Introduction
The Webclassroom consists of a language project for learners to acquire language skills and knowledge of Slovenian culture through reading and writing. It is the first interactive language project for Slovenian in Victoria, and Australia, was part of the curriculum for secondary students of Slovenian at the Victorian School of Languages, Education Department of Victoria. In March 2001, six topics were published online, the start of an expanding series of thematic topics, to learn Slovenian language through the study of contemporary Slovenia and its culture. The topics are in clusters within four themes based on informative web sites; Country (Dežela), Society (Družba), Arts and Culture (Umetnost in kultura), Leisure and Recreation (Prosti čas in rekreacija).
Country
In Central Europe, Slovenia is a meeting of the Julian Alps, the Pannonian plain and the Adriatic Sea. Its four geographic regions accounts for a great biodiversity. Nearly half the country is the original Kras - Karst (its name has been drawn for all karst areas in the world), the source of research of speleology, with 8,000 caves registered.
The main centre for the complex multidisciplinary science of karstology is the Karst Research Institute. Forests and parklands cover 58% of all territory, protecting many flora and fauna, such as primeval forests of Kočevje, where live - the bear, lynx, wolf and deer. The panoramic virtual guide to the Slovenian landscape, Landmarks of Slovenia, by Boštjan Burger, is the focus of the topic, Images of Slovenia.
