Abstract
As a part of European Union, The Republic of Croatia has taken numerous tasks in the field of elementary education. Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports published in January 2013 an official document concerning Croatian L2 speakers: Pravilnik o provođenju pripremne i dopunske nastave za učenike koji ne znaju ili nedostatno znaju hrvatski jezik i za provođenje nastave materinskoga jezika i kulture država podrijetla učenika. This document provides guideliness for professional organization and implementation classes for students who do not speak Croatian as their mother tongue. In this paper issues several questions concerning the application of these guideliness are addressed: the availability of Croatian classes for foreign students in primary and secondary educational system; teaching methods applicable in accordance with the Regulations; qualified and trained personnel for implementation of this model of teaching; the existing legislation relating to the integration of non-native speakers of Croatian language in the education system. The second part of the paper first explains micro-concepts that should be used in Croatian as L2 classes and offers some activities that could be useful for teachers.
