Study programme Board
The study programme fully respects the mission and strategic goals enshrined in the Long-term Plan of the Comenius University for 2021-2027, as well as the mission and strategic goals enshrined in the Long-term Plan of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University in Bratislava for 2021-2027.
The Study programme Board of the Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures ensures that both the mission and the strategic goals are reflected in the Study Programme and oversees that these goals are fulfilled, monitored and, if necessary, refined, or take measures that will lead to their fulfillment.
Implementation of strategic goals and objectives of the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in the Study programe Didactics of Foreign languages and Literatures.
Following the strategic goals of the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in the Didactics of Foreign languages and literatures in the field of education, we follow the latest current trends in education and implement them in our study programme in all its components, especially didactic, but also lingvodidactic and literary-didactic. In this sense, we also lead doctoral students in teaching, but also other supporting activities, such as lectures with foreign personalities, presentations of book publications and especially international scientific conferences of doctoral students, which combines the educational component with scientific research (https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/ustavy/ustav-filologickych-studii/podujatia-ustavu/). By exchanging experiences, we follow national as well as international trends in the educational, as well as professional and scientific worlds. With its content focus, our Study Programme respects the current state of scientific knowledge and the needs of society in the field of philologically educated university teachers or researchers. We support student mobility, our doctoral students have participated in long-term study stays at the universities in Vienna, Graz, Raguz, Humboldt University in Vienna, etc. We regularly re-evaluate and update the content of the offered compulsory and optional courses and adapt it to a specific group of listeners, which we have already taken into account when designing the original content of many courses, where we have left room for just such targeted flexibility. Additional flexibility is also provided to students by individual modules, in which they have the opportunity to choose courses according to their focus. We implement new technologies into teaching, in the field of linguistic courses they are e.g. methods of corpus linguistics. We lead doctoral students to use new technologies not only in teaching, but also by involving them in such focused projects. Linguistically oriented doctoral students collaborated in two KEGA projects on collocations in the teaching of German as a foreign language. (https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/ustavy/ustav-filologickych-studii/veda-a-vyskum/ ), in which were co-authors of lessons in three exercise books
(Kollokationen I, II, III). Teaching, research and new technologies are also combined in other didactically oriented courses, as evidenced by project information.
In the field of scientific research, in addition to the already mentioned international conference of doctoral students (https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/ustavy/ustav-filologickych-studii/podujatia-ustavu/medzinarodna-konferencia-doktorandov/ ), at which they present their results research and confront them with the experience of their colleagues from the Slovak and international university environment, we also support the participation of our doctoral students in other scientific events in Slovakia and abroad. In general, we lead them to understand the need for domestic and international scientific cooperation. When publishing the results of their research, we lead doctoral students to uphold ethics. This is the case in all their publications. We create a space for publishing for our doctoral students. We have three periodicals at the Institute of Philological Studies (https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/ustavy/ustav-filologickych-studii/periodicke-publikacie-ufs/).
We publish the journal Philologia at Comenius University (the 31st edition is published in 2021, the journal has been included in the ERIH + database since 2019) and we also have excellent long-term cooperation with the foreign publishing house KIRSCH-Verlag, in which we publish two more periodicals, one of them is a collection of PhD students in Philological Studies. Acta doctorandorum. The dissertations of our doctoral students are focused on topics that their supervisors address within the projects and in which they also involve their doctoral students (information is in the section on projects, as well as on the above-mentioned website of the Institute of Phylological Studies). Some doctoral students continue to solve projects later as assistant professors or researchers, because many of them applied for teaching or research places at Faculty of Education, Comenius University after the completion of the doctoral studies. Currently, 5 graduates of Didactics of foreign languages and literatures are working at Faculty of Education, Comenius University. In this way, we support the personal provision of the philological departments of the Faculty of Education, Comenius University.
We involve doctoral students in the organization or management of some of the above-mentioned events, thus developing in them a sense of responsibility and belonging in the management of life and life in the workplace of which they are a part. In this way, they participate in improving the quality of higher education and the higher education environment, which brings together students, pedagogical, research and administrative staff of the faculty in fulfilling the goals of the faculty. We are aware that the involvement of external cooperating institutions is also necessary for several reasons in order to achieve this goal. Our graduates are potential employees of university or research institutes. They get to know these environments already during their studies by participating in conferences, but also in joint inter-university projects. We have excellent cooperation with Faculty of Arts, Comenius University in Bratislava, with University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, with University of Matej Bel in Banská Bystrica, with the University of Prešov in Prešov, with University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra, with the P. J. Šafárik University in Košice.
In the field of internationalization and international relations, we cooperate with Masaryk University in Brno, Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Language Didactics, University of Catania, etc. We work with the mentioned universities on joint projects, we participate in committees for dissertation examinations, for dissertation defenses, in habilitation and inauguration committees, etc.
In the field of communication and public relations, we primarily use information on the website of the Institute of Philological Studies and its components. We consider the event Days of the Institute of Philological Studies on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the existence of the Institute of Philological Studies to be significant, at which we also summarized the results in the field of doctoral studies and accompanying activities that support the educational and research activities of our doctoral students
(https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/ustavy/ustav-filologickych-studii/podujatia-ustavu/dni-ustavu-filologickych-studii/). We plan to continue the tradition. We consider it a suitable way of communication with the professional and the general public.
Following the strategic plan for the development of the Faculty of Education, Comenius University as a highly scientific, research, pedagogical and professional workplace, we try to build on the results achieved in the previous period in education and the field of research, artistic and other activity. We did not "build the study programme of Didactics of foreign languages and literatures on a green field". Before this study programme, there was a doctoral study programme in the field of linguistics of specific language groups at the Faculty of Education, Comenius University, in which several doctoral students were educated and university teachers were habilitated and inaugurated. Some of them still work at the Faculty of Education, Comenius University. We strive to build on previous doctoral study programmes and benefit from the acquired experience and further develop it, we are also looking for experience abroad and we want to continue to develop our study programme at the international level. We aim to increase the quality of education, strengthen science, research and implement the results of empirical activities into educational activities and also to transfer them back to research, artistic and other activities.

After defending his dissertation, the center of his research was, the Italian language and its history. In this area he published in Hungarian and Italian, he also organized an international conference with the participation of the ItalIAnt research group from Padua, led by the Nestor of Italian Romance Studies, Professor Lorenzo Renzi, which focused on research into medieval Italian. A follow-up to this research area, he studied Italian used in the administration of the royal courts after 2010. The result was several international publications, as well as a course he taught at the University of Friborg, Switzerland.
A great contribution was, for example, the discovery of the founding document from Podolínec from 1643, which he discovered in the central library of the Piarists in Budapest. His further research focused on old Italian documents in Hungarian libraries, the possessors of individual specimens, their records, use and history. He presented the results at several international conferences in Hungary (1998 conference on Marsilio Ficino, 2002 conference on Petrarca) and in Italy (2003 conference on Postillati in Milan), as well as in numerous scientific studies (e.g. a collection published in honor of Magda Jászay, Italy, in the Italian-Hungarian anthology of library science, in the anthology of the University Library of Budapest. He later researched Italian manuscripts in Hungary. He focused mainly on famous Dante's Code of the Budapest University Library, in which he identified the hitherto unknown authorship of Albertan's text and analyzed his language. Archival research also led him to examine a textbook of Latin grammar attributed to Pier Paolo Vergeri (also from the Budapest University Library), which dates from the 15th century and outlines the methodology of teaching Latin as a foreign language at the given time. He presented the results in a lecture and scientific studies, in a commented edition of the facsimile of the Dante's Code, prepared by the University of Szeged in cooperation with the University of Verona, in scientific journals and publications of the University Library. Based on this scientific activity, he was invited to represent the field of Italian studies in the Review panel for Research of Book History of the Commission for Cultural History of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest.
Through research on Italian sources in Hungary, he also came into contact with other research teams. As an external expert of the Budapest Fragmenta Codicum research group, he was asked in several cases to identify, interpret and date Italian manuscripts found in the old codex boards. As an expert, he was invited to collaborate on research into various sources. Thus, in 2015, he participated in the research of sources about the Battle of Mohács and the death of Louis II, translating the related records of the chronicler Marina Sanuda publication. In order to examine the 16th-century manuscript, he was invited to the Fibula project to research Italian, Spanish and French material from the "Berlin Collection" of the Krakow Jagiellonian Library, led by Piotr Tylus and Roman Sosnowski. Similarly, he participates in the work of a research team led by Peter Kasz of the University of Szeged, which focuses on examining and publishing sources related to the siege of Buda in 1541 (Buda Oppugnata project). In this context, he discovered two important sources in Italy, which he subsequently published in the original language and Hungarian translation, enriched by historical and philological apparatus.
As the main researcher of the VESTIGIA I (2010-2015) and VESTIGIA II (2018-2022) projects, he coordinates the research of Italian documents in Central European archives as well as documents of Hungarian origin in the Italian archives. One of the most important empirical results is the processing of these documents, which allows their systematic examination. An electronic database has been created for the storage and sorting of data, where, thanks to systematic scientific activity, more than 3,200 records relating to the Kingdom of Hungary are stored. Many of them are therefore also important for the study of the history of Slovakia. In addition to basic data, the database also contains digital photographs and abstracts of documents. The database is designed in such a way that it is not only intended for research by practitioners, but also to help introduce other new experts in Italian paleography and to teach historical periods of the Italian language and its territorial specifics. The individual tools in the VESTIGIA project are designed so that their task is to guide the learning user. A seminar has been operating within the research team for many years, the basic activity of which is the transcription, interpretation and linguistic analysis of documents discovered and examined by the Vestigia team. Research team members use these original documents at various levels in bachelor's, master's and doctoral Italian study programmes. Applying a method based on the synthesis of paleographic, linguistic and historical knowledge based on the interpretation of specific old manuscripts, György Domokos works to empirically verify this new method of teaching and learning a language. It consists of a fundamental innovation in the way historical documents are made available for teaching with the original quality of document indexing and explanation, which allows a new dimension of philological context analysis to be introduced in a way that significantly increases the availability of newly discovered authentic paleographic material directly in the classroom, where students work the supervising of a teacher or, within the combined method, also distance online on assigned tasks.The student thus becomes an actor in a scientific research incubator studying the history of the Italian language, which introduces him/her to the practice of Italian work. In addition to this pillar of teaching innovation, its other pillar, which exploits new sources on the history of relations between Italy and Hungary, is equally important. It is a unique approach, according to which students study directly the authentic documents that constitute the history of intercultural relations between Central Europe and the Mediterranean. They do not study the issues based on the finished synthesis, they are led to independent work in order to synthesize knowledge on the researched material. In the humanities, especially in the teaching of the history of modern languages in the environment of teaching and non-teaching study programmes, such an approach is unique and original, represents a rare empire of philological work that leads to a holistic study of language phenomena in their authentic context, which helps philological hermeneutics of learning understanding older Italian text.
The work with comprehension of the translated text is also related to the activity at Petr Pázmány Catholic University, where György Domokos also actively participates in the training of translators and interpreters for / from Italian. In order to present his experience with the translation of historical sources, he also actively participated in scientific conferences organized by the Hieronymus research group focused on the history and theory of translation and interpretation.
The most important awards of scientific results:
- Pázmány University Rector's Award Péter Katolikus Egyetem Pázmány díj [Pázmányova Cena] (2015)
- Award of the Department of Italian Studies of the Accademia Ambrosiana Scientific Institution (2009).

Monographs, university textbooks, scientific studies published in foreign and domestic journals and anthologies, which we characterize below in several groups, are focused on lexicology, phraseology, stylistics and textual linguistics from a systemic, pragmatic, textual, comparative and lingvodidactic point of view. In her two monographs published abroad, she deals with current textual-linguistic and stylistic issues, which play an important role in oral and written communication. She analyzes and evaluates stylistic principles of text creation according to their primary stylistic function, thus following up on functional stylistics, which has long traditions in Slovak stylistic and Slovak Germanic linguistics, but advances them through pragmatic-linguistic and textual-linguistic aspects, which are applied in the latest approaches to style. She connects them with the results of research into the theory of communication and the theory of speech acts. In the monograph Stylistic Principles of the Creation of Administrative and Legal Texts, she primarily deals with the origin, character and development of administrative text, its contact areas and intersections with educational style. She examines the use of the principle of repetition in the creation of administrative texts in European Union documents in German, Slovak and English.
The monograph Theoretische Grundlagen stilistischer Textanalyse, which was first published by Comenius University in Bratislava in 2007 and the second extended edition by a foreign publisher in 2015, formed the theoretical basis for stylistic analysis of the text. The monograph represents a holistic approach to the researched areas. It contains comprehensive theoretical instruments for a detailed intra- and interlingual stylistic analysis of the text. Using a dynamic activity text concept (discourse), it possible to perceive the text as a multidimensional phenomenon with all its potential components - verbal, paraverbal (suprasegmental), as well as nonverbal (body language). The stylistic principles of the creation of educational texts are dealt with in the chapter Stilistische Prinzipien der gestaltung von wissenschaftlichen Texten of the publication Aspekte der Fachtexte she co-authored.

Another group of publications by prof. PhDr. Mária Vajičková, CSc. consists of university textbooks that are used in the teaching of profile subjects in the bachelor‘s and master‘s study of Teaching of German language and literature and have been published in several editions (as can be seen below). Lexikalisches Grundwissen in Sprachsystem und Sprachgebrauch. Einführung in die Lexikologie der deutschen Gegenwartssprache (1996) contains the basics of lexicology, lexical semantics and lexicography and is used as a university textbook that presents the basic lexicological instrumentation in the system and use, as well as in connection with stylistic values of vocabulary. The first edition also contained the basics of phraseology. The second edition (2005) is extended by more detailed information on word formation and a part on phrasemes is excluded from it.
After supplementing and expanding the results from further research into phrases in the text-forming function and in confrontation with Slovak idioms, this part became the basis for a separate monograph Deutsche Phraseologie unter fremdsprachendidaktischen Aspekten (1997), which became the basis for the university textbook Handbuch der deutschen Phraseologie unterakten 2005). This work, in comparison with systemic and text-creating research of idioms in previous publications on phraseology, contains chapters of obsolete elements in idioms, chapters of odidactic aspects of phraseological research, etc. which, in contrast to systemic text - creating research on idioms in previous publications in phraseology, also contains chapters of obsolete elements in phrasemes, chapters on didactic aspects of phraseological research, etc. These theoretical publications on phraseology, which contain numerous examples of phrasemes, are supplemented by an exercise book.

From January 2010 Head of the Department of German Language and Literature
MAIN AREAS OF RESEARCHI:
In her research activity she specializes in children´s and youth literature of German speaking countries at the level of theory of literature along with development processes. She perceives children´s and youth literature as an indispensable part of general events taking place in the historical process of literature. She emphasises the repertory of particularities rather than specific literature. The same applies to contemplating about such literature. Among A. Mikulášová´s most significant results are her systematic efforts of literary reflection on children´s and youth literature and its relation to related disciplines. A. Mikulášová focuses on the conceptualization of the research of children´s and youth literature, which stem from research traditions of literary science Germanics, from the efforts to institutionalize the research of children´s and youth literature as an independent university discipline. She also focuses on the issues of interdisciplinary transformation and tension. Through a survey in theoretical options, she uncovers relations between structural, semiotic and most of all systemic-theoretical and constructivist approaches to children´s and youth literature research.
Andrea Mikulášová reflects in her works on various thematical and theoretical approaches, along with genealogical questions. At the forefront of her research is a text and its attributes, its internal structure, and its position in corpus of other texts. With the usage of relevant comparisons, she tries to filter text features (themes, motives, topics, forms, styles etc.), which separate the corpus of children´s and youth literature from other corpuses. She focuses on various determinants of relations between children´s and youth literature and literature for adults at multiple levels, taking into consideration the genre, motive and literary techniques, cognitive and social aspects of literary communication in the context of children´s and youth literature. Other research fields focus on the issue of genre differentiation, new perspectives of children´s and youth cultural research in the times of media changes, along with interconnections between traditional and new media (the functioning of media groups).
Children´s and youth literature as a specific field of literature in teaching study programmes is indispensable and should become a priority for future teachers.
Andrea Mikulášová teaches courses (German children´s and youth literature, German children´s and youth literature seminar, Children´s and youth literature of Austria and Switzerland), which serve as a review of children´s and youth literature, its current state and most of all strategies of its creative application in educational practice. Now she focuses on the phenomenon of interdiscourse in literature and aspects of poetic knowledge.

