In my thesis, I will analyze the graded reader Martin Krpan in comparison with the original text Martin Krpan z Vrha. In the theoretical part, I will focus on the concept of extensive reading, outlining its main characteristics and significance. Then, I'll present the process of developing graded readers and their defining features, followed by a detailed description of the graded readers prepared at the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language.
In the empirical part of the thesis, I will conduct a syntactic and textual analysis of the first chapter of the graded reader Martin Krpan in comparison with the original. I will examine and compare the structural elements of both texts, vocabulary, sentence structure, syntactic constituents, as well as coherence and cohesion.
