The Centre for Slovene as a Second/Foreign Language seeks to extend understanding of the Slovene language, literature and culture on an international scale. It also encourages international research in Slovene language and literature, organises professional and scientific conferences and develops the infrastructure for attaining, examining and certifying proficiency in Slovene as a second/foreign language. The Centre operates under the auspices of the Department of Slovene Languages and Literature, University of Ljubljana. Its activities are arranged in five specific programmes: courses of Slovene as a second/foreign language, seminars on Slovene language, literature and culture, an Examination Centre, and the annual symposium Obdobja ('Periods').
