VUK S. KARADŽIĆ’S SIGNPOST TO TEACHING SERBIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGAUGE

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the correspondence of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić with the aim of creating a clear picture of the basic characteristics of teaching Serbian as a foreign language. The research used the method of theoretical analysis with the technique of content analysis. The material for the research consisted of thirteen books of Vuk Karadžić’s correspondence published as part of the Collected Works of the Publishing Company “Prosveta”, as well as the book Vuk-Ana: Correspondence of Golub Dobrašinović. The analysis of the data showed that already at the time of the Serbian literary language codification, there were hints of teaching modern Serbian as a foreign language and (at least) one of its subdisciplines – teaching Serbian as a heritage language. Their implementation was related to repeating and memorizing translated sentences from a foreign language, talking with native speakers, directly correcting mistakes and using Vuk’s three capital publications – Gramatika, Pjesnarica and Riječnik. Members of Vuk’s family (his wife, sons and daughters), his friends and distinguished contemporaries such as Jernej Kopitar, Jacob Grimm, Samuel Bohumil Bankte, Peter I. Price, Nikolai Ivanovich Nadezhdin, Izmail I. Sreznjevski appeared as students, while teachers of Serbian (as a foreign language) were his friends – Lukijan Mušicki, Đuro Daničić, Dimitrije Vladisavljević, maids and teachers from Serbia, who he himself hired to teach his children Serbian.
