1. The Digital Competence of Foreign Language Teachers at HEI in Serbia : A Study based on the European framework DigCompEduDanijela Ljubojević, Nikoleta Gutvajn, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: In recent years, considerable literature has grown up around the theme of digital education at higher education institutions. The issue has grown in importance in light of Covid-19 pandemic, which made teachers face rapidly changing demands. However, the question remains what this abrupt change has brought when it comes to the development of digital competences of teachers. This study therefore set out to determine the level of digital competence of foreign language teachers working at HEI in Serbia, as well as to (self-) assess their strengths and identify areas of improvement. In order to carry out this study, a questionnaire of 33 questions was implemented based on the DigCompEdu framework. The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) lists 22 competences organised in six areas: Professional engagement, Digital resources, Teaching and learning, Assessment, Empowering learners, Facilitating Learners’ Digital Competence. The findings of this study show that the actual level of digital competences of teachers is A2+/B1. They also outline concrete and feasible national, institutional and interinstitutional policy recommendations to enhance the development of digital competences in higher education.

7. Pre-service teachers' attitude towards learning and teaching English to young learnersSilva Bratož, 2015, original scientific article Abstract: Considerable attention has recently been invested into researching the influence of affective variables, such as attitudes and motivation on foreign language learning and teaching. The topic is timely and relevant especially at the time when English is being introduced as an obligatory subject in the first cycle of primary school in Slovenia. Two key issues are addressed: attitudes towards learning and teaching English as a foreign language and the profile of the young learners' language teacher. The article presents the results of a small-scale research conducted with a group of primary education students on their attitudes towards learning and teaching English. The results suggest that trainee teachers have moderately positive attitudes towards learning English but diverse attitudes towards teaching a foreign language.
