The research aims to identify the key components of the mentioned system and to characterize its essential features.

The research outcomes make it possible to introduce a scientific and didactic paradigm for the system under study, identify its key approaches and principles, core tools with regard to pedagogical, didactic, psychological, linguistic, ICT tools, etc.
