Language Training of Members of Dispositional Groups

This contribution focuses on the way of providing foreign language training of professional soldiers and members of the Police Force and Fire and Rescue Services in the Slovak Republic (from the point of view of disposition groups they are members of military and paramilitary diposition groups), in particular with regard to their lifelong education in this field and the fulfillment of linguistic requirements in accordance with the tasks arising from the international obligations of the Slovak Republic within the framework of membership in NATO and the EU. We analyse the existing systems of language training for military professionals, members of the Police Force and Fire and Rescue Services, identify their possible shortcomings and present challenges that need to be addressed within the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic.
