Abstract

The article summarizes the main findings of the international survey in which we focussed on the usage of the practice enterprise as a way to improve one's knowledge of a foreign language and communication skills. The aim of the survey was to compare the experience in different countries concerning the language training, study materials etc. Interviewing several coordinators of the network of practice enterprises was our method of best practice sharing. Our survey has shown that in the Czech Republic, like in other countries, there are, however, some areas where more effort should be made. In order to reach the full potential of the practice enterprise as a means to improve pupils' level of foreign languages, we especially recommend creation of uniform materials and investments in the language instruction in general.
