Development of Programming Capabilities Inspired by Foreign Language Teaching

Abstract

Education of subjects related with computer science is from the perspective of other for centuries taught subjects, still in its infancy. Let us consider, for example, a teaching method aimed at developing algorithmic thinking of students. Even nowadays this area is still the subject of extensive discussions and teachers are looking for different ways how to access it to students. As the ability to create algorithms is the cornerstone to understand syntax and semantics of programming languages, it is obvious that a deeper look into learning a language can provide stimulating and interesting ideas for teaching algorithms.
