Developing specific competences using the poetry of Robert Frost [Articol]

Abstract

Modern education lays stress on competence formation which has been lately abandoned by education in Moldova. The Curriculum in Foreign Language Teaching of Moldova identified a number of specific competences, which tend to educate an active and creative personality, flexible in the changing circumstances of life. They can be developed at the lesson of English, using poetry (in this case the poetry of R. Frost) which supplies a lot of ground not only for language teaching but for the formation of such competences as: communicative, civic, pragmatic, axiological, etc. A number of lesson projects are offered here to illustrate how various forms of specific competences can be developed at the lesson of English.