The publication deals with visual media and their functional application in foreign language teaching. In addition to traditional media, it also addresses new media, with their effective use in class, thus creating a connection between foreign language teaching and everyday reality. The publication makes it possible to work with the aesthetic and emotional potential of the visual media, including their characteristic specifics and emphasis on the comprehensive development of personality, i.e. of its cognitive as well as affective and emotional domains. The development of the learner's emotionality, his aesthetic feelings and tastes and, last but not least, intercultural competencies and empathy with today's heterogeneity are strongly supported.

The publication provides a basis for the holistic pedagogy approach in foreign language education in the context of creative and humanistic tendencies of present-day education. The author analyses the rise and the gradual development of holistic pedagogy, its main terminology, aims and principles. The publication also offers detailed analyses of the methods of holistic pedagogy which are focused on the comprehensive development and increase of personal, social and didactic competencies of students and teachers of the German language. One of significant and original contributions of the publication is the author’s new approach to foreign language learning through self-reflection, self-knowledge, empathy, authentic presentation and recognition of one´s strong and weak personal traits. Great emphasis is placed on sensual perception and emotions in the interactive and intercultural environment. The publication contributes to the development of intercultural awareness and intercultural competence. Another strength of the publication lies in the fact that the methods and forms of teaching/learning presented are accompanied by various practical materials related to the educational practice at schools.

With regards to the fulfillment of the accreditation criteria, representatives of students, employers and other stakeholders were involved in the preparation of the study program as well.
Considering the needs of practice and criteria of quality standards, while respecting the needs of the labor market and the requirements placed on graduates of the study program Didactics of foreign languages and literatures, students and external stakeholders (employers) are considered to be immediate co-creators (proponents of modifications) of the study program.
Adjusting the study program Didactics of foreign languages and literatures, information from students and employers was taken into account. Their contribution is an important factor for the continuous improvement of the focus, content, methods, forms and organization of the study program.
Students’ opinions are beneficial, especially in the continuous innovation of the content and methods of the subjects within the study program. These innovations are based on the constantly changing needs of students and employers. We obtain feedback from PhD students and graduates through an anonymous questionnaire as well as informal discussions within the International Conference of Doctoral Students organized by The Institute of Philological Studies (ÚFŠ) since 2015. Only a few examples are provided in this document. The feedback from the graduates showed that subjects focused on research methodology and elaboration of research projects on national and international offers were considered very useful.
This feedback is reflected in the structure of the study program. The group of compulsory subjects includes subjects such as Methodology of qualitative and quantitative research and Creation of a research project. The knowledge and skills acquired in these compulsory subjects can be further developed and deepened in compulsory-elective subjects such as Mathematical-statistical methods or New trends in psychological theory and practice. Graduates also pointed out that their presentation skills in a foreign language should be strengthened, especially in specific contexts such as conferences or university teaching. This feedback was taken into account by including the compulsory-elective subject Rhetoric, presentation and communication skills in the study program as well as including elective subjects such as Professional communication in German, English or Romance languages. Despite the fact that students' presentation skills are developed at lower levels of study, in accordance with the graduates’ feedback, the mentioned subjects are designed with regards to the specific aspects of communication in the scientific research and pedagogical field. Graduates’ feedback was also taken into account while designing the elective subject Work with external literary sources, as graduates were interested in subjects focused on the principles of scientific publications and practical aspects of project writing. We consider employers' opinions to be beneficial due to the fact that they make it possible to implement innovations, while taking into account the needs of practice and the demand of the labor market.
Based on the Internal order VP 23/2021 Internal quality assurance system of higher education, Comenius University in Art. 24 Establishment and membership in the Council of the study program, students and representatives of employers are also members of the Council at every stage of the improvement of the study program. Further information on the tasks of the study advisor in receiving feedback from students and in communicating the improvement of the study program, on the evaluation of teacher's work within individual subjects, on surveys for students and ways of implementing their results in the study program and its improvement is detailed in SP 9 and SP 11. We respond flexibly to students' suggestions and implement them in teaching based on informal discussions as well (as mentioned above).

The study programme 30104 Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures in its structure and content fulfils the description of the study field 38. Teaching and Pedagogical Sciences (Social Work, Speech Therapy and Therapeutic Pedagogy).
The knowledge, skills and competences acquired in this study programme are in line with the supporting themes of the core knowledge of the field of study according to Article 1.4 and with the content of the field of study and according to Article 4.1 on the areas and scope of knowledge, skills and competences that profile a graduate of a third-level study programme. The content of the programme of study covers more than 70% of the content of the field of study.
Students of the third level of study acquire broad knowledge of relevant scientific disciplines corresponding to the current state of knowledge, as well as skills to fully acquire professional and scientific information, work with it and use it for the needs of their own creative activity, to solve specific tasks and problems by applying the acquired knowledge, skills, abilities and competencies.
The compulsory subjects of the study plan, for which the student receives 30 credits, are designed to proportionally cover the supporting topics of the core knowledge of the field of study defined by the description and at the same time reflect the current requirements and needs of practice. Follow-up compulsory-elective courses for which the student receives at least 40 credits further develop the knowledge, skills and competences that profile the graduate of the field of study. Electives allow students to develop skills that enable them to more effectively meet the requirements of the study program.
Within the courses Methodology of Qualitative Research, Methodology of Quantitative Research, Creation of Research Project and Doctoral Colloquium, the graduate acquires comprehensive knowledge of the norms and principles of scientific work in the field of educational research; of the historical aspects of specialisation and the development of the relevant field from a domestic and international perspective, and masters its theoretical foundations and methodology. The graduate also acquires skills and competences related to independent planning, designing, preparation, organisation and evaluation of pedagogical research, both independently and as a member of a research team, or he/she is able to lead such a team. The graduate further develops skills and competences related to searching and abstracting information from relevant national and international source databases; he/she develops independent, critical and analytical thinking, which he/she uses flexibly for the purpose of research (theoretical, empirical, applied research).
The structure of the study plan allows for flexibility in the design of the student's personal study plan, thanks to the possibility to reflect the need for individual professional growth and the student's future professional orientation.
The study programme is designed so that the graduate finds employment primarily in tertiary education at universities as a university teacher (assistant professor), researcher, linguist and literary scientist with the prospect of further professional growth and scientific research with application outputs in school practice. Due to the wide range of acquired knowledge, skills, abilities and competences, he/she can also be employed in the labour market in various other spheres for which the qualification guaranteed by the gain of 3. degree is relevant (provision and management of research and development infrastructure, acquisition, processing and dissemination of information in the field of science and technology, cooperation in the field of science and technology with universities, other legal entities and entrepreneurs carrying out research and development, work in public administration, school management, media, cultural and educational work, leadership and expert positions in publishing and journalism, international educational institutions, organisations and companies in an intercultural and interdisciplinary context).

As part of the approval procedure, the necessary processes and structures are established - in particular the Accreditation Board of the Faculty of Education, Comenius University, and the Accreditation Board of Comenius University. Independent, impartial, objective, professionally based, transparent, and fair assessment of the proposal and approval of the study programme is dealt with in IR no. 23/2021 and involves students, employers, and other stakeholders. It is guaranteed that the persons assessing and approving the study programme are different from the persons preparing the proposal of the study programme.
During the implementation of formalized processes of the study programme of Didactics of foreign languages and literatures within the faculty, the standard resulting from the Accreditation Standards and treated in IR no. 23/2021 was strictly respected by applying the relevant provisions of internal regulations that allow the application of the internal quality system principles in the study programme modification.
The Study Programme Board of Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures was appointed by the Dean of the Faculty following the relevant provisions of IR no. 1/2016 of the Statute of Comenius University in Bratislava, Faculty of Education, and following IR no. 23/2021. The members of the Study Programme Board respected the relevant legislation and internal regulations of the university prepared a proposal for the modification of the Study programme following the formalized processes of the internal quality assurance system of higher education, and submitted the application and its supplementary annexes to the Accreditation Board of Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava.
The involvement of students, employers, and other stakeholders in the approval of the proposal within the formalized process was guaranteed within the Accreditation Board of Faculty of Education as well as the Accreditation Board of Comenius University. By applying the above-mentioned negotiation procedure according to internal regulations, an independent, impartial, objective, professionally founded, transparent and fair assessment of the proposal and approval of the study programme was guaranteed. In this process, special care was taken to ensure that the persons assessing and approving the study programme were different from the persons preparing the proposal of the study programme.
For the needs of obtaining feedback from employers, the Institute of Philological Studies, which covers the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures, collected opinions from AY 2021/22 specifically related to the study programme through a questionnaire. The content focused on reflecting the ability of the study programme to prepare future graduates for the requirements of the target job in terms of Slovak Qualifications Framework (SKKR) and National Qualifications Framework (NQF) descriptors, and on assessing the quality, content, and relevance of the courses offered.
The opinions and suggestions of employers were processed and, depending on the nature and content of the feedback, were submitted to the study advisor, the management of the relevant department, the management of Institute of Philological Studies, or the Commission for design, creation, modification, monitoring, and evaluation of study programmes. Feedback from employers was archived; the designated authorities further communicated with the relevant stakeholders according to the nature and seriousness of the complaint. For example, employers' feedback on particular courses/subjects was discussed in a joint discussion between teachers and subsequently agreed changes were implemented in the planning of the learning process.
Based on the relevance of the respondents' requirements to the content of the study and its connection with the external environment of potential employers, the Study programme Board adapted the offer of the study programme.
Monitoring focused on the specifities of the study programme was launched in AY 2021/22, with the perspective of gradual improvement of the entire process (tool, distribution, processing, evaluation, communication, taking measures). The aim was to ensure an environment open to the implementation of progressive visions, not only maintaining the current standards but also constantly increasing them. The study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures through the MS Teams platform creates a space for communication between student representatives (members of the Commission) and representatives of the external environment (members of the Commission) about the information and follow-up measures.
The opinions of experts from practice, current, former or potential employers of graduates of the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures represent a valuable source of opinions and suggestions in terms of evaluating the content quality and quality of the learning outcomes. They consider the composition of individual blocks of courses as sufficient, the courses contribute to the development of the scientific research and professional profile of graduates and the subsequent achievement of the declared graduate profile of the study programme. They see the potential for innovation in a possible narrower definition of some offered courses (research methodology - didactic research methodology, applied linguistics, and its research methodology; new trends in pedagogy/andragogy, subject pedagogy/andragogy; school management). They consider the overall composition of the offered courses to be meaningful with the potential to contribute to comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the evaluated study programme. They consider the degree of flexibility in compiling the study path to be satisfactory. The evaluation of the study programme of Didactics of foreign languages and literature by employers can be considered above average based on the feedback obtained. Employers agree with the overall design of the study programme.
Based on feedback from the external environment and suggestions from stakeholders at the Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures, changes are made to the course information sheets before the beginning of the new academic year.
Since AR 2021/22, opinions specifically related to the study programme are monitored through a questionnaire, which is collected by the Institute of Philological Studies. The content focused on the ability of the study programme to cover the content needs of future graduates, on the quality and relevance of the courses offered, and on the ability of the study programme to prepare full-fledged professionals in terms of the Slovak Qualifications Framework (SKKR) and National Qualification Framework (NSK) descriptors.
The opinions and suggestions of the students were discussed in a joint discussion of the teachers and subsequently, changes were implemented into the learning process. The evaluation of the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures can be considered above average based on the feedback received from the students of the study programme. Students consider the study plan to be flexible and perceive the offer of courses positively in terms of its breadth of coverage, which allows them to fully, but at the same time individually prepare for scientific research activities in their area of interest. Students further emphasized the existence of opportunities through which they have the opportunity to seamlessly enter the standard activities of scientific research work (doctoral conference, proceedings, seminars) https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/ustavy/ustav-filologickych-studii/podujatia-ustavu/medzinarodna-konferencia-doktorandov/
They see opportunities for improvement in communication about the possibilities of stays abroad and scholarship programs and support in their administration, as well as in communication regarding the procedural side of the pedagogical part of the student's plan. Students agree with the overall design of the study programme, the ability of the study programme to develop the student's creative potential, the independence of his/her view, critical and analytical thinking. They further agreed that the study programme offers the necessary opportunities to acquire the necessary theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and transferable competencies.

The composition of study programme Didactics of foreign languages and literature allows for both compulsory, compulsory elective and optional courses sufficient internal flexibility (variability of study paths according to the student's interest and possibilities/abilities/pace of work), which allows the student to focus on the area of his/her interest (especially in compulsory and optional courses), as well as the possibility of choosing courses within the offer of the entire faculty and university.
The structure of the courses primarily reflects the graduate profile and the learning objectives and learning outcomes.
The study programme includes lectures, seminars, exercises that create space not only for the construction of a system of declarative knowledge and (depending on the specific course and its content, current topic and activities) their subsequent proceduralization by developing appropriate skills, but also for discussion and a more personalized approach to the student.
Teachers are also available to students during consultation hours, which serve for individual (or group) consultation and discussion of issues related to the content of subjects according to the needs and interests of the student, as well as any problems in choosing appropriate approaches and learning strategies.
The main learning outcomes are defined in the Description of the study programme following the Description of the field of study. The sub-objectives and learning outcomes and methods of their verification are defined in the Course information sheets, and the achievements and learning objectives and outcomes are summarily verified by means of a the state examination – (detailed information is given in section 2.12 of this document and the information sheet of the state examination).
The rules for verification of learning outcomes and student evaluation and the possibilities of corrective procedures against this evaluation are regulated by the IR No. 1/2020 Study Regulations, Faculty of Education, Comenius University. The used methods and forms of assessement of learning outcomes take into account the focus and content of individual courses. The diversity of study groups and the individuality of students and their needs are also taken into account.
The particular methods of assessment in individual courses reflect the specificities of each course and are detailed in the information sheets of individual courses. These contain a breakdown of performance at each level of assessment, together with a specification of the range of knowledge, skills, and competencies. The student´s final grade for a given course is the sum of the results of the continuous and final assessment, or just a sum of the continuous assessment, depending on the assessment method of the particular course. The study plan includes information on the specific ratio of mid-term to final assessment for each course. The purpose of continuous assessment of the student work is to encourage proactive and systematic study throughout the semester and to reduce the impact load during the examination period. Continuous assessment takes various forms (seminar work, problem solving, presentations, colloquia, discussions, analysis of case studies, introspective analysis of own experiences, creative activities, active participation in seminars, tests, etc.). The final assessment is usually in the form of written final tests or oral examinations.
The combined teaching method, which is characterized by teaching with direct teacher-student contact and communication through communication means, allows flexibility and adaptation to te individual activities and materials in the course, accelerates and dynamizes learning, allowing in some cases better accessibility to materials for students and more effective communication between students and teachers.
The study programme is characterized by an inclusive teaching and learning environment in which all learners have equal opportunities to learn and use their individual abilities, the use of educational potential.
The appropriateness and effectiveness of the rules, forms, and methods of teaching, learning, and assessment of learning outcomes is monitored, evaluated, and improved through regular student surveys, ongoing discussions between teachers and students, and discussions between teachers.
Students' comments on the study programme are internally recorded on an ongoing basis for the purpose of improving the quality of the teaching provided as well as for the use in the design of the study programme innovations.
If a student with specific needs applies for the study programme in Didactics of foreign languages and literature , there are firm rules and processes in place from the selection of the study programme, through the admission procedure, the the entry to the study, the study itself, and the completion of the study. The Rector's Directive No. 23/2014 on the provision of a generally accessible academic environment for students with specific needs serves this purpose.
There are three coordinators for working with students with special needs and a senior faculty coordinator who ensures communication not only with the applicant/student himself/herself, but also with the heads of the relevant departments, with guarantors, and other teachers in the procedures, approaches, and measures containing the needs of students with specific needs. The Support Center for Students with Special Needs, located at the University Rector's Office, is also used to provide support measures for students with special needs in all faculties of the university.
Students are not only assisted in study matters by a study officer at the study department, but also by a study advisor, who is appointed by the Dean for each study programme in accordance with the IR no. 23/2021 Internal Quality Assurance System of Higher Education at the Comenius Bratislava and the IR no. 1/2020 Study Regulations.

