Mojmír Malovecký

Mojmír Malovecký is a Research Fellow and Director of the Centre for Research of Didactics of Languages and Literatures at the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava.

He leads interdisciplinary projects on multilingualism, historical document analysis, and the didacticization of cultural heritage.

• Affiliations: Institute of Philological Studies, Centre for Research of Didactics of Languages and Literatures
• Key Roles: Project team member in multiple VEGA and international grants (e.g., multilingualism in Romance languages, Slovak-Romance historical archives)

Research Interests: Malovecký explores contrastive linguistics, translation theory, and the motivational role of historical documents in language learning. He investigates the ethical dimensions of grammar teaching and the interplay between language acquisition and cultural history. His work often integrates qualitative methods to analyze language structures (e.g., tense/aspect in L2 Italian) and historical narratives (e.g., Slovak translations of Spanish Golden Age plays).

His publications highlight themes like the didactic potential of historical texts, the socio-cultural context of translation, and intercultural communication between Central Europe and Romance-speaking regions. He collaborates internationally with institutions in France, Romania, Italy, and Spain.
