Abstract

The article describes innovatively applied participation, simulation and role-playing classroom activities such as those which were chosen as appropriate for achieving the pedagogical goals posed in an introductory undergraduate 101 teaching course. Historical and cultural texts which were easily understandable to the students, but were directly connected to the subject of professional interest, were used as teaching materials in constructing these seminars. Parts of other closely related subjects that are connected to this type of teaching were lightly touched upon. After citing previous results, today's understanding of the achievements, limits and perspectives of this kind of university teaching were summarized.