At the Faculty of Education, Comenius University, the transfer of credits is regulated in the IR No.1/2020 Study Regulations of CU, Article 19.
Art. 19 Transfer of credits after the completion of academic mobility
(1) The transfer of credits is a process of counting in credits obtained during study at a different university in the Slovak Republic or abroad (further stated as “academic mobility”) into the total number of credits according to § 4 par. 3 of the ordinance of the credit system of study. The basic principles of transfer of credits are modified by the ordinance of the credit system of study.
(2) The terms and conditions of sending students to an academic mobility are modified by specific internal regulations UK49 and contract conditions of academic mobility programmes.
(3) The academic mobility is formally conditioned by a study contract. The study contract and its changes are signed by the Dean or appointed Vice-dean, after receiving a written consent from the guarantor of the study programme. The subject attended by the student at the receiving institution becomes part of his study plan.
(4) If the credits of the subject completed by the student at the receiving institution do not comprise of an integer number, they are rounded into a natural number during the transfer of credits.
(5) A subject completed at the receiving institution that has a comparable content and extent to the subject at the sending faculty and which the student completed based on the approved academic mobility,
a) is automatically accepted and considered as completed instead of a corresponding compulsory subject, compulsory optional subject or optional subject listed in the study programme that the student was accepted to. If the subject was listed in the study contract, particularly in the part modifying the acceptance of part of study at the sending faculty,
b) after having received a written request from the student and statement from the guarantor of the study programme, the Dean has the possibility to accept the subject only as “passed” instead of compulsory or compulsory optional subject listed in the study programme, that the student was accepted to. He/ She has the right to do so if the conditions stated in letter a) are not fulfilled.
(6) A subject which was accepted according to par. 5, is listed in the annex of the diploma with zero credits and a note stating, that its completion was substituted by a completion of a subject at the receiving institution during an academic mobility. The number of credits obtained for the subject “passed” at the receiving institution is determined by the number of credits stated in the list of study results; the assessment of the “passed” subject at the receiving institution will transfer to the assessment scale used by CU according to § 6 par. 3 ordinance of credit system of study.
(7) If the conditions of the contract of the academic mobility programme, study contract or par. 5 do not state otherwise, the subjects “passed” at the receiving institution during the academic mobility are accepted by the faculty as optional subjects.
(8) The regulations stated in this article also apply to students who complete only some subjects at the receiving institution abroad in a particular period of the academic year, because of internship, summer school or other education activity approved by the sending faculty.

In addition to general pedagogical methods and didactic procedures, teachers in the SP Didactics of foreign languages and literatures use a variety of methods appropriate to the nature of the course in order to achieve the learning objectives and outcomes. These are specifically described in the Course information sheets of each subject. Teachers try to use methods that encourage students to be creative, flexible, that make the content of education more engaging, appropriately communicated, and that motivate the student to explore, think and seek solutions.
Argumentative discourse at an appropriate level of intellectual sophistication for doctoral study is provided by the choice and logic of methods that respond to the changing demands on the individual and the rapid changes in society associated with scientific and technological development. Teachers have a wide range of new or innovative approaches to teaching and learning, making adequate use of new communication and information technologies.
In the Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures programme, teachers of individual courses implement activating methods in their lessons in order to foster students' interest in the subject, to make use of previous knowledge and experience and also to promote the development of their emotional side through intensive experiencing, thinking and acting. Problem-based methods (heuristic methods, problem-solving, analysis of case studies, analysis of experienced pedagogical practice, etc.) are used. Discussion methods emphasising the communicative aspect, the perception of others, the ability to listen (brainstorming, brainwriting, the method of targeted questions), as well as situational methods (the method of gradual familiarisation with the case, bibliographic methods), scenario-based staging methods and project methods are popular. Motivational effects, together with the facilitation of creativity and play aspects, are provided by concept mapping techniques (Mind maps), various association exercises, self/reflection and self/evaluation.
Qualitative research methodology operates through innovative portfolio management - the concept of e/portfolio is evidence of autonomy, competence, scholarly integrity, student identity, creativity and self-presentation.
In didactic, linguistic as well as literary subjects, the form of colloquium is used as a special kind of examination, which has the course of group discussion (it is basically a debate on the subject). The teacher mainly notes the students' involvement and contribution to the discussion, their ability to interact, their flexibility and the application of the knowledge and skills acquired during the semester.

Student´s autonomy, independency, self-evaluation, and reflection of study results (or students' personal development) are reinforced by various sources from different levels. Adequate directing of students is administered by study advisors, which are selected by the head of the department and represent experienced teachers familiar with the faculty´s policies and processes, especially in the field of education.
Coordinators for students with special needs have a distinctive supportive position and are appointed by the dean of the faculty. They participate in the preparation and realization of necessary modifications and support services for students with special needs. The faculty also has psychologists and offers other services in the student career centre.
The basic support for all students is administered by the officers at the department of science, research, and international relations. Other offices of the faculty also contribute (indirectly) in the quality of education (social departments etc.)
Students can communicate their questions to autonomous organs of the faculty (Student part of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University in Bratislava).
The study programme reinforces autonomy when it comes to the selection of suitable study path, elaboration of the study plan, student workload for each subject of the study plan. Moreover, it reinforces independency in study and creative activities. Valorization and systematization of student´s self-evaluation (in the context of evaluation tools) forms an integral part of this aspect too. The basic holistic principle for all participants of education is the activization of mutual respect and understanding.

Directive of the Dean (Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava, no. 2/2013). Study advisor at the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava: https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/fileadmin/pdf/O_fakulte/Legislativa_a_dokumenty/Smernice_2009-2012/Smernica_dekanky_2013_c_2_Studijny_poradca.pdf
Comenius University has formalized procedures that modify academic and professional ethics – Ethical Codex of Comenius University, which forms part of VP (Internal Regulation) 23/2021 Internal system for securing the quality of university education at Comenius University in part eight: Ethical Codex and Rules for Creative Activity of Comenius University.
The Faculty of Education has a disciplinary agenda and appointed Disciplinary committee of the Faculty of Education for students. It is formed by three employees and three students. The committee is ready to handle complaints and solve delinquencies or the breaching of ethical norms associated with the study or other disputable situations.
The Comenius University pays greater attention to the reinforcement of students´ internal motivation and their personal and sciential development. Moreover, the university supports the creative abilities and competences. The support of the internal motivation and competency can be seen in the annual student competition ŠVOUČ (Student scientific and artistic activity), which is administered by the Department for science and doctoral study of Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava.
The teachers participating in the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures also reinforce student´s motivation through creative tasks, engagement in research activity, projects or supporting their individual interests which have something in common with the study programme (they enable them to elaborate seminar/annual works with optional topic choice).
Students are also motivated by the rector´s student annual awards, which take place during Student´s Day.

Information lists of the subjects
The study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures has disclosed the rules and criteria of evaluation, registering, and archiving of evaluation methods. All of them are disclosed in information lists for each subject, which are constantly updated and specified in syllabus.
The archiving of all information from the information lists can be found in the system AIS2, in support departments of Faculty of Education of Comenius University, e.g., study department, department for science and doctoral study, in each department in printed or online copy.
The archiving of these kinds of documents follows the Internal regulation 1/2006 Directive of the Rector of Comenius University Registry Agenda and Registry Plan.
The rules and criteria for the evaluation of student´s study results form an inseparable part of VSK at Comenius University. The evaluation of students is described in VP (Internal Regulation) 23/2021 Internal system for securing the quality of university education at Comenius University in Bratislava. The regulation specifies the educational aims, rules and conditions of evaluation and specifies the role of the responsible people for the study programme (in student´s evaluation).
Educational aims and conditions of assessment in the third level of study must be determined in a way that:
a. For a successful completion of the study part and dissertation exam, the student must prove to have a systematic understanding of the study field. He/ she must also acquire abilities and methods of relevant scientific research which are current and up to date with information of the research,
b. For a successful completion of the conditions stated in the scientific part, including the elaboration of the dissertation thesis, the student must prove to have
1. The ability to formulate, construct, realize and modify a significant part of the research with scientific integrity,
2. The ability to critically analyse, evaluate and synthetize new and complex concepts,
3. The ability to communicate with co-workers, scientific community, and public in his/ her field of expertise,
4. The ability to contribute to the original research with scientific knowledge through the elaboration of an extensive collection of works, which are applicable for a peer-reviewed publication at national or international level,
5. The ability to support technological, social, or cultural progress based on knowledge in academic and professional context,
c. The student´s dissertation thesis must prove to comply with all the conditions according to letter b) of this paragraph,
The student´s dissertation thesis proves his/ her ability and preparedness for an independent scientific and creative activity in the field of his/ her research or development or in independent theoretical and creative artistic activity; the dissertation thesis must prove to have a high level of analysis and synthesis of knowledge and an adequate overview of scientific literature.
The requirements for assessment stated above are minimal requirements necessary for the completion of the subject, state exam, final thesis defence and overall study programme. Based on the student´s fulfilment of previously stated conditions and its quality, he/ she is awarded with a grade based on the criteria stated in the information list of the subject. The student is awarded grades A to E (passes) or is assessed by FX (insufficient), if he/ she did not fulfil the requirements stated in the information lists of the particular subjects. The student is also assessed by FX (insufficient) if he submitted a final thesis without complying to 56 VP UK (Internal Regulation if CU) in Bratislava no. 23/2021.
The final thesis must be original, elaborated by the author because of his/ her creative work and in compliance with rules of working with information sources. The final thesis must not have features of plagiarizing, must no violate copyright laws of other authors. The author is obliged to cite consistently all information sources, mention nominal and concrete results of the research of other authors or collective of authors by citing the given source, describe laboratory results and field of research of other authors or collective of authors. The author mustn´t submit repeatedly the same or slightly modified version of his/ her thesis, that he defended in the past as his final thesis, rigorous thesis, or habilitation thesis.
The originality of the submitted thesis is verified by a minimum of two independent plagiarism detection systems. The head of the thesis is obliged to consult the results of originality in the thesis report. He/ She must do so regardless of the percentage of equality, which is stated in the report.
The structure of the examination committee for the state exams (final thesis defence) enables to appoint an examination committee for the state exams in the level and form of study.
The members of the examination committee are not only from the Faculty of Education but also professionals from other collaborating institutions, which represent external employer environment, or university teachers from other universities (also from abroad).
The members of the examination committee are approved by the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University in Bratislava. Commissional principle of examination is applied at the state exams, the result is a consensual evaluation.
The university applies in the study programme the rules of commissional examination and appoints an examination commitee in designated parts of the study programme.
The students of the third degree programme Didactics of Foreign languages and literatures are evaluated subjects/study programmes in several ways: continuous assessment, final assessment, exam. The conditions for evaluation do not enable the student to finish his/ her study if he/she has not gained sufficient knowledge and competencies at the desired level of each discipline.
The evaluation of study results is specified in VP 1/2020 Study regulation of Faculty of Education of Comenius University in Bratislava. The teacher of the subjects decides upon the evaluation of the study results, disputable questions are decided by a committee appointed by the dean of the faculty. The evaluation of study results is modified by a regulation about the credit system of study. The evaluation of student´s subject results take place through continuous assessment (control questions, written tests, individual tasks, semester work, seminar paper etc.) or examination at the end of each stage of study. The conditions for the completion of the subject and the specification of the evaluation are always stated in the subject information list.
At the beginning of the semester the teacher is obliged to disclose (on the faculty´s webpage or other relevant platforms- information about the extent of obligatory participation in educational activities of the particular subject, detailed description of the form of assessment of study results ,dates or dead-lines for continuous assessment, information regarding the right of the student for re-assessment or other forms of fulfilling the conditions of continuous assessment, information about prerequisites for the completion of final assessment (if the student must fulfil other conditions in the continuous assessment such as grading or participation).
if the subject is taught by various teachers or forms part of multiple study programmes, the conditions stated in par. 4 must be disclosed by the teachers after a mutual agreement; the disclosed conditions must me identical (in content).
(6) The subjects for which the student signed up for but did not complete, will be assessed by an FX grade at the end of the examination period.
The structure of the requirements for the proper completion of studies is defined in the Internal Regulation 1/2020 Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University
A student may properly complete his/her studies after fulfilling the following requirements:
(a) he/she obtains the minimum number of credits required for the proper completion of studies, having fulfilled all the control stages of studies according to Article 25 of the Study Regulations of the Comenius University;
b) successfully completes all prescribed compulsory courses;
c) successfully completes all compulsory optional and optional subjects in the composition determined by the study programme;
d) submits and successfully defends the final thesis, which is part of the state examination.
The archiving of all assessment results in the SP is ensured by storing them in the AIS2 system, as well as in the relevant departments of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, namely in the study department and in the relevant department that is responsible for the staff of the study programme.
Details on the assessment and registration of learning outcomes, the competence of the study department, the competence of the department, the position and role of the lecturer, as well as the student's obligations are laid down in the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University (VP 1/2020).

