Pedagogical Terminology in French and Serbian Languages

Summary/Abstract: In a world of increased mobility of a university of staff and students within the frame of European projects, it is clear that the knowledge of basic pedagogical and educational terminology has become indispensable. As a result of numerous reforms of educational systems and new ways of international cooperation, some of the terms have been replaced by new ones. For this reason, we think that pedagogical terminology in French and Serbian languages deserves a thorough analysis and comparison. With regard to that, the paper aims at presenting similarities and, in particular, differences between the two languages, bearing in mind their significance for education and the professional training of future teachers. Even some commonly used terms can be misleading, which is intolerable in meta-language (terms such as éducation, formation, instruction, école, classe, didactique, concours). In addition, there are terms with no equivalent in either of the languages analysed, since they reflect cultural differences between the two educational traditions (formateur or apprenant in French, associate professor or teacher’s college in Serbian etc). In the end, some basic sigla and acronyms necessary for anyone interested in the world of education and pedagogy are as presented (ESPE, PE, CP, CE1, CE2, CM1, CM2, M1, M2, LMD etc). In the conclusion, we recommend that glossary featuring pedagogical and educational terms be designed, encompassing the educational systems utilising French and Serbian languages.
