DEVELOPMENT OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS LETTER RECOGNITION IN THE BILINGUAL REGION

Diplomsko delo z naslovom Razvijanje fonološkega zavedanja in prepoznavanje črk dvojezičnem področju v prvem, teoretičnem delu, predstavi tri sporazumevalne dejavnosti (poslušanje, branje in pisanje), metode in postopke opismenjevanja ter jezikovno organizacijo pouka in modele opismenjevanja v dvojezični osnovni šoli. Empirični del temelji na raziskavi, katere namen je bil ugotoviti, ali so učenci, ki se hkrati opismenjujejo v obeh jezikih, zmožni v obeh jezikih enakovredno razvijati fonološko zavedanje in poznavanje črk. V empiričnem delu so torej predstavljeni rezultati te raziskave, ki dokazujejo, da lahko pri uravnoteženo dvojezičnih otrocih primerljivo dobro razvijamo zmožnost fonološkega zavedanja in poznavanja črk v obeh jezikih. Raziskava potrjuje hipotezo, da je fonološko zavedanje do določene mere univerzalna zmožnost in se zaradi tega pri hkratnem opismenjevanju v obeh jezikih vzajemno podpira. Napredek učencev sem ugotavljala z deskriptivno in eksperimentalno metodo in sicer dvakrat, v razmiku osmih mesecev (oktober-maj). Pri tem je bil za slovenščino uporabljen del standardirizanega testa Ocenjevalna shema bralnih zmožnosti učencev – OSBZ-1, za madžarščino pa prilagoditev tega testa. Z instrumentarijem sem preverjala poznavanje črk in sposobnost fonološkega zavedanja.In the first part of my diploma thesis titled Development of Phonological Awareness and Letter Recognition in the Bilingual Region I introduced three communication skills (listening, reading and writing), methods and procedures of literacy teaching, language organisation of the lesson and some models of literacy teaching in bilingual primary schools. The empirical part is based on a research, aiming to find out, if pupils, gaining dual language literacy, are capable of developing phonological awareness and letter recognition in both languages equally. The empirical part provides the results of this research, which prove, that we can develop good phonological awareness and letter recognition in both languages with bilingual pupils. The research proves the hypothesis, that phonological awareness is, to some extent, a universal ability and with pupils, gaining dual language literacy, this ability is reciprocally supported. Pupils’ progress was established through the descriptive and experimental method twice, in a time gap of eight months (October – May). For the Slovene language I used the standardized Evaluation Scheme reading achievement test – OSBZ-1, for the Hungarian language I used a modified version of the test. I tested the letter recognition and the ability of phonological awareness with the instrumentation