Evaluation sheets for each subject archive at the departments (accesible at point)
The methods and criteria for the assessment of individual courses as well as state examination subjects are generally known to students in advance and are published on several platforms - e.g. in the IR No.1/2020 Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, in the information sheets of particular courses, which are permanently available to students in the AIS2 system. The methods and methods of assessment are also standardly indicated in the syllabuses of individual courses, which are published/sent to students in specific semesters of study by the respective lecturers.
In tutorial meetings, the study advisors answer students' questions and explain several and procedures to achieve better learning outcomes.
The students of the final year have a compulsory tutorial meeting in the first week of the last semester of their studies, where they are informed in detail about the date, venue, procedure, rules, boards and other details of the state examinations. This information is also sent to the students in the form of mail and is also published on the department's website.
Students have the opportunity to comment on the methods and criteria of assessment each year after the end of the semester in a student survey, where the questions focus on transparency and fairness of evaluation and fair procedure. The method and criteria of assessment and their publication is part of the VSK of the Faculty ofEducation.
In the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures, the rules of adequate approach to the verification of the achieved learning outcomes and the evaluation of the results are observed in accordance with the valid Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University, which are applied to the existing study programmes.
The conditions for passing the course, namely the form of assessment of the learning outcomes of the course, as well as the criteria for awarding credits and grades, are known in advance and available to students in the course information sheets in the AIS2 system in accordance with Art. 11 of the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University. Assessment is carried out mainly by: continuous checking of study results during the teaching part of a given study period (control questions, written tests, assignments for independent work, term papers, seminar report, etc.) or by examination for a given period.
Detailed information about the form, scope and criteria for verifying learning outcomes is communicated to students through the course syllabus, which students receive in the first class and to their faculty email address during the first week of class.
The syllabus contains information published by the lecturers at the beginning of the teaching part of the semester in accordance with the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Arts, Article 11:
(a) the extent of compulsory participation in the educational activities of each subject,
b) specification of the method of assessment of learning outcomes,
c) the dates of continuous assessment,
d) information on whether or not the student is entitled to remedial or alternative options for meeting the requirements of the continuous assessment,
(e) whether the achievement of the prescribed level of continuous assessment or the prescribed level of compulsory attendance is a condition for taking the examination;
(f) whether the student is required to achieve the prescribed level of continuous assessment or the prescribed level of compulsory attendance
learning activities.
Dates for verification of learning outcomes are communicated to students no later than when they enter the course and, in the case of examinations, are published and available on AIS2 no later than one week before the start of the examination period in accordance with the approved academic year timetable. Lecturers shall announce at least three examination dates with a view to spreading them evenly over the examination period of the semester. They may also determine that examination dates shall be divided into regular and make-up dates. The capacity and organisation of examinations shall thus enable each student to have access to at least two regular examination dates at a time, place and under conditions appropriate to the demonstration of the required knowledge, skills or competences.
If a student registers for an examination date and does not attend or withdraw from the examination, he/she is obliged to apologise to the instructor electronically no later than three working days after the date of the examination (see Dean's Directive 1/2020).
During the semester, the instructor's facilitative approach encourages the student's initiative and autonomous development by providing guidance, advice, and professional assistance in the subject matter to support the doctoral student's professional and personal development.
The application of the colloquial form of examination brings dynamism to the group and at the same time constitutes a transparent verification of knowledge, skills and competences in a process ensuring reflection and self-reflection of the whole group (see also SP 4.3).

In student teaching, the assessment criteria and assessment methods are known in advance. The score/percentage/interval ranges or scales on which a particular assessment is assigned to a student are also known to the students. These are determined in particular by Decree 614/2002 on the credit system of studies. The specific methods of assessment and the individual scales/intervals/ranges are specified according to the conditions of each study program in the information sheetd as well as in the syllabuses.
Students can be advised in the progress of their studies by their study advisor from among the teachers of the relevant study program, as well as by their assigned study officer and, in the case of students with specific needs, by the coordinator for students with specific needs (there are three coordinators for students with hearing, visual and physical impairments and for students with learning disabilities at the Faculty of Education of Comenius University). Students with specific needs can also make use of the services of the Centre for the Support of Students with Special Needs, which is a university-wide service.
Students from the Academic Senate, Faculty of Education of Comenius University, or individual heads of departments or vice-deans, also contribute to the counselling of students and to the possible solution of their problems.
Students can also make use of the services of psychologists and the Centre for Students with specific needs established at the Department of Special Education.
The faculty also has a career counselling specialist who is available to students if needed.
The study counselor in the department has his/her dedicated tutoring consultation hours of two hours per week.
Throughout the semester, students have the opportunity to use the tutors' consultation hours for the established weekly working hours of four hours per week (Consultation hours of part-time tutors represent the aliquot amount of their workimg time), or other communication channels (e-mail, MS Teams) for individual consultation and advice on how to progress effectively in their studies. Equally, after completing each stage of assessment, they may use subject teacher consultation to obtain individual feedback on the rate of achievement of learning outcomes and further recommendations for learning.
Study advisors and coordinators for students with specific needs are given a whole fourth section in the internal order 23/2021 of the Internal Assurance System (VSZK) of Higher Education at the University of Bratislava, which describes in detail the position, powers, tasks, competences.
In Article 41 it even defines a student study advisor from among the students active in the student section of the Academic Senate, Faculty of Education, Comenius University, whose task is mainly to answer the questions of the students of the faculty concerning teaching and to submit their suggestions to the relevant vice-dean, dean, head of the study department or representatives of individual departments.

The rules of assessment are specified in the Internal Order of the Dean of the Faculty of Education, Comenius University 1/2020 Study Regulations, as well as in the Internal Order 23/2021. Each student has the possibility to enrol for assessment/examination on several dates according to the conditions set out in the Study Regulations.
The lecturer may determine that the examination dates are divided into regular and re-sit dates. The cumulative capacity of regular examination dates shall be at least 125% of the number of students enrolled in the course. If a student has received a grade of Fx on a regular examination date or has failed to register on time for one of the regular examination dates, the student shall be entitled to one re-sit date. The student has the right not to accept the grade on the examination date and to attend the re-sit examination date.
According to the Study Regulations, a student has the right to request a re-sit examination by examination board; this also applies to written assessments. In the case of re-enrolment in a course, the student may also request a board examination in the regular examination period. The student shall submit a written request for a board examination to the dean, while stating his/her reasons. The dean, on the proposal of the study program guarantor, appoints an examination board of at least three members; the chair of the examination board is usually the teacher of the course in question. The board form of examination may also take place without the student's request. Every student has the right to be informed of the marking of his/her examination, of the errors and of the correct solution. If more than one teacher is involved in the teaching of the course or if the course is taught in more than one program of study, the conditions shall be published by the teachers by mutual agreement; the published conditions must be identical in content. The doctoral colloquium course is assessed by several teachers, usually supervisors, who supervise their doctoral students and, at the stage of completion of the doctoral colloquium course, participate in the presentation of their doctoral students' research projects at the third session of the doctoral colloquium: Presentation of research projects and debate. Students will elaborate a set of their own beliefs, opinions and attitudes on the basis of acquired theoretical knowledge, supported by research findings from conducted domestic and international research, and confront them with their subjective experiences. In presenting, justifying and managing colloquial discussions, they develop presentation and argumentation skills. The final mark from the evaluations of the supervisors present is written by the responsible person of the study program who is also present at the presentation of the research project in the third block of the PhD colloquium. The research project presented is usually the basis for the written part of the dissertation.

Subject information lists (attached in the application)
The admission procedure, the course of study and the recognition of education are mainly regulated in the IR no. 1/2020 Study Regulations for all stages of study.
The study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures has precisely defined criteria for all stages of study. The conditions and organisational details of the admission procedure are published within the statutory deadlines in the usual way at the faculty, usually on the faculty's website. Information on the admission procedure is also provided to prospective students at open days, where representatives of the department specify the conditions for applicants and the admission procedure.
The faculty has published every AY in the usual way information about studies. The conditions of admission are published, as well as the conditions for admission to a higher level of study and, where appropriate, the precise criteria for the differential examination of transfer students.
The institution publishes the study programme capacities according to the statutory deadlines.
During the implementation of the SP, the department, in coordination with the faculty authorities, examines the number of students in the study programme so that the procedures for determining the capacity of the study programme corresponding to the following, are maintained during the admission of students:
- the content and scope of the programme of study (form, methods, applied learning activities and teaching and learning tools, learning objectives and related outcomes of the programme of study),
- the requirements of stakeholders and the employability of graduates,
- the financial, staffing, space, material capacities of the study programme,
- the result of the evaluation of the study programme or similar study programmes (if the calculation of the capacity of a new study programme).
Based on the above, the maximum capacity of the study programme is set to allow the SP providers to have sufficient capacity dedicated to work with individual students.
Number of students enrolled in the programme over the last 5 years:
2017: 4 (full-time: 3) (part-time: 1)
2018: 1 (full-time: 0) (part-time: 1)

To ensure research integrity and to prevent and solve plagiarism and other academic frauds, the study programme of didactics of foreign languages and literatures uses standard plagiarism detection systems, in AIS and Theses.cz. The originality of the submitted thesis is verified by at least two plagiarism detection systems.
The creative activities of students are subject to strict criteria for final theses. Each written report for a final thesis must contain the supervisor´s comment on the percentage match with other theses in CRZP. The supervisor of the thesis must always comment on the control of originality, even if the match is 0%. The student´s supervisor must provide an explanatory stance if the percentage match is above 10%, if the percentage match is 30% or higher the supervisor must provide detailed reasons of his/ her acceptance/rejection of the percentage match. The opponent must provide a statement if the percentage match is 30% or higher. If the result of the control of originality is 30% or more, the state examination committee must discuss this matter and provide the result of their consensus in the protocol of state exam.
In the event of disruption to research integrity, fraud, Ethical codex breach, which forms part of (Internal Regulation) VP 23/2021 or other negative events, the university follows procedures stated in e. g. Disciplinary regulation, or directly in 23/2021 VSZK VŠ or Rules of Procedure of CU´s Ethical Committee etc.

The university issues documents of education in accordance with the legislation in force on the basis of the models valid for the Slovak Republic. These include in particular diploma, diploma supplement, state examination/national examination certificate; multilingual if necessary.
Teachers in the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures are qualified experts in their field of study and continuously ensure the transfer of high-quality knowledge, experience, skills, competences, as well as personal characteristics and ethical principles. Erudition is manifested not only in pedagogical activities, but also in the creative activities of teachers. According to Act 131/2002, each teacher undergoes a selection procedure, which ensures that the professional meets the requirements for the relevant post in each study programme and for the specific study programme(s). The University supports its teaching staff in the development of their qualification growth, either through educational activities and events organised for this purpose (training, seminars, courses, departmental staff meetings, etc.) or supports its staff in participating in activities organised by another institution in Slovakia or abroad (conferences, professional seminars, internships, teacher mobility, etc.). Teachers working in each study programme are eligible to teach based on their publications and other creative activities, pedagogical skills, competences, and language skills. The qualification of the teachers is sufficient to engage them in multiple levels of education.
In the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures (third level), the number of teachers is adequate, the working capacity corresponds to the expected number of students and the labour intensity of educational activities. Profile courses are taught by associate professors and professors who are experts in the field of knowledge (in the field of study or with an overlap into another field), and the results of their creative activities correspond to the given level of study (VTC). Throughout the study program, lectures are given by associate professors and professors; seminars and exercises are given by assistant professors in addition to associate professors and professors. The professional qualifications of the teachers providing the third cycle curriculum are at least one level higher than the qualifications attained on completion of the third cycle curriculum. Teachers are continuously engaged in creative and research activities, as well as other professional activities and activities, and are active in various trade and professional organisations in Slovakia and abroad according to their specialisation, in editorial boards of domestic and foreign journals, committees, etc. In the context of scientific and research activities, the persons responsible for the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures, together with other members of the relevant departments, are also currently engaged in numerous projects, as outlined below:

Existing lexical minima as basic standards in the assessment of the competence of foreign language skills at levels A1-C1 of the European Framework of Reference for Languages do not reflect the fundamental linguistic, didactic and psychological requirements at the descripton of vocabulary and the mediation of vocabulary in terms of usual, typically settled combinatorics of lexical items.
Didactics of foreign language has yet failed to reflect actual results of linguistic and psycholinguistic research in combinatorics of language elements at all levels of the language system, although it is a fundamental theoretical knowledge, based on empirical research of data, collected in huge linguistic corpora and discovered by new technologies which are based on exact experimental methods.
There are four essential steps to do: 1. To innovate fundamentally the approach to the development and description of lexical minima for foreign languages in terms of the collocability of lexical items, 2. To integrate the analysis of the collocations through modern technology and the modern linguistic methods to curricula for foreign language students, 3. Through the use of relevant linguistic resources, using methods of corpus linguistics to upgrade existing lexical standards in terms of collocability of lexical units 4. To develop innovative learning materials to improve the study of a foreign language at universities with philological and teaching focus.
The lexical minimums in the existing standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) were updated and three university textbooks, Kollokationen I, II, III, were developed. A university textbook Kollokationen im Sprachsystem und Sprachgebrauch. Ein Lerhbuch has been written about fixed expressions.

Research of combinatorics of language elements at all levels of language is one of the core linguistic problems. The results of such research are applied to describe the grammatical and lexical system with direct use in the creation of dictionaries, grammars, and textbooks. Confrontational research is designed to identify analogies and anomalies in lexical collocability of words and determine the level of identity and idiosyncrasies in collocational disposition of units in the two languages. Modern technologies in the field of computational linguistics and corpus lexicography offer a new methodological approach to the analysis of collocability of language units. However, philology studies currently do not reflect the dynamic and rapid development of technology in the field of corpus linguistics. One of crucial elements in the process of innovation and upgrading of philology studies is raising awareness of new tools, technologies, and applications for research, learning and teaching languages.

A joint project of the Faculty of Arts, UMB in Banská Bystrica and the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava; principal researcher: doc. PaedDr. Jana Javorčíková PhD. Co-researchers: Mgr. Ivana Pondelíková, PhD., PhDr. Jana Pecníková, PhD.; from 2022: PhDr. Ivica Kolečáni Lenčová, PhD., Mgr. Eva Pršová, PhD.
The project is focused on the analysis of meanings and symbols of various artistic artefacts representing the urban identity of European cities (e.g. Vienna, London, Paris, and many others). It assumes that cultural sights have an enormous potential to reveal the origin, history, and genius loci of urban units, such as streets, squares, buildings, legends, and similar phenomena. The aim of the research is to create a corpus of symbols that in the urban context define the respective culture and its impression in the world. This aim will be achieved by the analysis of literary artifacts (such as literary texts, myths, and legends) and other phenomena, such as architecture, sculpturing, music, fine arts, etc. which are typical for the selected region. Better awareness of cultural sights will serve as an information database, reflecting the origin or selected cultural realia and thus increasing intercultural competence.

The project Tertiary Language Methodology in the Context of Plurilingualism Using New Technologies and Strategies of Facilitating Potential in the Process of Second Foreign Language (L3) Learning after English (L2) is focused on defining bases and principles of the tertiary language (L3 to Ln) methodology via application space of cognitive and contrastive linguistics in the context of language typology and intercomprehension, neurological and biological principles of learning with the emphasis on the aspect of motivation and affective involvement of learners and on the background of inclusive concept of language and education policies of Slovakia and the EU countries. Reflections proceed from the point of view of a learner and head towards the support of the concept of plurilingualism from the viewpoint of applied linguistics and elaboration of the methodology of tertiary language in the conditions of Slovak educational system using digital technologies and electronic applications.
The project makes room for doc.

