Sociocultural Aspect of Teaching Slovene as a Foreign Language at Polish Universities

Tina Jugović

Abstract


The article focuses on the role of sociocultural competence in teaching Slovene as a foreign language at selected Polish universities. According to the results of the online questionnaire, given to students of Slovene language in Lodz, Katowice and Warsaw, the desire to broaden personal knowledge about Slovenia, its culture and people is one of the main factors behind the decision to study Slovene or attend a Slovene language course at universities. At the same time the results of the questionnaire showed that students wish for the sociocultural aspect to be increasingly emphasised. The relationship between Slovenes and Poles exists for centuries though interpersonal intertwining, but according to the questionnaire the mutual understanding of the two nations is superficial. The author concludes that sensitivity for various sociocultural factors and their pertaining intercultural differences should be fostered.
