This paper deals with the model of mother-tongue learning and teaching in Slovenia. Although Slovenia itself is a young state (12 years), the Slovene language has played an important role in Slovene national identity throughout the centuries Slovenes lived under foreign dominations. As a result, Slovene as mother tongue became a sacred icon as reflected in mother-tongue education. Under the influence of new didactical research in the 1980s, the conditions became favourable for modernising the curriculum. Since 1998 new curricula have been implemented in which communicative approaches have become prominent in language, grammar and literature curricula and teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
