Summary/Abstract: The guiding idea of the hereby paper constitute considerations on the scope of competence– both preliminary and professional – which should display teachers of not typicallanguages. The entirety of divagating was based on the experience of teaching the Copticlanguage to European students. The emphasis was on such elements of professionalknowledge which – due to the specifi city of the cultural circle of Egyptian Christians –are gaining, in this case, a higher importance than in relation to teachers of congressionallanguages (e.g. religious-historical aspect of teacher’s general knowledge). The point ofdeparture for theoretical considerations constituted the didactic experience of the authoras well as the results of the questionnaire research performed among students of UPJPII,who were learning the Coptic language in years 2009–2014.
