Full
text EN

Abstract

The article covers the concept of deep practice (deliberate practice, error-focused practice) which is increasingly widely used in teaching different disciplines. The author pays particular attention to its main characteristics, rules and the possibilities of its application in the sphere of learning foreign languages. Supported by current research the article shows that errors and difficulties in trying to master a second language are not only unavoidable, but even necessary for further better performance.
