dc.description.abstract | This paper offers insight into learning Slovak in an e-learning
environment. The need to reach distance-learners of Slovak led to the
implementation of a web-based course on Slovak language and culture in
2008–2010. The pedagogical basis of the course, called Virtual Slovak, is the
socioconstructivist approach to teaching and learning, in which the focus is
on the development of learners’ communicative competence. This teaching
experiment led to a study in which the focus was on learners’ beliefs and
experiences regarding learning Slovak in an e-learning environment. The
results showed that this particular learning environment had a positive impact
on the development of learners’ agency. This impact was demonstrated by an
evident increase in motivation and language learning awareness as well as
in a conscious approach to learning. At the centre of this investigation is the
evaluation of the e-learning environment, especially its appropriateness at
the beginners’ level for the acquisition of a less commonly taught language,
as well as of the teacher’s role in the learning process. Furthermore, the
results revealed that learners’ attitudes towards learning in technologyenhanced
learning environments pose challenges to the instruction of less
commonly taught languages. Even though current digital technology offers
multiple opportunities for the integration of new media modes into learning
activities, the choice of relevant media for the learning context and learners’
competences seems to remain one of the teacher’s main responsibilities. | |
