Abstract

V originále

This paper analyses the implementation of ICT enhanced complex, flexible and individualised language learning in the university environment with the aim to share its effectiveness. Masaryk University Language Centre (CJV) engages in teaching and research activities closely related to the development and use of ICT and multimedia in general. A wide range of synchronous and asynchronous communication tools (Facebook, chat, video conferencing and email, forum, blog, YouTube) combined with individual and collaborative activities within an LMS (Moodle, IS MU) and outside offers new opportunities to the improvement of foreign language learning. The presentation of three types of CJV courses analyses individual tools and focuses on various approaches aiming at deeper involvement of university students in real academic or expert situations as well as their intensive engagement in an environment where they can test and improve their language, expert and socio-cultural skills.
