RAZVIJANJE INTERKULTURNE SVESTI U RADU SA STUDENTIMA SRPSKOG JEZIKA KAO STRANOG

Abstract

In addition to developing communicative competence, teaching Serbian as a foreign language aimes at mastering sociolinguistic competence as well. In order to achieve this, the Serbian language learning needs to include teaching of culture through various cultural contents and contexts. At the Centre for Serbian as a Foreign Language at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad culture occupies an important place in teaching, and the language is used as the medium through which it is expressed. Therefore, a qualitative analysis conducted in this paper aims at examining the potential of the topics and texts in the textbooks Let’s learn Serbian 1 and Let’s learn Serbian 2, which allows for moving from pure information about Serbian culture to developing intercultural competence and intercultural awareness, and proposes solutions that will contribute to the achievement of this objective.
