A Contrastive Approach to Teaching Closely Related Languages (on the Example of the Croatian and Serbian Languages)
Artur Bagdasarov
Abstract
The article is devoted to the peculiarities of teaching closely related languages on the basis
of lexical differences between the Croatian and Serbian literary languages. Some aspects
of the special methodology of teaching a foreign language are considered, in particular, the
development of skills of lexical switching from one language to another. Particular attention
is paid to comparing the differences between the Croatian language and the Serbian language.
The article contains methodological information, practical advice and recommendations for
teachers on organizing and compiling a working lesson. The article presents a sample lesson,
which consists of various comparative lexical exercises, correct answers, and descriptions
of teaching methods. The exercises are aimed at developing and improving the skills and
abilities of oral and written translation. Similar exercises and teaching methods can be used
in teaching other closely related languages and their dialects.
