Description Contemporary approach to foreign language education is based on the communicative approach and the communicative competence as its goal. The question is, to what extent the goals are reflected in foreign language classes. The aim of the presented empirical study was to explore the quantity of opportunities which pupils have to develop language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) in Czech lower-secondary English classes. The research employs a video-based methodology. A research instrument – a system of categories based on the concept of language skills was developed. The research findings showed that pupils had more opportunities to use receptive skills (reading, listening) than productive skills (speaking, writing). Receptive skills were more often than productive skills used in separation.