VEGA 1/0326/16: Mentálno-jazykové inakosti a kultivovaná komunikácia/Mental-language otherness and standard communication
A joint project of the Faculty of Arts, UMB in Banská Bystrica and the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava; principal researcher: doc. PaedDr. Zdenko Dobrík, PhD.; co-researchers: PhDr. Eva Molnárová, PhD., Mgr. Jana Lauková, PhD., doc. PhDr. Ivica Kolečáni Lenčová, PhD., Mgr. Lujza Urbancová, PhD.
The last-mentioned merges knowledge from semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, theory of communication and interactional sociolinguistics. To certain extent the project under review belongs to didactics of foreign languages and cultures. The basic idea is knowledge on contemporary communication misunderstanding of various origin among (super) societies as well as (super)societies and an individual. One of basic reasons is different mental and relating language depicting of certain socio-cultural reality (e. g. migration, nuclear power plant) by partners in communication (language speakers). The research outcome will be identification, description and interpretation of mental-language otherness appearing within communication about certain socio-cultural reality among language speakers, belonging to diverse socio-cultural societies.
APVV-20-0179 Interaktívny hypertextový lexikón literárnej vedy s korpusom kľúčových literárnovedných textov / Interactive hypertext lexicon of literary studies with a corpus of key literary studies texts (2021 – 2025), A joint project of the Institute of World Literature of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Slovak Literature of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava, FSŠ, UKF in Nitra, the Faculty of Arts, UKF in Nitra, the Faculty of Arts, PU in Prešov, the Faculty of Arts, University of Pavol Jozef Šafárik in Košice, principal researcher: Mgr. Roman Mikuláš, PhD., co-researchers: doc. Mgr. Andrea Mikulášová, PhD., doc. Mgr. Renáta Bojničanová, PhD.
The main aim of the project is the creation of an interactive lexicon of literary studies terms in hypertext format together with a corpus of texts from the said field. The project follows up on the work on the electronic Hyperlexicon of Concepts and Categories in Literary Studies which was created in two VEGA research projects. The updated and expanded Hyperlexicon will adopt new content-related and functional elements. In terms of function, the work will be more interactive and open; in terms of content, the Hyperlexicon will now include important texts which in their time helped spearhead new modes of thinking or even whole new paradigms. However, the hypertextuality of the lexicon will still be retained. The experts who will author the new entries will not only summarize the current body of knowledge but also conduct their own research and other related publication activities in accordance with the aims of the project to provide even more up to date findings on the subject matter. We are convinced that such a broad and synthesizing collaborative endeavor must be rooted in basic research. As of today, Slovak literary scholars do not have access to a dictionary that would summarize the state of the art knowledge in the field in a broad manner and across individual philological specialization and would be fully available to them online.
VEGA 2/0111/20 Interdiskurzívne konštruovanie reality v literatúre / The Interdiscursive Construction of Reality in Literature (2020 – 2023), A joint project of the Institute of World Literature of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava, the Faculty of Arts, University of Matej Bel in Banská Bystrica, the Faculty of Arts, UKF in Nitra, principal researcher: Mgr. Roman Mikuláš, PhD., co-researchers: doc. Mgr. Andrea Mikulášová, PhD., Dr. phil. Carola Heinrich.
The project is focused on ways of exploring literature as an interdiscourse from a teoretical literary perspective. The research team will focus on the analysis of the potential of literary studies to describe literature as a phenomenon of interdiscourses, i.e., mutual communication and interrelation of the system of literature with other systems at various levels within the preconceived framework of interaction. These other systems constitute specific discourses (such as those of philosophy, mathematics, physics, biology, cognitive sciences, medicine, information technology and many others), producing knowledge that is communicated both within its original discourses and outside these discourses, either within the scientific system (interdisciplinary approach) or across various social systems via interdiscourses (such as literature, art, journalism, and politics).

Roman Mikuláš, PhD., co-researchers doc. Mgr. Andrea Mikulášová, PhD.
This project is the continuation of an existing project bearing the same name. Its chief objective was, and still is, the creation of a lexicon of literary studies in hypertext medium. The hyperlexicon contains terms describing aspects of literary texts and also concepts that belong to the literary meta-discussion. The necessity to continue with the project and fulfill its objectives are due to the fact that the conclusions of the discussions in the ongoing project infer high degrees of complexity and, simultaneously, the difficulty of the problem of orientation within the language of literary studies in various areas of research traditions. Yet another motivation for the continuation of the project resides in the great dynamics of transformation of knowledge between disciplines (in recent times increasingly among the natural, technological, and human sciences), however always wanting to benefit from the anticipation of trends in the field of meta-theory or methodology.

Vega 1/0618/20 Romance languages and multilingualism. The development of tense and aspect marking in the interlanguage.
Team: Mgr. Zuzana Tóth, PhD. (PI), CIs: PhDr. Mária Medveczká, PhD., Mgr. Tomáš Hlava, PhD., Mgr. Mária Dziviaková, PhD., PhDr. Mojmír Malovecký, PhD., doc. Mgr. Renáta Bojničanová, PhD., prof. Dr. György Domokos, PhD., Mgr. François Tricoire, doc. Palágyi Tivadar, PhD., Mgr. Radana Štrbáková, PhD.
The project aims to examine the development of tense and aspect in the interlanguage of multilingual learners of Romance languages, acquired as a third language in Slovakia. According to a range of studies on multilingualism (e.g., Jessner, 2008; Jessner et al., 2016), multilingual learners are not multiple monolinguals, but possess specific skills and characteristics forming the so-called Multilingualism-factor (M-factor). However, multilinguals are not able to exploit their M-factor automatically, they may need specific training in multilingual skills, to exploit the catalytic effect of multilingualism on interlanguage development. The present project is longitudinal research, which aims to examine the effect of multilingual workshops, aiming to raise multilingual awareness, on interlanguage development of tense and aspect in Romance languages. The participants will be students learning Romance languages at the Faculty of Education of the Comenius University in Bratislava.
Vega 1/0563/19 Unknown documents for the history of Slovakia in Italian archives (14th 16th century).
Team: prof. Dr. György Domokos, PhD. (PI), CIs: PhDr. Mojmír Malovecký, PhD., doc. Mgr. Renáta Bojničanová, PhD., PhDr. Mária Medveczká, PhD., doc. PhDr. Miroslav Kamenický, PhD., Mgr. Monika Tihanyiová, PhD.
The aim of the project is to offer new sources for historical research. The project determines selection criteria and, on the bases of them, selects and prepares for the publication important, with priority on yet unknown, unpublished sources from archives in Italy, from the period of 14th to 16th centuries, connected to the history of Slovakia. It contributes to the understanding of the studied sources on regional and European history, its economic, cultural, and social processes through making accessible diplomatic letters and reports, count books of the Diocese of Esztergom, as well as maps and artistic representations from the period of anti-Turkish Wars in the territory of Slovakia.
Below we list other activities of the responsible persons from their creative and research activities, other professional activities and activities in trade union and professional organizations in Slovakia and abroad, in editorial boards of domestic and foreign journals, commissions, etc.
Prof. Dr. György Domokos, PhD.
Research area: Prof. Domokos has published several works on the morphology and syntax of the Italian language, on dialects in northern Italy and language in the works of Bonvensini dra Riva, which, in addition to the scientific aspect, also contain a didactic aspect. It is also important to highlight those publications in which he focuses on the history of pedagogy, namely the unearthing of archival documents related to teaching in the territory of Hungary in the Middle Ages and the modern period (the founding of the Piarist grammar school in Podolínec, the Latin textbook of Jan Pannonia). He is a principal researcher of the projects VESTIGIA: Hungarian documents in Italian archives (Grant of the state grant agency OTKA, project no. 81430, 2010-2015), VESTIGIA II: Hungarian documents in Italian archives (Grant of the state grant agency OTKA, project no. 128797, 2018-2022) and VEGA 1/0563/19 (2019-2022) Unknown Sources on the History of Slovakia in Italian Archives coordinates research on Italian documents in Central European archives as well as documents of Hungarian origin in Italian archives. Among the most important empirical results is the method for processing these documents, which enables their systematic examination. An electronic database has been created to preserve and sort the data, where, thanks to systematic scientific activity, more than 3,200 records relating to the Kingdom of Hungary have been stored. The database is intended for practising scholars, other new specialists in Italian palaeography and for teaching the historical periods of the Italian language and its territorial specificities. Individual tools in the VESTIGIA project are created in a way that guides the learner.
Members of the research team use these original documents at different levels in bachelor, master and doctoral programmes in Italian. By applying a method based on the synthesis of palaeographical, linguistic, and historical knowledge based on the interpretation of specific ancient manuscripts, prof. Domokos empirically verifies it. The essence of the method is a fundamental innovation in the way historical documents are made available for teaching purposes by the original way of the processing of the indexing of the documents and the explanations, which makes it possible to introduce a new dimension in the teaching of philological contextual analysis. This fundamentally increases the availability of newly discovered authentic palaeographic material directly in the classroom. Students work in class under the guidance of the teacher and thus become actors in the scholarly incubator of the study of the history of the Italian language. Another innovation is the use of newly discovered sources on the history of relations between Italy and Hungary. This is a unique approach - students study authentic documents that have constituted the history of intercultural relations between Central Europe and the Mediterranean area directly. They do not study the issue based on a ready-made synthesis; they are encouraged to work independently to synthesize knowledge on the material under study. In the humanities, such an approach is unique and original; it represents a rare empirical philological work that leads to a holistic study of linguistic phenomena in their authentic context, conducive to a philological hermeneutic of learning to understand an older Italian text. Through his research on Italian sources in Hungary, he also came into contact with other research teams. As an external expert of the Budapest research group Fragmenta Codicum, he has been asked on several occasions to identify, interpret and date Italian manuscripts found in the plates of ancient codices; he has also been invited to collaborate on research on other sources (2015 - research on sources on the Battle of Mohács and the death of Louis II). To examine 16th-century manuscripts, he was invited to participate in the Fibula project aimed at researching Italian, Spanish, and French material in the "Berlin Collection" of the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków, led by Piotr Tylus and Roman Sosnowski (NPRH project, Nr 11H 13 0720 82 Kultura romańska w Polsce - od średniowiecza do końca XVIII wieku - na podstawie kolekkcja rękopisów francuskich i włoskich w zbiorach Biblioteki Jagiellońskiej. 2014 - 2020. Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Poland). Similarly, he participates in the work of a research team led by Peter Kasz from the University of Szeged, which focuses on the examination and publication of sources related to the siege of Buda in 1541 (NKFIH project K-119237 Buda Oppugnata - Wolfgang Lazius elfeledett történeti műve. 2016 - 2020. Szegedi Tudományegyetem, Hungary). In this context, he discovered two important sources in Italy, which he subsequently published in the original language and Hungarian translation, enriched with historical and philological apparatus. The novelistic accent of the work was fully reflected in his participation in the VEGA 1/0780/16 project White Places in the Slovak Translation of the Spanish Theatre of the Golden Age (Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava, 2016-2018).

Publications:
Prof. Domokos has published several works on the morphology and syntax of the Italian language, research on dialects in northern Italy and language in the works of Bonvensini dra Riva, which contain a didactic aspect in addition to the scientific one. It is also important to highlight those publications in which he focuses on the history of pedagogy, namely the unearthing of archival documents related to teaching in the territory of Hungary in the Middle Ages and the modern period (the founding of the Piarist grammar school in Podolínec, the Latin textbook of Jan Pannonia).
Domokos György: A jámbor Herkules. Estei Hippolit bíboros egri kormányzója, Ercole Pio beszámolói Magyarországról 1508-1510 [Pious Hercules. The Jäger governor of Cardinal Hippolyte d'Este, Ercole Pio's reports from Hungary]. Budapest, 2019.
The work contains an analysis of 24 letters written by Ercole Pio during his stay in Hungary, where he served as regent of the territory of Jagr (Eger) between 1508-1510. These documents, which were discovered by the author of the monograph in Modena, Italy, contain important information concerning cultural history, economic life and important personalities and events of the time. The analysis focuses on the context, language, and context of the written reports. Compared to other documents from the period, these sources point to yet unknown contexts, thus contributing significantly to further historical research.
Domokos György et al.: Vestigia 2: magyar források Itáliából [Vestiga 2: Hungarian sources from Italy]. Piliscsaba, 2018. György Domokos is the compiler of the scholarly proceedings of the Vestigia 2 research team, in which he is also the co-author of one of the studies and the translator of the other three studies. The book has generated a strong response in Hungary. The work offers an insight into, and analysis of documents found in the Italian archives in the cities of Milano, Modena, Mantova and Gonzaga. It builds on the first Vestigia project volume, but in comparison it explores a wider space and a broader time period.
Domokos György et al.: Vestigia. Mohács előtti magyar források olasz könyvtárakban. [Vestigia: Hungarian sources from before the Battle of Mohács in Italian libraries] Piliscsaba, 2015. The first scholarly volume of the international research collective Vestigia, led by György Domokos, presents the results of archival research in the cities of Milan and Modena. The results are an important starting point for further historical research.
Domokos György: La sintassi volgare di Bonvesin dra Riva: aspetti di fonetica, morfologia e sintassi [The vernacular syntax of Bonvensin dra Riva, phonetic, morphological, and syntactic aspects]. Milano, 2008. The monograph presents a synchronic description of the state of the language in the Middle Ages. From the methodological point of view, it is distinguished by the fact that it contains a grammatical description of a unified corpus, useful for further research on the history and development of the language. The methodology used was originally developed for the description of the medieval language of Tuscany, which is considered to be the basis of today's Italian. The response to this work indicates that its results are well known in the international scholarly environment.
Domokos György: Remarks on Italian and Hungarian verb system in contrastive approach. (XLinguae 2016). György Domokos worked for seventeen years as a secondary school teacher of Italian, a longer period of which coincided with his time at the university. He reflects the practical experience thus acquired as well as the theoretical knowledge and the results of his scientific research in this study, registered in the Scopus citation database, which focuses on the comparison of the verb system of Hungarian and Italian, as well as on the analysis of the way the verb system of Italian is presented in Hungarian textbooks. The theoretical and methodological conclusions of the study are beneficial for the teaching of Italian as a foreign language.
Domokos György: Il tesoro nascosto manuale di lingua italiana con linguaggio ecclesiastico. Budapest, 2005. A series of textbooks in four languages, produced as part of a project of the Gáspár Károli University, which was awarded the European Prize for Languages (Európai Nyelvi Díj). György Domokos is the author of the Italian language textbook, ancillary material, a workbook, an audio-material, and a CD-ROM, and in its design, he also used the method of partial simulation (simulazione parziale), which has been successfully applied in the teaching of several languages before.

Annotations of research projects (2016-2021):
KEGA 042UK-4/2017 Linguistic description, didactics, and integration of collocations as the relevant part of the vocabulary in the curricula and teaching materials for higher education. (2017 – 2019)
A joint project of the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava, and FF UCM in Trnava; principal researcher prof. PhDr. Mária Vajičková, CSc. Co-researchers. Mgr. Peter Ďurčo, CSc., doc. PhDr. Ivica Kolečáni Lenčová, PhD., PaedDr. Peter Gergel; Mgr. Mgr. Peter Gerger, PhD., Mgr. Peter Gerger, PhD., Mgr. Simona Tomášková, PhD., Mgr. Anna Fábová.
Existing lexical minima as basic standards in the assessment of the competence of foreign language skills at levels A1-C1 of the European Framework of Reference for Languages do not reflect the fundamental linguistic, didactic, and psychological requirements at the description of vocabulary and the mediation of vocabulary in terms of usual, typically settled combinatorics of lexical items.
Didactics of foreign language yet failed to reflect actual results of linguistic and psycholinguistic research in combinatorics of language elements at all levels of the language system, although it is a fundamental theoretical knowledge, based on empirical research of data, collected in huge linguistic corpora, and discovered by modern technologies which are based on exact experimental methods.
There are four essential steps to do: 1. To innovate fundamentally the approach to the development and description of lexical minima for foreign languages in terms of the collocability of lexical items, 2. To integrate the analysis of the collocations through modern technology and the modern linguistic methods to curricula for foreign language students, 3. Through the use of relevant linguistic resources, using methods of corpus linguistics to upgrade existing lexical standards in terms of collocability of lexical units 4. To develop innovative learning materials to improve the study of a foreign language at universities with philological and teaching focus.
The lexical minimums in the existing standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) were updated and three university textbooks, Kollokationen I, II, III, were developed. A university textbook Kollokationen im Sprachsystem und Sprachgebrauch. Ein Lerhbuch has been written about fixed expressions.
KEGA 042UK-4/2014 Contrastive analysis of fixed expressions in German and Slovak (2014 – 2016)
A joint project of the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava, and FF UCM in Trnava; principal researcher: prof. PhDr. Mária Vajičková, CSc. Deputy project leader: prof. Peter Ďurčo, CSc.; Research Team: Mgr. Katarína Hromadová, PhD.; Mgr. Mgr. Monika Šajánková, PhD; doc. Ivica Kolečáni Lenčová, PhD; PaedDr. Peter Gergel; Mgr. Simona Tomášková.
Research of combinatorics of language elements at all levels of language is one of the core linguistic problems. The results of such research are applied to describe the grammatical and lexical system with direct use in the creation of dictionaries, grammars, and textbooks. Confrontational research is designed to identify analogies and anomalies in lexical collocability of words and determine the level of identity and idiosyncrasies in collocational disposition of units in the two languages. Modern technologies in the field of computational linguistics and corpus lexicography offer a new methodological approach to the analysis of collocability of language units. However, philology studies currently do not reflect the dynamic and rapid development of technology in the field of corpus linguistics. One of crucial elements in the process of innovation and upgrading of philology studies is raising awareness of new tools, technologies, and applications for research, learning and teaching languages.

