Abstract:

The paper deals with an implementation of modern ICT (information and communication technologies) programs in online literature teaching in the Slovak Republic at the secondary level of education. The choice of teaching methods and techniques affects the motivation of the students, their desire to acquire new knowledge, and finally the way of achieving objectives and goals of the lesson. It is important to choose such a range of teaching methods and techniques, which will not only positively affect the activity of students and their motivation, but also support the development of their cognitive skills. Research methods of the study can be characterised as direct structured observation and a questionnaire. The emphasis is put on Kahoot! quizzes and escape rooms in E-Learning as they belong to the newest trends in language teaching. They require teamwork, communication, and skills such as critical thinking, attention to detail, and rational thinking to apply a wide range of knowledge under time pressure. The paper focuses also on possible connections between the length of practice of the respondents and the level of implementation of modern ICT programs in online literature teaching in the Slovak Republic.
