"A teacher’s guide to teaching Hungarian"

KRE BTK & L’Harmattan Kiadó, 2018–2019.

Abstract

This is a review of a new book series called Magyarnyelv-tanári segédkönyvek ("A teacher’s guide to teaching Hungarian"), published both as regular books and in online pdf format, by Károli Gáspár University (KRE) and L’Harmattan Press. The aim of the series is twofold. On the one hand, the publications target the students in the University’s teacher training program for Hungarian as a foreign language: they provide the teacher candidates with various course materials (readings, ideas for teaching, tasks, topics and questions for discussion, self-check tests) to assist their learning. On the other hand, the series serves the higher purpose of gathering, presenting and making openly accessible the specifics of the field in an up-to-date form. At present, the book series comprises 14 volumes, published over a two-year period 2018–2019. The paper reviews these 14 volumes – with the hope that new volumes will follow soon.
