Še pomnite, tovarišice? Kakšna je podoba Slovenije in Slovencev v učbenikih za učenje slovenščine kot TJ?

Del vsebine poučevanja nekega jezika predstavljata tudi kultura in civilizacija jezikovne skupnosti, ki ta jezik uporablja kot svoj J1. Kako se ta vsebina realizira v procesu poučevanja, je delno mogoče opazovati skozi učna gradiva, ki se uporabljajo pri poučevanju tega jezika. Poučevanje slovenščine kot neprvega jezika je svoj razcvet doživelo v devetdesetih letih 20. stoletja, s tem pa tudi pospešeno izdajanje učbenikov in drugih učnih pripomočkov. Ob koncu desetletja so se pojavile tudi že prve analize didaktičnih gradiv, ki so se ukvarjale tudi z reprezentacijami slovenske kulture v njih. V prispevku nas zanima, kakšna je podoba Slovenije, Slovencev in njihove kulture v sodobnih gradivih za poučevanje slovenščine kot neprvega jezika.

This article explores how Slovenian culture is presented in textbooks for teaching Slovenian as a foreign language. In the past, Slovenian textbooks followed a more traditional approach, focusing primarily on presenting facts and high culture, but later shifted to a communicative approach that emphasizes everyday situations in which knowledge of the cultural background is necessary to avoid misunderstandings. The intercultural approach, which promotes awareness of the target and native cultures as well as the cultures of all others, came later and is still underdeveloped in Slovenian language teaching. Two new textbooks, Slovenščina 1+ and Mozaik slovenščine, are aimed at specific groups of learners and incorporate cultural topics through practical, learner-centered tasks. These materials encourage discussion, exchange of opinions, and cultural comparison, which is more in line with intercultural principles. However, challenges remain, such as limited practical guidance for teachers and a lack of diversity among authors, which can affect the presentation of culture.
