SERBIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDY PROGRAMS AT THE FACULTIES OF PHILOSOPHY AND PHILOLOGY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the analysis of current study programs of Serbian as a foreign language at the state faculties of philology and philosophy in the Republic of Serbia to create a clearer picture of the strengths and weaknesses that characterize them. We combined a theoretical analysis with the content analysis technique, comparative and descriptive methods. We conducted a detailed qualitative research of accreditation material available on the official websites of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, Faculty of Philology in Belgrade, Faculty of Philology and Arts in Kragujevac and Faculty of Philosophy in Niš. We found similarities between them and some differences caused by the policies of individual faculties.
