Abstract

The course is designed to enhance students' knowledge of the theory of teaching foreign languages in various contexts and skills of putting the obtained knowledge into practice.

Due attention is paid to how to diversify students' teaching equipment depending on the educational context, including learners' proficiency level, learner's needs and tools of assessment of learners' achievements.
