The aim of this course is to build on the knowledge and skills gained in previous foreign language didactic courses and integrate them mostly in the context of lesson planning and syllabus design. All topics and issues will be discussed in relation to the specific needs of young learners and will reflect the current Czech educational policy and its ongoing major revisions. Special attention will be paid to the role of key competences and cross-curricular subjects and to the possible methods of their implementation in everyday classroom practice.
