Abstract
The well-known educational paradigm of student-centered teaching has become a value modern Croatian language teaching increasingly pays special attention to. This kind of teaching supports the student's participation in various tasks and activities and that in its goals promotes a participatory way of planning, then proposing, concluding, collecting data, searching for answers, and encourages trust, helping, discovering and deep empathic understanding. Such teaching implies changed roles of teachers and students, and therefore a change of perspective from: What am I going to teach tomorrow? towards: What will my students learn, achieve, accomplish tomorrow? This change can be observed in several areas: (1) the student's contribution in lesson planning, (2) the function of teaching content, (3) the role of the teacher in relation to the role of the student, and (4) the purpose and processes of evaluation. The aim of this paper is, by applying these categories, to investigate whether teachers of the Croatian language plan their lesson from the perspective of thinking about what the students will learn, achieve and accomplish. The identification of these categories and their analysis and interpretation was achieved on the basis of the research material consisting of 60 collected written preparations for the Croatian language and communication lessons.
