Nyelvi örökségünk tanításáról: lehetőségek és tapasztalatok

Abstract

Incorporating regional culture into the teaching of Hungarian offers diverse opportunities for language education and personal development. The Living in our Language module deals with teaching our linguistic heritage. Based on the observation of the permanence and change of language, we move from etymology to vocabulary building, from the recognition of the beauty of dialects to the community-building power of regional vernaculars. We learn about the thinking and life of our ancestors by exploring the layers of meaning in everyday life, food, human qualities and dramatic games. We will experience the playfulness and diversity of the vernacular by recalling ′folk and village ridiculers′ and language games. Understanding through experience, learning together, developing creativity and a sense of belonging are key elements in the teaching of linguistic heritage. The tasks are based on a variety of learning organisation methods, developing students′ text-comprehension, vocabulary competence, creativity, cooperation, value orientation, positive attitudes and tolerance.
