Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Textbook Summary

Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Textbook: With Exercises and Basic Grammar by Ronelle Alexander

With the disintegration of Yugoslavia has come a shifting of linguistic boundaries, chiefly along political lines. Out of this complex situation three official languages have emerged: Croatian in Croatia, Serbian in Serbia, and both these languages plus Bosnian in Bosnia-Herzegovina. "Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Textbook" introduces the student to all three. Dialogues and exercises appear in each language, presented side by side for easy comparison; in addition, Serbian is rendered in both its Latin and its Cyrillic spellings. Teachers may choose a single language to use in the classroom, or they may want to familiarize students with all three. The features of the textbook include: all dialogues, exercises, and homework assignments available in Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian; classroom exercises designed for both small-group and full-class work, allowing for maximum oral participation; reading selections written by Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian authors especially for this book; vocabulary lists for each individual section and full glossaries at the end of the book; a short animated film, on an accompanying DVD, for use with chapter 15; and brief grammar explanations after each dialogue, with cross-reference to more detailed grammar chapters in Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Grammar.

Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Textbook Reviews

This textbook is the most grammatically and culturally accurate of any BCS materials available. It is the best adapted to the diverse needs of my students, who often combine Croatian heritage, Bosnian contacts, and Serbian preoccupations in the same classroom."Wayles Browne, Cornell University Twenty lessons, offering a comprehensive and, dare one say it, unifying picture of the fragmentation which is still underway in the former Yugoslavia. . . . There are masses of examples, all fully glossed and explained, the whole both rigorously serious and pedagogically admirable.Forum for Modern Language Studies The best BCS course materials generally available to English-speaking learners.Danko Sipka, Canadian Slavonic Papers
