The exercises were completed by 49 day students and retrainees of English of Gyula Juhász Teacher Training College. Time allotted: cca 20-25 min. The exercises contain the main components of the ”signifier-signified” structure of the text (its vehicle, formation, sense and relatedness.) The aim of the exercises is to help the work of Hungarian teachers/students, teaching and learning foreign language in a socio-cultural context with Hungarian as the mother tongue. The work is – at present – of experimental character.