The main goal of the monograph is to reconcile the categories that participate in the stylistic composition of the text and come into consideration as stylistic means. The work creates a theoretical basis for stylistic analysis of texts according to the latest research in textual stylistics and its related disciplines and expands it with methodological context. The monograph moves from linguistic disciplines that examine text and style, from ancient rhetoric through classical linguistics, structuralism, functional stylistics, pragmatically oriented stylistics, to stylistics concentrating on style as a kind of speech communication. Appropriate attention is paid to textual paradigm, basic semantic theories about text, textual criteria and the typology of text.In this work, a comprehensive system of styles was created, consisting of macro-, media- and microstructural stylistic means, drawing attention to their mutual connection and conditionality. From macrostructural stylistic factors and mediostructural stylistic principles, we proceed from microstructural verbal, nonverbal and compositional styles. It is pointed out how verbal (linguistic and para-linguistic) means of expression from all basic language levels and also from their subsystems participate in the stylistic rendering of the text. The work concludes with the classification of poetic figures and tropes as established linguistic irregularities.

The publication introduces stylistic principles of creating administrative and selected legal texts. It proceeds from the explanation of basic concepts in the field of stylistics and the principles of creating factual texts to the stylistic principles of creating selected professional texts. The principles of creating administrative texts are based on European Union texts in English. The characteristics of the creation of legal texts focus on the principles of repetition and variation. It is based primarily on legal texts in official communication between the Slovak judicial authorities and the judicial authorities of German-speaking countries. The principle of repetition is also approached on the example of the analysis of a representative text of the European Union.
Another group of publications by prof. PhDr. Mária Vajičková, CSc. consists of university textbooks, which are used in the teaching of profile subjects in the Bachelor and Master studies of German language and literature.

Another group of publications by prof. PhDr. Mária Vajičková, CSc., consists of textbooks and exercise books on collocations, which were created within the framework of two KEGA projects in the years 2014-2016 and 2017-2019. https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/ustavy/ustav-filologickych-studii/veda-a-vyskum/

The work pays attention to the text-creating and communicative function of collocations. Accordingly, the basic axioms of communication and the most important concepts of textual linguistics are explained right at the beginning. It is further emphasized that the first researches on collocations pointed to their text-forming potencies and to the fact that collocations are primarily an important building block of the text and only with repeated occurrence have they become stabilized and lexicalized. Collocations play a very important role in the cohesion and coherence of the text, i.e. in the unambiguous linguistic rendering and also in the interpretation of non-linguistic reality. The aim of the work is, in addition to monitoring linguistic competence, also to support the language skills of the addressees. Numerous examples of collocations serve this purpose and indicate which established phrases are typical for written and which for oral communication. The explanation of theoretical linguistic and pragmatic linguistic contexts is followed by exercises and tasks.

In scientific studies published abroad (Germany, Poland, Romania, Austria, Finland) and in domestic publishing houses, prof. Vajičková deals with other issues in phraseology, word formation, lexical semantics, stylistics, such as phraseological variants, updating and modification, phrases in advertising texts, she points out their text-forming functions, the differences between phrases and collocations, the place of collocations in text production, the reception and production of a text in a foreign language, and some selected textual genres, such as the letter, etc. Below we present only one study each from studies published in foreign journals or proceedings:

Annotations of research projects (2016-2021):
- VEGA č. 1/0495/17 Vzťah medzi mentálnymi reprezentáciami systému anglického jazyka, performanciou v metalingvistických úlohách a produkciou v reálnych komunikačných situáciách pri učení sa anglického jazyka / Interrelation between the mental representation of system, performance in metalinguistic tasks and production in real commincative situations in English language learning, (2017 – 2019) – responsible member of the research team. The project followed the results of the VEGA project No. 1/0716/13 and other researches at KAJL PdFUK. The aim of the project was to confirm the dominance of traditional approaches to teaching English grammar, characterized by an overestimation of declarative knowledge at the expense of procedural knowledge. At the same time, it was investigated for which structural-functional characteristics this discrepancy is most pronounced. Subsequently, application recommendations were developed at the level of pedagogical-psychological principles and specific methodological recommendations. Members of the research team: PaedDr. M. Šipošová, PhD, PhDr. R. Pavlík, PhD., Mgr. T. Hlava, PhD., Mgr. K. Hankerová, PhD., PaedDr. Z. Vávrová.
- VEGA 1/0354/14 Vplyv ekonomizačných faktorov reči na štruktúru a používanie jazykových jednotiek, (2014 – 2016), KAJL PdFUK – member of the research team. The project focused on the tendency of linguistic units (multi-word constructions, lexemes, morphemes, sound units, etc.) to simplify in form. The aim was to obtain empirical data on the main types of economisation processes operating mainly on the phonological and lexical levels of the English and Slovak languages. The project evaluated the status of simplified linguistic units and their original forms from the stylistic, sociolinguistic, pragmatic and usural point of view, analysed and compared the degree and reasons for the occurrence of simplified forms on different linguistic levels, and assessed their importance in the communicative process.

The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of undergraduate preparation on the formation of the pedagogical thinking of future English language teachers, to find out their initial beliefs, to find out how and by what these subjects are influenced in the courses of general didactics, English didactics, morphology and psycholinguistics, and then to determine whether and to what extent there is a modification of the initial beliefs and the view of English grammar teaching.

doc. PhDr. Ivica Kolečáni Lenčová, PhD.
Doc. PhDr. Ivica Kolečáni Lenčová, PhD. is a representative of the intercultural approach in foreign language didactics in her pedagogical and scientific-research activities. She studies the field of foreign language didactics in interdisciplinary connection with pedagogy, educational psychology and neurodidactics, as well as aesthetics and art theory. In her scientific and pedagogical work, she reflects the findings of the latest research and scientific research abroad and at home, confronts and correlates them with the socio-cultural and educational conditions in Slovakia. In her research she pays special attention to the issues of didactic theory and research of German language textbooks with a focus on the literary and cultural component, visual literacy and the function of visual media in foreign language education in relation to the complex development of the pupil, aesthetic learning through artistic artefacts and humanistic practices in foreign language education with a focus on holistic pedagogy.
The dominant areas of scientific research and pedagogical focus are:
1.aesthetic learning in foreign language education in the intentions of the cultural studies approach through artistic artefacts (with an emphasis on literature and visual arts);
2.visual media and the development of visual literacy in foreign language education with the use of new technologies;
3.holistic pedagogy and its implementation in German language teaching (with transfer to other languages - mother tongue and foreign languages);
4. innovations in pre-service and in-service training of German language teachers (holistic approach, functional connection of new media with artistic artefacts, open teaching, etc.);
5. a plurilingual approach in teaching German as L3, in this context early German language teaching, implications of the Linguistic Landscape into L3 teaching.
Ivica Kolečani Lenčova's most significant scientific achievements reflect her many years of efforts to make the teaching of German more effective by transforming the latest scientific research from the fields of pedagogy, didactics and auxiliary scientific disciplines into educational practice.
She strives for a more systematic and effective use of artistic and cultural artefacts with their specific potential in reflecting the complex development of the learner. Other areas are the penetration of alternative pedagogical concepts and innovative practices in foreign language didactics, the promotion of learner autonomy, new teacher competences, inclusive teaching and early German language teaching.

The publication introduces the Linguistic landscape as a phenomenon (not only) of our time. We are interested in its didactic use in foreign language teaching with a focus on promoting critical reading skills, improving communicative competence, perception of multilingualism and developing awareness of linguistic diversity. The theoretical basis is complemented by practical examples.

The publication presents the basic pillars of foreign language didactics focused on the visual medium and its functions in foreign language education.

The publication offers the theoretical foundations of didactics of literature, a comparison of various concepts of didactics of literature in connection with the educational reality in the teaching of German in Slovakia, with a focus on the literary component. Relying on the results achieved thanks to scientific knowledge in the field of theory of literature, pedagogy and intercultural orientation of foreign language didactics, it creates opportunities for creative activities and interpretation, promotes autonomy and openness, self-knowledge and intercultural awareness of the learner.
The publication is based on an innovative unity between studies and comparisons of current trends in literary theory, and compares various concepts of didactics of literature as well. Attention is also given to the mapping of the situation in teaching the German language in Slovakia, with particular emphasis on the literary element and analysis of its quantitative and qualitative representation in the teaching/learning process and in currently-used German course books. The author´s assumptions are based on the recent results in the theory of literature, pedagogy and intercultural trends in foreign language didactics, and their special application and interpretation in the educational environment of schools. The author´s platform is defined on the basis of the selection criteria, principles and innovative methodology used for implenentation of literary texts into the process of teaching. The author also offers a typology of methodology and suggestions for different types of activities applicable to the teaching/learning process at various competence levels, as defined by CEFR. The presented methodology is further enriched by a selection of teaching practice samples.

Other activities and positions - other significant contribution to the pedagogical process
Supervising students in their scientific and professional activities. The most significant achievements - in the faculty round of SVOUČ in the section of pedagogical sciences, student Veronika Jakubová won the top position (2016, 2017 - 1st place), student Kamila Sládková won the 1st place (2021).
She conducted research in educational practice to find out the application of literary artifacts. She analysed current German language textbooks to find out the quantitative and qualitative representation of literature. The findings indicated a sporadi representation or absence of a literary component in German language teaching. There is also a lack of specification of the literary component in the current legislative documents. On the basis of the findings of the unfavourable situation, she elaborated two integrated reading books Phantasieland Lesen I and II for the first and second grade of primary school as supplementary material for the teaching of the German language, together with a methodological and didactic manual for teachers, which includes a CD. It offers model procedures for working with literary texts as well as elaborated procedures for the texts. The integrated readers have been given a ministerial endorsement as supplementary material. It emphasizes cross-curricular cooperation, innovates didactic disciplines by implementing artistic artifacts and their functional use. She has extensive experience in the development of German language textbooks and is co-author of the Schau mal" 1 - 4 textbook set (includes a textbook, an exercise book, audio-material and teacher's guides). The textbooks were created in 1998-2001 as the first of their kind in the Central European region in cooperation of Slovak authors under the guidance of German didacticians, textbook authors (Neunert, König, Funk) under the guarantee of the Goethe-Institute in Bratislava. The textbooks are the first venture in the field of the creation of German language textbooks by Slovak authors in cooperation with German experts in the intent of intercultural didactics, taking into account our national specifics. Under her leadership, the publishing house Príroda has created the German language textbook : Grammatik-Karussell : German Baccalaureate for Secondary Schools (2012), focusing on important phenomena of German grammar for the language level B1 -B2. She is the author of publications that also serve as compulsory or recommended study material in German language departments in Slovakia and the Czech Republic (the most important are Lenčová, I. (2007): Celostná pedagogika ako cesta k humanizácii vyučovania. Na príkladoch z vyučovania nemeckého jazyka.

It serves to students and PhD students, as well as to teachers from various departments who are more deeply interested in the presented issues, or who need consultations in solving specific tasks or problems. She is involved in the conception and continuous innovation of the German language teaching curricula. Shee carries out extensive pedagogical activities within the framework of retraining, extension and further education of German teachers organised by various professional and educational institutions (ŠPÚ, MPC in Banská Bystrica and Bratislava, GI in Bratislava, Hueber Verlag Munich). She conducted open classes with pupils of primary and secondary schools (Žiar nad Hronom Primary School, GAS and ŠVK in Banská Bystrica etc.) with the participation of teachers (1998 - 2016). She conducts online workshops within the project Project of Volkswagen Slovakia Foundation: I want (to) learn German (2020 - 2021).

Assoc.prof. Mgr. Andrea Mikulášová, PhD.
Areas of interest
Doc. Mikulášová focuses her research on children's and youth literature in German-speaking countries, both from the perspective of literary theory and of insights into the developmental processes of children's and youth literature. Doc. Mikulášová deals with the conceptualization of research on literature for children and youth, which is based both on the research traditions of German literary studies and on the efforts to institutionally anchor research on literature for children and youth as an independent university discipline. In doing so, it problematizes relevant interdisciplinary transformations and tensions. By exploring theoretical possibilities, it reveals the penetration of structuralist, semiotic, but above all system-theoretic and constructivist approaches into research on children's and youth literature. It addresses various determinations of the relationship between children's and young adult literature and adult literature on multiple levels and against the background of genre, motivic characteristics and literary techniques, cognitive and social aspects of literary communication in the context of children's and young adult literature. Recent publications have focused on the phenomenon of interdiscursivity in literature and aspects of the poetics of cognition and intercultural literary scholarship.

The new edition of Bachmann's writings opens up the possibility of looking at her work in modified contexts. This innovative aspect of the study is fully taken into account and complemented by the impulses of the analytical model from the field of metaphorology. Students of German Studies and related disciplines can benefit from an analytical approach meaningfully modeled in this way.

The focus of the study enriches the knowledge of Austrian literature with aspects that have not yet been explored on the material. Jozef Haslinger forms an essential part of a cultural awareness of supra-regional, truly European scope. His uncompromisingly critical perspective can positively influence the educational process in the fields of German studies, general literary studies, historiography, political science and sociology.

The subject of the analysis is the novel Leben (Life, 2013) by the German author David Wagner. In fact, although designed as a novel, the book is more precisely an autopathography, which presents a personal and authentically reflective look at the experience of one’ s ownillness and describes the medical intervention, the surgical transplantation of a new liver. The medical specialist discourse plays an essential role in this context. Medical knowledge and personal reflections overlap like those areas of meaning from which analogies often emergeand in which metaphors have their origin. In the following, it is a matter of uncovering those areas that are combined to create analogies in order to describe their communicative functionon the basis of their possible implementation in the form of metaphors (also known as between-domain analogies). Particular consideration is given to the role of the medical specialist discourse and the question of how it shapes the analogization and metaphorization of one’ sown experience of illness and the experience of organ transplantation. In doing so, we rely largely on the analytical model based on the theory of figurative language by Hans Georg Coenen.

