Sažetak
This paper elaborates on attitudes of the students of Križevci College of Agriculture regarding the importance of language for special purposes for mobility and employability. The first part of the paper provides theoretical background for research and defines language for specific purposes in the context of mobility and employability. Central part of the paper describes research methods and analysis of research carried out on 132 full time students of Professional study programme of agriculture. Most students are of the opinion that foreign language is an important course subject and that such knowledge and skills will be useful in their future occupation. They also believe that foreign language knowledge became increasingly important with Croatian membership in the EU and that their future employers will favour those job candidates with better foreign language skills. Foreign languages should be an integral part of education at all levels, including the level of higher education. EU membership puts us in the circle of linguistic and cultural diversity and knowledge of foreign languages will become increasingly important.
