Povzetek

Uvajaje fakultivnega pouka hrvaščine kot sosednjega jezika je v slovenskih šolah smiselno, zaznati je tudi povečan interes učencev. Pri taki obliki pouka se srečujemo z težavami organizacijske narave, ki jih danes lahko učinkovito premagujemo z modernimi učnimi metodami. V prispevku je prikazan primer, kako za dopolnitev klasičnega pouka uporabiti družbeni  omrežji spletnik in facebook kot orodje za sodelovalno delo na daljavo. Poudarjene so prednosti obeh in njune stične točke, pa tudi razlike. Opisane so metode, ki so bile uporabljene pri delu, težave, ki so se pojavile in odzivi učencev. Pomembno sporočilo prispevka je, da družbena omrežja s svojo fleksibilnostjo prispevajo k popestritvi pouka. Učenci imajo na varnem spletnem mestu pregleden dostop do virov, s komentarji in medsebojnim sodelovanjem pa lahko sooblikujejo pouk. Učitelj ima dober vpogled v napredek posameznika in hitro povratno informacijo o delu. Vnaprej velja opomniti, da je treba posebno pozornost posvečati kulturi komentiranja in oblikovanju kvalitetnega komentarja. To bi učencem olajšalo povezovanje s hrvaškimi naravnimi govorci in sodelovanje v skupnih projektih, ki bi jih oblikovali na družbenih omrežjih v prihodnje.

Abstract

Introducing Croatian language as an optional course in Slovene schools is sensible, considering its status of a neighbouring language and an increasing pupils' interest in it. In order to overcome the barriers of stiff organisational rules that schools must follow, modern teaching methods can be used effectively. This paper offers an example of how two forms of social media, namely blog and facebook, are used as a tool for collaborative distance work. The advantages and weaker points of both are given, as well as the similarities in their usage. The teaching methods that were used are described, with special attention given to the difficulties that arose and the feedback of pupils. An important conclusion is that due to their flexibility social media enrich Croatian language classes. From a safe internet environment pupils can access resources and contribute to the content of lessons by collaborating and communicating. On the other hand the teacher is given a good insight into each pupil's individual progress and prompt feedback on the effectiveness of his work. In the future special attention should be given to improving the culture of commenting and creating a well-written comment. It would also be sensible to upgrade the course by using social media to collaborate with Croatian native speakers with common interests .
