From the Editor

Dear E-mentor readers,

In 2017 we published the first ever international E-mentor issue entirely in English. It was very well received and therefore we decided to continue such efforts. So, I have great pleasure to present the new international issue of our journal - number 2(74)/2018.

As previously we succeeded in collecting the articles dealing with both the theory and practice of contemporary education it its lifelong span. In two papers the characteristics and the set of necessary skills of new generations are discussed. Two other papers refer to the skills required at the workplace - digital competences and the language skills; the latter described from LSP (Language for Special Purposes) perspective. The section oriented on competencies includes also a very interesting presentation of the model of individual teaching style in the context of contemporary trends in education, especially the proliferation of learning by ICT. The authors define several groups of competencies that, combined together, constitute the image of modern university teacher. The other three papers are more oriented towards the examples from practice. One of them presents a very interesting concept of flipped-hybrid classroom as a didactic technique for teaching foreign language, while the others refer to the international projects that would not be possible without the use of information and communication technologies. We also have a brief description of the impressions from OLC Innovate 2018 conference, held this April in Nashville, Tennessee prepared from the perspective of its virtual participant.

We do hope that the attempts to broaden access to the valuable content of our journal shall be well-received by our readers as well as the potential contributors. Two other English issues are to be published before the end of 2018 and we intend to continue the project also in the coming years. Researchers and teachers - especially those representing higher education- interested in publishing with E-mentor may refer to the brief guide for authors published on the one before the last page of the journal. More detailed instructions and the submission form can be found online at: http://www.e-mentor.edu.pl/eng/page/8/Info_for_Authors.
