The aim of the project was to present the acquired knowledge from the education of Slovak as a second language, to innovate the current teaching methods so that teachers in the majority environment outside the Slovak Republic remove language barriers with optimal tools for learning foreign languages, taking into account the specifics of the language in question. The partnership has been successful in creating innovative teaching and testing tools that will improve the quality of Slovak language teaching in the specific conditions in partner countries, while accepting the particularities of the majority language. In the case of teaching Slovak in a student environment where the majority language is another genetically close Slavic language, the impact of negative interference needs to be particularly emphasised. The starting point for the development of a more effective model of Slovak language teaching was an initial comparative analysis of Slovak and the majority language, but especially the practical experience of educators in partner countries with problematic linguistic and intercultural phenomena that make it challenging to teach Slovak. The stated aims have been achieved and are summarized in 4 main intellectual results.
