Abstract:
One of the aims of my doctoral dissertation is to find out what competencies are expected from the employees of the administrative offices in the region of Southern Slovakia. In the Slovak Republic Act No. 204/2011 Coll., which amends and supplements Act No. 184/1999 Coll. on the Use of Languages of National Minorities allows that the Hungarian language, as a minority language can be used in municipalities, where at least 20% of the municipal population is made up of this national minority. As partial research of my dissertation I examine the language competencies of public administration employees. I examine the texts created by the employees in Hungarian and Slovak language.

In 2011 the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra (hereinafter referred to as “UKF”) opened a Slovakia-wide completely new study program named Hungarian-Slovak Bilingual Mediator (hereinafter referred to as “MSBM”). This program provides training for professionals in the field of administration at governments as well as companies. It aims to develop competencies in the official communication process in Hungarian, Slovak and English language, basic legal, economic and computer science.

In this paper, the researcher points out how he can incorporate the informations gained in his field of research (collected texts, mayors’ interview responses) into education. It is important to integrate this type of research into educations, as this will enable students to meet examples from the labor market. This can also provide more practice-oriented training for students.
