The SM(e)Jse<\/a> web portal (the acronym SM(e)Jse stands for SLOVEN\u0160\u010cINA KOT MANJ\u0160INSKI JEZIK i.e. Slovene as a minority language)<\/h4>\n

is a repository for existing and new material and information that allows its users to improve their linguistic skills and competency in the Slovene language.<\/p>\n

The portal provides exposure to different varieties of the Slovene language (dialects, literary language, spoken language, jargon, slang, etc.) in a geographical area where the Slovene and the Italian language are in close contact. More precisely, the portal is designed for Slovene speakers living in Italy.<\/p>\n

The goals of the portal are the following:<\/p>\n

promote advanced communication skills in the Slovene language <\/strong>and balanced bilingualism<\/strong>; these can be achieved by developing additional language skills <\/strong>that would enable the speakers of Slovene as a minority language to use Slovene effectively, efficiently and confidently in any given situation, including situations in which they normally speak Italian or a mixture of Italian and Slovene;<\/p>\n

foster a continued use of local language varieties <\/strong>(dialects, spoken language, etc.) within a Slovene continuum in a geographical area and an environment where such usage is acceptable and welcomed, while at the same time building up on the knowledge of other language varieties <\/strong>that are widely used in Slovenia, but are not as common within the Slovene ethnic community in Italy due to the specific status of Slovene as a minority language. These include an “official”, more formal language, as well as its more informal varieties, including spoken language, slang and jargon.<\/p>\n

encourage a long-term active use of the Slovene language <\/strong>in the geographical areas of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region historically inhabited by the Slovene ethnic minority.<\/p>\n

The web portal is aimed at various target groups and offers a variety of contents.<\/p>\n

In 2020, a new section of the SMeJse website entitled Pouk na daljavo – korona \u010das<\/em> (Distance Learning – Corona Times) was prepared, which stores distance learning materials which teachers and lecturers can adapt and use in class. The section consists of the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • lesson plans and other teaching materials intended for the development of language and communication skills among various target groups – from preschool children, pupils, students, to the professional public;<\/li>\n
  • hyperlinks to existing resources, websites, tools, learning materials, and other content created by various professional, scientific, and educational institutions;<\/li>\n
  • announcements and news about events, activities and projects aimed at developing Slovene language skills in various communicative situations;<\/li>\n
  • hyperlinks to books, articles and other materials intended for the professional public;<\/li>\n
  • short popular science articles in the form of blogs from the fields of Italian-Slovene language contact, didactics of minority languages, language planning, language use and development of language skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    A thorough expansion and updating of the portal is planned for 2020 and 2021, made possible by funding from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
