В настоящее время объектом активного изучения лингводидактики стало

continuous assessment: is assessment by the teacher and 
possibly by the learner of class performances, pieces of work and 
projects throughout the course. The final grade thus reflects the 
whole course/year/semester. 
continuum criterion-referencing approach: is an approach in 
which an individual ability is referenced to a defined continuum of 
all relevant degrees of ability in the area in question. 
controlled language: The language of a classroom activity, 
task, text or exercise which has been modified in order to reduce the 
linguistic complexity of the activity, to highlight specific features of 
language, or to focus on grammatical accuracy.

cooperative learning also collaborative learning: an approach 
to teaching and learning in which classrooms are organized so that 
students work together in small co-operative teams. It is used to 
increase students’ learning since (a) it is less threatening for many 
students, (b) it increases the amount of student participation in the 
classroom, (c) it reduces the need for competitiveness, and (d) it 
reduces the teacher’s dominance in the classroom. Thus, it is 
teaching with highly structured cooperative processes, based on the 
teacher's strategies and students' needs. The students' mutual social 
relations play a crucial role, and the teacher facilitates their 
cooperation in a strategic way. Furthermore, students' different ways 
of learning and energy levels are to be considered. 
core curriculum: A curriculum organized around subject 
matter that is considered essential for all students in a program. 
English is part of the core curriculum in most schools around the 
world. 
correction: brings modification into the teaching process on 
the base of data of the passed control.