The article investigates the question of how sensual perception is carried out in literary texts. The explanations of the interplay of perception and communication are owed to the central theses of radical constructivism. In literature we often come across representations of situations or states in which the hypothesis (the opinion) and the perception (the sensorium) do not correspond with each other, resulting in a kind of destabilization. Irregularities of this kind are often (or especially) found in connection with disturbances / obstructions of communication. These facts are exemplified in the earlier works of Peter Handke.
Organisation of conferences over the last 6 years:
The conference "Problematic Aspects of Metaphor Research" / „Problémové aspekty výskumu metafory“ (2017) in collaboration with erudite scholars in the field of metaphology, discussed the possibilities of expanding the horizon of metaphor research in the context of the need to transfer knowledge about the metaphoricity of communication across disciplinary boundaries. Another conference on a broader international scale was held under the title "Problematic Aspects of Metaphor Research in an Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Perspective" / „Problémové aspekty výskumu metafory v interdisciplinárnej a transdisciplinárnej perspektíve“ (2018). The idea of this event aroused great interest and brought to Slovakia well-known scientific authorities from Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. At these two scientific forums, it was clearly demonstrated that having an interdisciplinary dialogue on research problems shared between scientific disciplines is not only meaningful, but essential for systematic research. The conferences were organized within the framework of the Hyperlexicon of Literary Studies Concepts and Categories II project. (http://usvl.sav.sk/wp/?p=1699, http://usvl.sav.sk/wp/?p=1699)

Characteristics of submitted outputs of research activities (VTC attached to the application)
In the didactics of foreign languages and literatures study programme, profile courses are provided by associate professors and professors who meet all the requirements for qualification and the level of creative activities in the given programme directed specifically to the given programme (see more in the Description of the programme). Professors and associate professors teaching profile subjects can be divided into four or five groups according to their professional qualifications: linguists, literary scholars, didacticians, as well as professors and associate professors working in pedagogy, psychology, scientific research methodology, etc, i.e. disciplines that play an important role in the training of future teachers of foreign languages and literatures, in the training of didacticians, as well as in the training of future scholars dealing with linguodidactic and literary-didactic topics. In their linguistics lectures, linguists point out universal or special linguistic phenomena that cause problems for the respondents when acquiring foreign languages. In literary studies lectures, in addition to the didactic aspect, the intercultural aspect is put to the fore. Selected subtopics in some subjects are taught by young colleagues (PaedDr. Peter Gergel, PhD., Mgr. Tomáš Hlava, PhD.) who specialize in the given topic and are preparing for habilitation. In this way we create and ensure generational continuity. The university continuously creates conditions for the qualification growth of experts, from bachelor studies through master and doctoral studies, with the possibility to habilitate in the relevant field, or to fulfil the conditions for the inauguration of professors. It is a longitudinal process of ensuring a sufficient number of erudite teachers and experts for a particular SP/STEM.

Profile subjects - as core subjects of the study plan in the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures, mainly in the form of lectures or seminars, are normally provided by university teachers in the function of professor or associate professor, who are active at the Faculty of Education and are responsible for the subject and are a guarantee of quality assurance of teaching and development of the subject. They design and conceive the content of the course in such a way that it takes into account the latest research results and that the required learning outcomes of the study programme are achieved. They follow the current trends in research tendencies and pedagogical methods and implement them in the educational process, so that the subject is in a continuous process of innovation. Their scientific outputs contribute to the development of the field of study, thus ensuring the smooth and permanent maintenance of the quality of education. They are the creators of textbooks and other didactic materials, using their experience from their teaching practice.
In the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures at the third level, lectures and other core educational activities in profile subjects are conducted by university teachers (professor and associate professor), who are active in the study field of Teaching and Educational Sciences.
They are employees of the Faculty of Education of Comenius University and staff of the following departments:
Department of English Language and Literature
Department of German Language and Literature
Department of Romance Languages and Literatures

Assistance to the student in the preparation of the thesis is provided through consultations, which serve primarily to:
-formulate the intention and specify the problem the student wishes to address,
-discuss the level at which the problem is to be addressed so that it corresponds to the appropriate level of the National Qualifications Framework,
-develop the content structure of the thesis project,
-verify the correct formulation of the main theses and methods of solution, processing and evaluation of the findings,
-discuss conclusions and recommendations.
The following lecturers, who have been approved as supervisors by the Scientific Council of Comenius University, can supervise dissertation theses in the Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures:

The monograph Diskurse der Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung focuses on the reflection of research on children's and youth literature, namely on the systematic reflection on different kinds of reviews of children's and youth literature. At the centre of the research on the genesis of literary scholarship on children's and youth adult literature in terms of the basic theses of discourse analysis is the utterance. Discourses organize utterances in historically variable ways, and their formations are ultimately the subject of analysis. This monograph explores the genesis and functions of theories of children's and youth literature in the twentieth century through discourse analysis, as well as elucidating the historical dynamics of the relationship between the various elements of the complex structure of the concept of children's and young adult literature.

The monograph Einblicke in die neuere österreichische Kinder- und Jugendliteratur , which aims to analyse the process of development of Austrian children´s and youth literature from the 1950s to the turn of the millennium. It is an outline of the historical process. Both formal analyses and a range of interpretations of texts of Austrian children´s and youth literature serve as arguments, which give intersubjective testimony to the incorporation of a certain work in the literary and general cultural communication environment. The monograph offers insights into the theoretical thinking about literature for children and youth in a historical cross-section, that can help students to become familiar with the terminology in specific theoretical contexts, to recognize and at the same time to understand the assumptions and forms of the aesthetic impact of literature on readers of different age groups.

Nümbrecht: Kirsch-Verlag 2011 (co-author with Romanom Mikuláš) provides an overview of the most significant milestones and "paradigm shifts" in the field of literary studies, with the transformations of literary German studies at the forefront of interest. The aim of the work is to outline the most significant contours of the various theories and methods and to critically evaluate the problematic points. For each theory, the focus is on its potential to generate knowledge. The task of the textbook is not to establish/determine a definitive systematics; rather, it is a systematic reflection on literary phenomena, to point to the fact that literary scholarship is open to change on the path of the search for its identity. The undergraduate textbook is intended for philological students and PhD students. Its aim is to provide an overview of literary scholarship in its diverse range in the contexts of development to the most recent trends. It is an appropriate study reference to enable the study of the theories, methods and directions of literary scholarship as a paradigmatically diversified discipline.

Ingeborg Bachmann is an icon of Austrian literature of the second half of the 20th century and an inseparable constant in European literature. With the publication of previously only archival texts and the reissue of literary fragments, her literary work is being put into a new perspective. The study responds to this social challenge in a specific way. The new edition of Bachmann's writings opens up the possibility of viewing her work in modified contexts. The study takes this innovative aspect fully into account and complements it with the impulses of an analytical model from the field of metaphilology. Disciplines such as German studies, literary studies and related fields can benefit from an analytical approach modelled in this meaningful way.

Metaphorology is one of the areas of philosophy of culture that deals with metaphorical forms of expressing human experience in communication. The present study, through the lens of this research model, focuses on the issues raised by the Austrian writer Joseph Haslinger in his world-famous novel, The Opera Ball. In its focus, the study enriches the knowledge of Austrian literature with aspects unexplored on the given material. Joseph Haslinger forms an essential part of cultural awareness of supra-regional, indeed European, scope. His uncompromisingly critical perspective can positively influence the educational process in the fields of German studies, general literary studies, historiography, political science and sociology.

The study deals with the Slovak writer Martin Kukučín and his works written during his stay in South America, Walk across Patagonia, and Mother Calling. At the same time, it gives a picture of regional literatures within Argentine and Chilean literature and introduces the Slovak writer to the context of these literatures. Research focused on the South American period of Martin Kukučín's life and work has a wide social connection and significance. This is because it introduces the Slovak writer into the context of foreign literatures, and at the same time presents Slovak literature as a part of world literature. In this study, we prove that in the places where Martin Kukučín stayed, his legacy is still relevant. Kukučín is not only a representative of Slovak realism, but it can also be included among the authors of regional South American literatures, namely Magallanes and Patagonian. The study was a stimulus for more extensive research, which resulted in many studies by a wide range of authors in the fields of culture, literature, linguistics, and translation.

The monograph Bandits and their image in the oral tradition: Folk prose deals with the comparison of different genres of prose thematically focused on the character of a bandit, especially the genre of historical legend. We compare historical legends about bandits in the Slovak and Catalan folk traditions. We analyze the similarities and differences in the processing of the bandit's biography, in the typology of the hero and the origin of various motives. The monograph includes an annotated anthology of Slovak bandit legends in Slovak and translated into Spanish, and an annotated anthology of Catalan bandit legends.

Don Quixote is one of the world's most famous figures in Spanish literature, resonating in the general consciousness as a symbol of selflessness and idealism. The research of Cervantes' work has developed into a special scientific specialization, in which experts from various fields of research find space. It turns out that its content makes this area inexhaustible and multifaceted. It can be said that Don Quixote-related topics are a specific international forum that the Hispanic cannot ignore. The findings presented in this scientific study can be used in the educational process to explain in more depth the enormous significance and cultural implications of Don Quixote Miguel de Cervantes.

The study “Theoretical thinking about the modern novel in 20th-century Spain: Ortega y Gasset and Pío Baroja from the current perspective” focuses on two important representatives of Spanish literature and philosophy from the beginning of the 20th century from a lesser-known point of view, namely from the point of view of literary theory. Both personalities set out their vision of the direction the novel should take as a representative genre of prose, Ortega y Gasset as a theorist, and Pío Baroja as a prolific novelist. In this study, we look at how their assumptions have been fulfilled after a hundred years of genre development and what they have not.

The monograph Ramonism and its response in Slovak literature: Ramón Gómez de la Serna and Ivan Horváth, focuses on finding connections in the literary work of two representatives of literature of the first half of the 20th century, which are united by similar authorial poetics. The monograph explains that the original authorial poetics of the Spanish writer Ramón Gómez de la Serna, called ramonism, had a response in Slovak literature and was particularly inspired by several works by the Slovak writer Ivan Horváth.

Research on literary communication takes place in a space that is highly complex and dynamic. German literary scholarship has carved out a firm and prominent position in these coordinates. This study conveys the main theoretical and methodological aspects of the research, which can potentially enter, or has already entered, with the traditions present in philological disciplines in Slovakia or Central Europe. Literary communication is a fundamental phenomenon whose research inevitably belongs to educational practice.

The set of canonical texts of literature is the result of social communication and at the same time its prerequisite. The literary canon is also a mirror of society. The reflection on the assumptions and forms of literary communication, of which the literary canon is an essential effect, constitutes the self-reflexive platform of society. The general literary canon forms the basis for the creation of the school canon. Knowledge of the communicative processes in the context of the formation of the canon is essential for the meaningful organization of educational practice.

The starting point of the study is Gregory Bateson's modern theory of perception. Bateson's view of the problem of perception is complex and allows it to be reflected in interdisciplinary dimensions. It is as applicable to literature as to other forms of aesthetic communication. In its application component, the study focuses on the works of the Austrian Nobel laureate Peter Handke, which are motivated by the forms of perception. The study uncovers essential aspects of Handke's work and enriches the knowledge of Austrian literature and the possibilities of its communication in educational practice.

As part of the teaching process, research, and support activities, teachers have a laptop, projector, and relevant IT equipment. All workspaces (classrooms, offices) are covered by a wired and wireless internet connection, so teachers have access to resources through the above databases. Staff providing teaching and research activities in the study programme of Didactics of foreign languages and literatures also have reference libraries at their disposal and, if necessary, lend publications to students who can draw from them in the preparation of seminar, final theses or in the preparation for the state examination.
The core workplaces of the staff providing teaching in the study programme of Didactics of foreign languages and literature have their own libraries, which are fully available to doctoral students.
To ensure a quality research and education infrastructure, the core departments providing the study programme of Didactics of foreign language have reference libraries and study rooms.
The library of the Department of English languages and Literature is located in the building at Šoltésova 4 (3rd floor, room no. 337). It currently has about 1,400 titles, which can be found directly in the library. The library fund of the departmental library consists of publications obtained in the form of donations from various institutions (e.g., the US Embassy, the British Council, etc.) as well as from private individuals. A list of all publications is available in OneDrive, through which the library collection is also regularly updated and checked. Library loans are made in person during the library's opening hours (4 days a week) and are registered by responsible persons (doctoral students). During the distance form of teaching, students have the opportunity to borrow books in agreement with the teachers.
The library of the Department of German Languages and Literature is located in the building at Šoltésova 4 (3rd floor, room no. Š333) and has at its disposal a library fund, which consists of professional journals, collections, and publications in the field of Germanic linguistics, literary science, and didactics of the German language and literature.
The library of the Department of Romance Languages and Literature is located at Šoltésova 4 (1st floor, room No. 3) and has a library collection (approx. 3000 volumes), which was built mainly from contributions from the Embassies of France, Belgium, Spain, Italy and obtained from domestic and foreign grants.

Academic Library of Comenius University - external resources available by the faculty:
There are two systems available for distance learning: Moodle, which is operated by the university, and MS Teams, which is operated in the Microsoft cloud. The Moodle system is mainly used for asynchronous forms of distance learning, in order to make study material available (e.g. presentations and exercises), or to jointly create materials (e.g. group work, collective writing). It also includes tools for obtaining feedback on the course, with the possibility of an anonymous response. The MS Teams system also enables synchronous forms of distance learning, through online lectures and seminars.
The method of studying all courses of the study programme is combined. This method allows to take advantage of e-learning even during ongoing contact teaching. Sharing study materials and exercises via Moodle contributes greatly to a better organization of work with students: all study materials and follow-up exercises or assignments are available in one place; students have unrestricted access to these materials and can work with them at their own pace, they can participate in discussions, group work and online feedback; the teacher can monitor the activities of students and create interactive exercises, which usually have a positive effect on their commitment and motivation, provide direct feedback on the in-semester and final tests by commenting on individual questions.
The combined study method also contributes to the fact that in the event of an emergency, all educational activities, including course assessment, state examinations, and defense of final theses can be flexibly transferred to distance learning through continuous use of Moodle for asynchronous forms of e-learning and in-semester or final assessments in the form of a test; and the use of the MS Teams system to conduct lectures, seminars, and assessment in the form of colloquium exams.
Teachers of all courses of the study programme have completed several trainings focused on working with MS Teams, Moodle, and e-learning, have access to materials to support distance learning, which is developed by the Center for Information Technology of the Comenius University (CIT) and is available at https://uniba.sk/elearning. All employees have access to technical support provided by the Comenius University Information Technology Support Center (CEPIT) and the Center for Information Technology of Comenius University (CIT).
The faculty has a study department that is adequately staffed, professionally and financially secured. The professional support staff in this department, whose competence and number match the needs of the students and teachers of the study programme in relation to the learning objectives and outcomes, provide tutoring, counselling, administrative and other support services, and related activities for the students of this programme. The responsibilities and competences of this unit are regulated in the Faculty's Organisational Regulations.
The professional support personnel for doctoral studies are mainly at the Faculty Office for Science and Doctoral Studies. The staff at this department provide organisational, administrative, advisory, and other services regarding the course, organisation, objectives and outcomes for doctoral students in this study programme. They also assist doctoral students with project administration and advise them in the submission and implementation of their projects. In the field of doctoral students´ international research mobility, this office works closely with the Office for International Relations. In the field of registration of doctoral students' publication activity, which is essential for successful completion of studies, this department cooperates with the relevant responsible staff of the Academic Library (consultation, inclusion in the relevant category of publication activity, communication with the student, registration in the EVIPUB and CREPČ systems, publication activity as part of the evaluation of scientific education). The responsibilities and competences of this unit are regulated in the Faculty's Organisational Regulations.

Another supporting element at the faculty is the Academic Library in the framework of educational, professional, scientific, creative and research activities.
The CIT department also belongs to the supportive departments and its employees take a highly proactive approach to the development of the faculty and its individual components as well as study programmes - their services are directed not only to the faculty staff but also to the students (PC nests, available EDUROAM network, the possibility of using MS Office and its components for online teaching - MS Teams, MS Forms, Moodle, e-learning, etc.
As part of the support, each study programme has designated study advisors (see VP 23/2021 k VSK at UK in BA) and VP 2/2013 Study advisor at PdF UK).
Part of the support is also assumed by the ŠČ AS PdF and their communication and transfer of the important information.
Students with specific needs have three coordinators (SEN group experts) who are available to meet their needs and suggest reasonable adjustments and support services.

