Artikkelen tar opp fremmedspråkenes formidling av interkulturell kompetanse, og hvordan denne er knyttet til skolens samlede danningsprosjekt. Artikkel-forfatterne diskuterer hvordan migrantnarrativer kan brukes som inngangs-portal til utviklingen av interkulturell kompetanse, og hvordan disse narrativ-ene, gjennom å presentere det pedagogen Gerhard Neuner kaller universelle sosiokulturelle erfaringer, er egnet som materiale for perspektivforflytning og evnen til å se “den andre”, som er sentrale begrep innenfor det interkulturelle undervisningsparadigmet. Tidligere forskning har vist at fremmedspråkenes læremidler i begrenset grad benytter seg av det potensialet som ligger i arbeidet med interkulturell kompetanse knyttet til språkområdene. Artikkelforfatterne har derfor foretatt analyser av læreverktekster i fransk, spansk og italiensk, valgt ut på grunnlag av forståelsen av migrantnarrativer som særlig egnet for å jobbe med denne typen kompetanse. De undersøkte tekstene representerer ulike sider ved migrant¬narrativer (estetisk, kulturelt og historisk), men krever en grad av kontekstuali¬sering for å kunne fungere som døråpnere for interkulturell kompetanse.Nøkkelord: interkulturell kompetanse, universelle sosiokulturelle erfaringer, fremmedspråkundervisning, migrantnarrativerAbstractThis article discusses the mediation of intercultural competence in foreign language teaching, and how it is connected to the school’s overall education project (‘danning’, ‘bildung’). We argue that migrant narratives are useful as a tool for developing intercultural competence, and examine how these narratives, by presenting what Gerhard Neuner terms universal sociocultural experiences, may contribute to new and revised perspectives, as well as a deeper under¬standing of ‘the other’, which are key terms in the intercultural pedagogy para¬digm.Previous research has shown that textbooks only to a limited extent apply the potential for working with intercultural competence in foreign language teaching. The article presents visual and textual analyses of texts presenting migrant narratives in textbooks of French, Italian and Spanish, that are currently used in the Norwegian education system. The analyzed texts demon-strate different aspects of migrant narratives (aesthetic, cultural and historical), but require contextualization in order to contribute to the development of inter¬cultural competence.Keywords: intercultural competence, universal sociocultural experiences, foreign language teaching, migrant narratives

This paper discusses two topics which are very popular nowadays among the academics dealing with foreign language teaching, namely: intercultural competence and pragmatic error. The author notes the fact that those two notions appear separately, because the starting points for discussing them are usually different fields of science. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that on one hand the two notions need to be treated uniformly, and on the other, that the pragmatic error should be included in error classifications which are references for both the authors of handbooks as well as people educating future teachers. For that purpose, the author defines intercultural competence, presents various approaches to error and its classification in teaching, and then explains what pragmatic error is and describes its linguistic characteristics.

The work is devoted to determining the purpose of professional foreign language teaching to students of an agrarian university in the conditions of content and language integrated learning. Based on the study of the history of the issue of determining the purpose of foreign language teaching at different stages, it was concluded that the main result of teaching should be the development of students’ professional intercultural foreign language communicative competence. This type of competence in work is understood as the ability and willingness of agrarian university students to use a foreign language as a mean of professional communication with representatives of different countries and cultures, taking into account the specifics of intercultural interaction, as well as a mean of cognition and professional development. Structurally, intercultural professional foreign language communicative competence includes three blocks: professional, intercultural, and foreign language communicative. Foreign language communicative competence represents the ability and willingness of students to use a foreign language as a mean of communication, cognition and development. It will reflect the professional orientation of teaching and include linguistic, speech, sociocultural, strategic and educational-cognitive components. Intercultural competence represents the ability and willingness to interact with representatives of different countries and cultures, aimed at establishing professional intercultural contacts, resolving conflict situations in the field of intercultural communication, and achieving the goals of intercultural interaction. All these three blocks of professional intercultural foreign language communicative competence exist separately only for descriptive purposes and are in close interconnection with each other. We also consider professional foreign language communicative competence as a level category consisting of value-motivational, cognitive, communicative and reflective components. Each of the components is described in detail.

The Relationship

The present paper deals with the relationship between contrastive linguistics on the one hand and foreign language teaching on the other hand, more precisely, with the influence exerted by the first on the latter. It goes without saying that a teacher who teaches his mother tongue is expected to teach it as completely and correctly as possible. Yet the complete and correct teaching of any language depends on the teacher’s complete and correct knowledge of the given language and, comes to that, his awareness of this knowledge. It could be shown and proven on various examples that this aim can only be reached by the way of analyzing an other / a foreign language and comparing it with the language / the mother tongue to be teached, that, as much as paradoxical this may sound, self-understanding quite often needs the understanding of the other.

The paper presents results of a study on the interest of students of non-philological faculties (of universities in Serbia) in contents from foreign cultures and how high importance students attach to learning about the target culture in foreign language teaching and learning at non-philological faculties. The goal of modern foreign language teaching at non-philological faculties, in addition to the development of communicative competence in the profession, is also to develop pluricultural competence. In order to test the chances of attaining this goal, it is necessary to perform an analysis of the legislative framework in which teaching foreign languages for special purposes takes place, an analysis of learning aims and the possibility of developing cross-cultural sensitization. An analysis of the needs for and interests in the contents of the target culture must be precededed by an analysis of the specificities of intercultural learning and intercultural competence. Based on these results, it is possible to establish the correlation between the elements of the culture already present in the existing teaching material and the interests and needs of the target group which these materials are intended for.The data thus obtained will serve as a basis for defining the guidelines for selecting contents of the target culture, which, on one hand, will be based on methodological and didactical principles of interculturally oriented foreign language teaching, and on the other hand, will reflect the real needs and interests of the students from a number of non-philological faculties.

Language Teaching And Learning

Multilingualism at the European or worldwide level is related to the need for changing the perception of foreign language teaching and learning. As a result, the concept of language awareness has been given a high priority. It implies the reflection on the language elements and their functions – language comparisons on the one hand, and the interdisciplinary sensitivisation for languages with the inclusion of language curiosity, etc. on the other. At the same time, the concept of language awareness plays a significant role in the field of tertiary language didactics, such as teaching German after English. With that in mind, this article presents in-depth reflections about the consciousness of pronunciation aspects and their multidimensional character.
