‘Determinants of Language Education Quality’

Quality contributes to overall value of education. Universities' concern for the quality of education proves that students achieve best results which are a notable effect of their teachers' effort and their competence. The quality of language teaching is especially substantial in the process of education. During the conference we will try to define the notion, determining factors, and measurement methods of language education, especially at a university level. The conference participants  will focus on the role of assessment of the quality in education, as well as on ways that could support  teachers in their quest to raise the standard of teaching.

The conference is addressed  to foreign language teachers, lecturers, researchers, and students interested in current problems in teaching.  The conference will be an open forum of ideas, opinions, visions and experience.
