Key competence development is the aim of the teaching and learning process which is to be achieved by proving student’s with particular specific competence within individual subjects. The standards od requirements included in the modern school curriculum have, unfortunately, been set with regard to knowledge and skills within the scope of individual subjects but not with regard to general competence.

Nowadays, when it is important to see and the picture is the dominant, many children do not need any contact with books. For them, reading is somethig boring, unnecessary and cannot compete with computer games excessive or TV programmes. Students do not like reading. Their imagination and the knowledge of vocabulary are impoverished by excessive TV viewing and playing computer games. Becouse of that, students cannot express their own thoughts and opinions.
