COURSES OF SLOVENE AS A SECOND/FOREIGN LANGUAGE
The Center for Slovene as a Second/Foreign Language promotes the understanding of the
Slovene language, literature and culture in an international context. The Center operates under
the auspices of the Department of Slovene Studies at the Faculty of Arts of the University of
Ljubljana. The centre organizes courses for foreigners whose fi rst language is not Slovene and
who have different requirements, interests and goals. Programmes offer a varied selection of
language courses, differing in duration (from 20 to 560 hours), intensity and goals. The most
popular courses are those that combine language learning with studying modern culture and
society in Slovenia. These are the summer, winter and 1-year schools of the Slovene Language,
which are of particular interest to participants from abroad. For those living in Slovenia, there
are courses on offer throughout the year, from regular, which develop all the language skills
equally, to more specialized, such as refresher, conversation and business Slovene courses,
as well as preparation for profi ciency examinations.
The Slovene language programme pays special attention, in accordance with the other
programmes organized by the Centre, to regularly developing the professional qualifi cations
of teachers of Slovene as a second/foreign language, as well as to carrying out research
assignments in this fi eld.
The scholarships are mostly for lecturer positions in Slovenian and Russian languages.
