Výučba slovenčiny ako cudzieho jazyka cez prizmu projektového vyučovania

Abstract

The paper reflects on the issue of the educational process, in which it is necessary to apply such teaching methods that will arouse students’ interest in learning and acquiring new knowledge. The principles of communication in teaching Slovak as a foreign language should also be placed in the given context aiming to develop students’ communication competence. The paper also seeks to justify that, while teaching Slovak as a foreign language, the balance of the individual components (language - communication - culture) needs to be ensured, while the latter is not always given due attention. This unfavourable phenomenon can be eliminated by (out-of) school activities through project teaching, which encourages students to actively participate in the teaching process and enriches their knowledge of culture.
