Approaches to teaching cases in Slovene as a second and foreign language

Abstract

Veliko učencem slovenščine kot drugega in tujega jezika, katerih materinščina sodi med analitične jezike, je v izhodišču nejasen koncept sklonov in sklanjatev. Prav zato jim je treba oba pojma približati in pri tem uporabiti učni pristop, ki jim bo omogočil lažje usvajanje sklonov in sklanjatev ter vseh posebnosti, ki se pri tem pojavljajo. V prispevku je na podlagi teoretičnih izhodišč in učne prakse izpostavljen eden izmed možnih pristopov k poučevanju sklonov v slovenščini.

Many students of Slovene as a second and foreign language, whose mother tongue is an analytical language, have a vague concept of cases and declensions. This is why it is necessary to familiarise them with both concepts by using a teaching approach that will enable them to learn cases and declensions along with all their peculiarities more easily. On the basis of theoretical grounds and teaching practice, the article highlights one possible approach to teaching cases in Slovene.
