Abstract
In this paper the theoretical framework of conducting microteaching in the preparation of future teachers, the training of teachers who teach in schools, is analysed. We present the skills teachers develop in the framework of microteaching, together with the areas of application of the microteaching model. The term “horizontal skills” is analysed as it is determined in the current socio-economic circumstances and the basic of these skills are presented, as described in European Union official documents. The paper concludes with a presentation of indicative activities through which it is possible to develop horizontal skills in the framework of conducting microteaching.
