Contrastive analysis of Slovene and English false friends : pedagogical aspect [Elektronski vir] = Kontrastivna analiza slovenskih in angleških lažnih prijateljev : pedagoški pristop : diplomsko delo
Herček, Špela
When one is learning a foreign language, one may encounter problems which are usually caused by dissimilarities between the speakerʼs mother tongue and the language one wants to learn. However, ...similarities may be problematic as well.False friends are pairs of words in two languages which look or sound similar but have completely or partly different meanings. Three types of falsefriends are differentiated in this thesis paper: total, partial, and zero-equivalent false friends. These problematic pairs of words often cause problems to speakers of foreign languages. The focus of this thesis paper is on different ways of teaching false friends in grammar schools. The reason whythe focus is on grammar schools is that differences among the knowledge of students are not as pronounced as in primary schools and other secondary schools. In the thesis it is explained how false friendship is to be dealt with during regular lessons, lessons devoted to false friends and how to explain it in a student friendly way. Examples are given throughout the thesis. In the thesis it is also discussed which type of the three mentioned false friends is most problematic to students and why. Next, solutions that a teacher can try in order to prevent students from making mistakes based on false friendship are proposed. After that, exercises that can be used to practise false friends are provided. Different types of entries for notes on false friends are suggested. Finally, a summary and recommendations are given to teachers of English who would like to include false friends in their lessons and reach the goal of teaching students how to be careful with suspicious vocabulary items and where to look for information when one is in doubt.
