in the same workplace. These workers having distinct cultural backgrounds, beliefs, diets, and habits, as well as a poor knowledge of the foreign language, may feel reluctant to donate their biological specimens for the biomonitoring research studies. (2) Methods: A model predicting ethnicity-specific susceptibility based on principal component analysis has been conceived, using the genotype frequency of the investigated populations available in publicly accessible databases. (3) Results: Correlations among ethnicities and between ethnic and polymorphic genes have been found, and low/high-risk profiles have been identified as valuable susceptibility biomarkers. (4) Conclusions: In the absence of workers’ consent or access to blood genotyping, ethnicity represents a good indicator of the subject’s genotype. This model, associating ethnicity-specific genotype frequency with the susceptibility biomarkers involved in the metabolism of toxicants, may replace genotyping, ensuring the necessary safety and health conditions of workers assigned to hazardous jobs.
