Višejezičnost u studijskim programima fakulteta nefilološke orijentacije univerziteta u Beogradu

Abstract

Dobro poznavanje i uspešno korišćenje stranih jezika sastavni je deo kompetencija svakog savremenog stručnjaka i naučnog radnika. Cilj rada je utvrđivanje stanja učenja stranih jezika na Univerzitetu u Beogradu u školskoj 2015/2016. godini poređenjem sa istraživanjem sprovedenim tokom 2006. godine, kao i ispitivanje stavova nastavnika stručnih predmeta o višejezičnosti i ulozi stranih jezika u univerzitetskom kurikulumu. U tu svrhu primenjena je dokumentaciona analiza podataka dobijenih sa veb stranica fakulteta, kao i kratak informativni upitnik sa pitanjima zatvorenog tipa. Rezultati pokazuju pogoršanje položaja stranih jezika u kurikulumima ispitivanih fakulteta, kao i deklarativno opredeljenje nastavnika za višejezičnost koja nema uporište u realnom stanju. Kako bi se trenutna situacija poboljšala, neophodna je revizija jezičke politike u pogledu nastave stranih jezika na fakultetima nefilološke orijentacije.

Good command and efficient usage of foreign languages are indispensable competencies of each member of today's global academic and professional community. The aim of the paper was twofold: firstly, to provide an overview of the current state of language teaching at tertiary level at the University of Belgrade and compare it to the findings of an earlier research conducted ten years ago, in 2006; and, secondly, to examine the views of teachers of specialized courses on language matters at their faculties (what languages are or should be taught, what should be the role of foreign languages within university curricula etc.). With this in mind and for the purpose of getting a better insight into the issue, documentation analysis was conducted. In addition, a small-scale informative questionnaire intended for subject-matter teachers was construed. The results obtained show the deterioration of the foreign language position and status in the official curricula of the faculties, as well as subject teachers' declaratory support of multilingualism which seems to have no solid ground in the actual state of foreign language learning at university level. In order to improve the current situation, it seems necessary to revise completely the university foreign languages policy at the non-philological faculties of the University of Belgrade.
