For this reason, Slovak Language for Foreign Students was introduced as a compulsory subject in the 1st year of bachelor’s study. The purpose of the paper was to emphasize the teaching of Slovak as a foreign language and thus help to overcome the problems of foreign students in studying professional subjects. The aim is to provide them with suitable tailor-made study material within the blended form of teaching. Slovak language teachers at the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities used mixed innovative methods and forms of study and tried to increase the language and communication skills of students. The paper compares the results of e-exercises and the final e-test of 140 foreign students from different study programmes in the first year of their bachelor study in the winter semester 2021. Slovak language teachers were able to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses based on the results of experimental research. Elimination of the most frequent mistakes will help students to increase the level of technical Slovak language, which they can apply during the study of professional subjects and in future practice in Slovak companies. The university-wide Moodle platform was used for blended learning in teaching Slovak as a foreign language at the Faculty.  \nKeywords: Slovak as a foreign language; e-exercises; e-test; Moodle, terminology; manufacturing technologies.  \nIntroduction  \nThe Slovak language is the official language of the Slovak Republic. In the Indo-European family of languages, Slovak belongs to the Western branch of Slavic languages, together with Polish, Czech, as well as Lower and Upper Sorbian. Slovak became one of the official languages of the European Union on 1 May 2004. Slovak thus opened the gates to the world more significantly. This addresses a range of foreign applicants, especially those who want it or need to adopt it for personal, study or work reasons. The mobility of people, mainly students, is currently increasing. Interest in the Slovak language is thus growing due to the possibility of obtaining job opportunities in Slovakia or acquiring knowledge by studying at Slovak universities. I state that changes in every society are accompanied by changes in education, new conceptsand approaches to teaching individual subjects, including Slovak as a foreign language. Differentiated requirements for teaching Slovak as a foreign language testify to this.  \nEvery year, more and more students come to Slovakia to study mainly from Ukraine on the basis of an international agreement between the Slovak Republic and Ukraine. The teaching of Slovak as a foreign language resulted from the practical needs of these foreign students, with their interest in studying in Slovakia, but also with a low active knowledge of Slovak. The level of knowledge of the Slovak language by Ukrainian students is therefore different. Universities must respond appropriately to the new situation by improving teaching. Also, The Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies (FMT) in Prešov, Technical University (TU) in Košice notes the growing interest in studying from Ukrainian students. A study with a technical focus on study programmes at individual faculties shows that information and communication technologies (ICT) are very helpful in the teaching process at present. Similarly, creating a Slovak as a foreign language course is easier than ever, both technically and in terms of content, as we live in the age of ICT. However, the problem is to sometimes find a suitable textbook for foreign students of the Technical Universi","cbCaisTFYnWRjbJB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisTFYnWRjbJB","pdf",510987,"English","# Introduction\n## Context for Slovak language teaching\n# Literature review\n## Current research and teaching materials\n## E-learning and blended learning background","[{\"question\":\"Why was Slovak language for foreign students introduced as a compulsory subject?\",\"answer\":\"Foreign student enrollment increased at the Faculty, creating study difficulties in professional subjects.
