Annotation

One of the key objectives of the current European and national language education is multilingualism, that is the ability to speak at least two foreign languages in addition to the mother tongue. This situation makes new demands on the professional competence of foreign language teachers who implement the concept of multilingualism in educational practice. The proposed project aims to provide a diversified and deeper insight into the theory and practice of multilingualism on the theoretical and empirical level using the example of teaching German as a second foreign language after English in the sociocultural and language environment of Czech schools. Research surveys will be carried out combining qualitative and quantitative methods, theoretical and empirical research in pedagogy and psycholinguistics.