Opportunities for students to participate in the study programme on mobilities and internships
Comenius University has the opportunity to send students abroad for study or internships within its partnerships (Utrecht Network, SYLFF, some bilateral agreements) to 63 foreign universities in more than 30 countries in Europe and beyond. Even wider possibilities covering practically the whole world exist within other schemes, especially within the Erasmus+ program and activities covered by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic, implemented through the Slovak Academic Information Agency (SAIA). These are in particular: the Central European Exchange Program for University Studies (CEEPUS), the National Scholarship Program (NSP), the Austria-Slovakia Action, the Visegrad Fund, etc. New mobility opportunities within the wider Erasmus+ program are offered by the ENLIGHT, University Alliance, in which Comenius University in Bratislava established cooperation in the field of education with eight European universities in 2020: the University of Bordeaux, the University of Ghent, the University of Groningen, the University of Göttingen, in Uppsala, the University of Tartu, the National University of Ireland in Galway and the University of the Basque Country. Universities are committed to offer their students various educational formats from short-term present and virtual mobility in the form of summer schools or so-called living laboratories, up to joint study programmes, following up on accredited study programmes in individual countries and recognizing mutually completed courses.
The Erasmus+ coordinator working at the department helps the applicants to compile a precise study plan at a foreign university, which is a prerequisite for the recognition of studies completed abroad at Comenius University. Detailed information on the participation of students in international mobility for individual academic years is provided by the annual reports of the faculty.
Administrative support is provided to students at the faculties by the Department for International Relations, which provides advice on exchange stays and student internships, and the promotion of international mobility.
For Erasmus+ activities, the Program Department E+ (hereinafter PDE+) works at the Rectorate of Comenius University, which manages all activities of the program at Comenius University, which supports partnerships of educational institutions, reform projects aimed at modernizing education and individual mobility of staff and students. PDE+ regularly updates the latest news, rules, and challenges on its website. Mobility implemented within the Erasmus+ programs (KA103, KA107) has the most significant share in student exchanges.
The position of the university and its faculties in relation to mobility programs within the Erasmus+ program at Comenius University is regulated by the Internal Regulation of Comenius University no. 3/2016 Vnútorný predpis UK č. 3/2016 o pôsobnosti UK and its faculties under the European Community's Erasmus+ program+.
Students have the opportunity to participate in Erasmus+ student stays thanks to bilateral agreements with partner foreign universities. In the study programme of Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literature, it is possible to use the offer of mobility on the basis of contracts that the individual departments participating in the doctoral study have long concluded and thanks to which students can travel for a study stay at a foreign university. On average, one to two doctoral students travel for mobility each year.
The most used mobility program is the Erasmus+ study, within which it is possible to complete part of the study in EU countries.
Bilateral agreements with partner foreign universities:
France: Montpellier 2 Universities /, Montpellier
Greece: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki / Faculty of Philosophy, Thessaloniki
Hungary: Eotvos Lorand University / Faculty of Humanities, Budapest
Hungary: Pázmány Péter Catholic University / Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Budapest
Romania: University of Bucharest / Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, Bucharest
Slovenia: University of Maribor / Faculty of Arts, Maribor
Turkey: Istanbul Sabahattim Zaid University / Faculty of Education, Istanbul
Outside the Erasmus+ program, two students travelled abroad through the Austria-Slovakia Action and the scholarship program of the University of Vienna.
Erasmus+ graduate internship, organized by RCU in cooperation with the Workspace Europe consortium, can be used for end-year students and can be used within 12 months after the end of each degree. One graduate used this opportunity. More information at: https://www.workspaceeurope.sk/studenti/clenske-skoly/univerzita-komenskeho-v-bratislave/.
Another possibility is the use of the international interuniversity network within the CEEPUS program CIII-HU-0809-05-1718 FISH (FRENCH, ITALIAN, SPANISH) - ROMANCE LANGUAGES AND CULTURES - STRATEGIES OF COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE TRANSFER IN CENTRAL EUROPE, of which they are members in addition to Masaryk University of Brno and the universities of Graz, Zagreb, Krakow, Ljubljana, Budapest, Cluj, and Novi Sad.
Binding contractual partnerships allow the participation of stakeholders and their representatives in the design, approval, implementation and evaluation of the study programme. The agreements with the partners specify the conditions for the participation of the partner's employees in the implementation of the study programme and the conditions for providing spatial, material and information resources and ensuring the quality of the studies carried out at the partner's premises.

Comenius University has the opportunity to send students abroad for study or internships within its partnerships (Utrecht Network, SYLFF, some bilateral agreements) to 63 foreign universities in more than 30 countries in Europe and beyond. Even wider possibilities covering practically the whole world exist within other schemes, especially within the Erasmus+ program and activities covered by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic, implemented through the Slovak Academic Information Agency (SAIA). These are in particular: the Central European Exchange Program for University Studies (CEEPUS), the National Scholarship Program (NSP), the Austria-Slovakia Action, the Visegrad Fund, etc. New mobility opportunities within the wider Erasmus+ program are offered by the ENLIGHT, University Alliance, in which Comenius University in Bratislava established cooperation in the field of education with eight European universities in 2020: the University of Bordeaux, the University of Ghent, the University of Groningen, the University of Göttingen, in Uppsala, the University of Tartu, the National University of Ireland in Galway and the University of the Basque Country. Universities are committed to offer their students various educational formats from short-term present and virtual mobility in the form of summer schools or so-called living laboratories, up to joint study programmes, following up on accredited study programmes in individual countries and recognizing mutually completed courses.
The Erasmus+ coordinator working at the department helps the applicants to compile a precise study plan at a foreign university, which is a prerequisite for the recognition of studies completed abroad at Comenius University. Detailed information on the participation of students in international mobility for individual academic years is provided by the annual reports of the faculty.
Administrative support is provided to students at the faculties by the Department for International Relations, which provides advice on exchange stays and student internships, and the promotion of international mobility.
For Erasmus+ activities, the Program Department E+ (hereinafter PDE+) works at the Rectorate of Comenius University, which manages all activities of the program at Comenius University, which supports partnerships of educational institutions, reform projects aimed at modernizing education and individual mobility of staff and students. PDE+ regularly updates the latest news, rules, and challenges on its website. Mobility implemented within the Erasmus+ programs (KA103, KA107) has the most significant share in student exchanges.
The position of the university and its faculties in relation to mobility programs within the Erasmus+ program at Comenius University is regulated by the Internal Regulation of Comenius University no. 3/2016 and its faculties under the European Community's Erasmus+ program.
Students have the opportunity to participate in Erasmus+ student stays thanks to bilateral agreements with partner foreign universities. In the study programme of Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literature, it is possible to use the offer of mobility on the basis of contracts that the individual departments participating in the doctoral study have long concluded and thanks to which students can travel for a study stay at a foreign university. On average, one to two doctoral students travel for mobility each year.
The most used mobility program is the Erasmus+ study, within which it is possible to complete part of the study in EU countries.
Bilateral agreements with partner foreign universities:
France: Montpellier 2 Universities /, Montpellier
Greece: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki / Faculty of Philosophy, Thessaloniki
Hungary: Eotvos Lorand University / Faculty of Humanities, Budapest
Hungary: Pázmány Péter Catholic University / Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Budapest
Romania: University of Bucharest / Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, Bucharest
Slovenia: University of Maribor / Faculty of Arts, Maribor
Turkey: Istanbul Sabahattim Zaid University / Faculty of Education, Istanbul
Outside the study mobility Erasmus+ program, Erasmus+ graduate internship, organized by RCU in cooperation with the Workspace Europe consortium, can be used for end-year students and can be used within 12 months after the end of each degree.
Registration for the Erasmus+ study is carried out via the Mobility Online system, the selection of students is transparent according to previously known criteria (weighted study average, CV, motivation letter, level of competence in the language of study and other activities related to the study program). In each phase of preparation and implementation of students' study stay, the faculty coordinator Erasmus + directs the vice-dean for foreign relations at Faculty of Education UK, administrative support is provided by an employee of the Department for Foreign Relations and stay, helps with solving formal issues of applying to a specific foreign university and during the stay with students solves possible changes in subjects and provides them with the necessary consultations.
Another option is to use the international interuniversity network within the CEEPUS CIII-HU-0809-05-1718 FISH program.
Finally, there is an opportunity for students to complete a study stay on the basis of interuniversity agreements of Comenius University, according to the current offer, e. g. semester master's studies at the University of Innsbruck, UTRECHT Network, etc.
Workplaces providing SP students not only send students for mobility, but also receive foreign students through the Erasmus + program.

Procedures applicable for students with special needs
(Internal regulation) VP no. 23/2014 CU Rector´s directive to ensure an accessible academic environment for students with special needs: https://uniba.sk/fileadmin/ruk/legislativa/2014/Vp_2014_23.pdf
Support and services for students with special needs
https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/studium/podpora-a-sluzby-pre-studentov/studenti-so-specifickymi-potrebami/
The sense of autonomy, independence, and self-assessment, as well as reflection on the learning outcomes or personal development of a student with specific needs are reinforced by multiple sources and from multiple levels. Appropriate guidance for students with specific needs is primarily provided by academic advisors, who are selected by the heads of departments from among experienced educators knowledgeable about faculty policies and processes, particularly in the field of education. Typically, academic advisors are assigned to particular levels of study of a particular study program or are academic advisors for particular years of students (first or final year). Each academic advisor has his/her "tutoring" hours in addition to regular consultation hours during the work week. Normally, study advisors are available in their consultation hours, on their office phones, on email, and in the MS Teams environment. The Dean of the Faculty appoints the study advisor on the proposal of the Head of Department.
At the time of enrolment of applicants for studies, meetings with students, including students with specific needs, are obligatorily conducted on the basis of the Dean's Directive, where they are informed about all the details of their studies, about the details of the study program, about the recommended study paths, about the lecturers, about the relevant tutors, about the course of the academic year and where their possibilities, limitations, study procedures, etc. are discussed individually. The meeting also involves the timetable officer of the relevant study program, who answers students' questions related to the registration of courses for the timetable as well as the actual course of the timetable in the semesters.
The academic year study schedule for the respective years of study includes compulsory tutor meetings with students in their final years of study during the first week of the summer semester, together with instruction on the submission of final theses and the conduct of state examinations.
The coordinators for work with students with specific needs, who are appointed by the Dean of the Faculty and who are involved in the preparation and implementation of appropriate adjustments and support services for students with specific needs, as well as in communication with the heads of departments and individual tutors on possible educational strategies and the selection of appropriate educational methods, have a special position in the student support service. More difficult cases of students with specific needs have a designated mentoring educator who guides the student through each step of the learning process and together they manage the effectiveness of the student's learning.
At PdF UK we currently have three coordinators (including the main faculty coordinator) who focus on several types of specific needs of applicants and students - a coordinator for students with visual impairments, a coordinator for students with hearing impairments, a coordinator for students with physical disabilities, illnesses, and impairments, who also deals with students with specific learning disabilities. The coordinators also consult with other professionals and the Student Support Centre on other specific needs as necessary, e. g. autism spectrum disorders, psychiatric disorders, etc.

The Department of Special Education has Assistance Centre for Students with Special Educational Needs. It acts as a model workplace for students with special needs applying to study at the university, and also as a contact point for communication with educators from other higher education institutions working in the field of counselling support for students with special educational needs. The management of the faculty strives to debarrierize the academic environment every year and to implement such support services and appropriate measures (wheelchair accessible entrances to buildings, wheelchair accessible toilets, common areas and classrooms) that lead to the improvement and accessibility of the education of students with specific needs. Further solutions for barrier-free access to other buildings and classrooms for students with disabilities (elevator, access ramps, safety handrails, etc.) are continuously being added.
The University-wide Assistance Centre for Students with Specific Needs, located in the Rector's Office of the University, is accessible to all students with specific needs.
Psychologists are also available at the faculty. Another service offered is the provision of career counselling to students.
Last but not least, another support for all students, including students with specific needs, is provided by the Study Department and individual clerks, who also have in their agenda the communication with students of specifically assigned study programs, divided according to the form of study into full-time and part-time forms (for each form of study a separate clerk). There are also clerks for the Science and Doctoral Studies Department and for the International Department. Other departments of the faculty are also indirectly involved in the quality of studies (internal administration, social department, etc.).
For communication of students' issues in the self-governing bodies of the faculty, there is also the Student Section of the Academic Senate, Faculty of Education, Comenius University.
The sense of autonomy within the study program is strengthened by the choice of study path options within the development of the study plan, the distribution of the students' workload within the study program subjects and the guidance to autonomy in study and in creative activities with the support of tutoring and mentoring by the lecturer; an integral part of the approach is the valorisation and systematisation of the students' self-assessment in the context of the assessment tools. Holistically, the basic construction principle of the people involved in education is the activation of mutual respect and esteem.

Part of the monitoring and evaluation of the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures is the collection of relevant feedback from the concerned parties of the programme determined in accordance with the relevant legislation and the VSK CU.
The means for ongoing monitoring of students' views is through the collection of data through an anonymous survey, which is provided by the faculty after each semester. Occasionally, specifically oriented surveys are also used (e. g. survey on distance learning issues 2020-2021). The results of the surveys are a source of information for long-range planning, instructional modification, syllabus modification, etc.
Feedback from the employers and their participation in the implementation of changes to the study programme contributes to improving the quality of the study programme and ensures regular confrontation of the academic environment with the employer environment and the current requirements of practice. This ensures that the university responds flexibly to changes in the labour market, which has a positive impact on improving the readiness of graduates to enter the labour market.

Evaluation of the SP student survey (to be documented on site)
Within the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures, there are tools that, mainly with the help of student surveys, but also through personal inspections from the management of the department, inspections and follow-up interviews with the teachers, review the educational activities of individual teachers and propose necessary adjustments to the study programme for their continuous improvement and better quality.
The aim of the analysis of the questionnaires and the adoption of measures is to achieve the improvement of the study programme in the light of the needs of employers, to strengthen the integrity of the academic environment by reflecting the demands on the quality of teaching and to implement changes in the teaching process.
Monitoring focused on the specificities of the study programme was launched in the academic year 2021/22, with the perspective of gradual improvement of the whole process (instrument, distribution, processing, evaluation, communication, taking measures). The aim is to ensure an environment open to the implementation of progressive visions, tending not only to maintain the current standards, but to continuously raise them.

Based on feedback from the external environment and suggestions from the concerned parties in the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures, changes are made to the course information lists before the start of the new academic year.
The opinions of practitioners, current, former, or potential employers of graduates of the Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures programme provide a valuable source of opinions and suggestions in terms of evaluating the quality of content and the quality of the outcomes of the educational process.
For the needs of obtaining feedback from graduates, the Institute of Philological Studies, which covers the study programme Didactics of Foreign Languages and Literatures, remains in contact with its graduates, e. g. through meetings at various events, such as professional and scientific conferences, business e-mail or telephone communication (e. g in connection with grant, teaching or publishing activities), and also through informal communication.
Graduates are also regularly invited to meetings, workshops and conferences organized by the Institute of Philological Studies or individual departments, which enable further communication.
https://www.fedu.uniba.sk/sucasti/ustavy/ustav-filologickych-studii/podujatia-ustavu/
Some time after graduation, graduates who are employed in the field are approached to comment on issues related to the potential of the degree program to prepare graduates for the profession.
Their insights, opinions and suggestions are processed, submitted for professional discussion to the members of the Council of the study programme, which then adapts the study programme offer to the needs that the respondents indicate were not sufficiently covered during their studies.
