glottodidactic research;
- K-W04: has a thorough knowledge of the latest trends in the study of
glottodidactic issues, follows the development of methodology in this area;
- K-W04: has in-depth knowledge of complex issues in the area of
glottodidactic research;

collection in the qualitative paradigm;
In terms of skills, the student/student:

Assessment criteria
Successful completion of the course includes both in stationary and remote
mode:
- systematic attendance and active participation in class (if in remote mode
using Google Meet and GoogleClassroom)
- development of a research project together with data collection tools.
- on-going monitoring of your understanding of the topics covered through
input', discussions, pair and small group work;
- collaborative learning - preparing thematic speeches in pairs using
multimedia tools.
Assessment criteria:
- The student correctly and independently defines the subject of glottodidactic research and can identify the characteristics that distinguish it from purely linguistic or general pedagogical research.
- The student uses terminology specific to glottodidactic research fluently and without major errors, correctly selecting concepts to describe the processes of language acquisition and teaching.
- The student can characterize leading contemporary trends in glottodidactics and indicate at least two directions of methodological evolution that have taken place in this field in recent years.
- The student efficiently reconstructs and explains complex glottodidactic issues (e.g., the issue of learner autonomy, multilingualism, or classroom interaction), recognizing their multifaceted nature.
- The student correctly explains the key principles of conducting academic scientific discourse and demonstrates a good understanding of fundamental methodological concepts (such as reliability, validity, or triangulation).
- The student correctly distinguishes, compares, and describes the main research paradigms (positivist/quantitative, constructivist/qualitative, critical), indicating their core philosophical assumptions.
- The student can independently and correctly select and adapt a complex theoretical concept (e.g., the intercultural competence model or the task-based approach) to analyze a specific glottodidactic problem.
- The student conducts the research process at a satisfactory level: correctly defines the problem, formulates logical hypotheses or research questions, appropriately selects methods, and coherently processes and presents the obtained results in their written work/presentations.
- The student can independently prepare a methodologically and substantively correct glottodidactic research project, in which the research objectives logically derive from the cited literature on the subject.
- The student is a constructive team member: completes their share of tasks on time, supports others, maintains a good atmosphere within the subgroup, and actively seeks compromise in situations of differing opinions.
