Biljana Babić serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Serbian Language and Linguistics at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad, a position she attained in 2019 after progressive academic appointments since 2007. Her teaching portfolio spans core Serbian language domains including phonology, morphology, and specialized instruction in Serbian as a foreign language pedagogy, reflecting deep integration of theoretical linguistics with practical language education. Her academic foundation includes rigorous training within the same institution: Doctorate (2016): Focus on intralinguistic errors in beginner-level Serbian language acquisition Master's Degree (2010): Development of morphological-syntactic verb dictionaries for foreign learners Diploma (2000): Serbian Language and Literature specialization Babić's research program systematically investigates challenges in Serbian language acquisition by non-native speakers, with concentrated analysis on morphological errors, case usage complications, and verb prefixation patterns. Her work bridges theoretical linguistic frameworks with classroom applications, particularly through lexicographic innovations like minimal verb dictionaries that address specific learner difficulties at beginner proficiency levels. Publication analysis from 2007-2018 reveals consistent thematic evolution: beginning with diagnostic grammar testing (2007), progressing to detailed error taxonomy in present tense formation (2014) and accusative case usage (2018), while concurrently developing pedagogical resources like the "Let's Learn Serbian" dictionary series (2011). This trajectory demonstrates methodological maturation from observational studies to comprehensive error analysis integrated with practical teaching tools. No formal scientific awards are documented in the available records, though her scholarship appears recognized through publication in established venues like Contributions to Language Studies and peer-reviewed conference proceedings at the Faculty of Philosophy. Professional activities emphasize curriculum development and resource creation rather than grant-funded projects or graduate supervision. Her contributions center on refining Serbian language pedagogy through empirical analysis of learner challenges, particularly evident in the methodological applications course she teaches and the development of standardized testing materials for A1/A2 proficiency levels.
