AN OVERVIEW OF PHONETIC-PHONOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN TEACHING SERBIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the issue of phonetic-phonological units in the teaching of Serbian as a foreign language from an analytical-synthetic perspective. Given the limited number of studies that examine the role, significance, and function of phonetics, phonology, and prosody in Serbian language instruction for non-native speakers, the research aims to provide a clearer understanding of key topics addressed to date, with the goal of enhancing teaching practices. The study employs descriptive and theoretical analysis methods, utilizing content analysis as a technique. The research material comprises works cited in three bibliographies on the methodology of teaching Serbian as a foreign language (Krajišnik 1992, Nikolić 2020, Novaković 2023). The corpus analysis reveals a need for more experimental research in future studies, which could yield valuable insights for theoretical discussions and suggest innovative proposals and models for use in classroom instruction.
