Ante Bežen

Abstract
Stjepko Težak is the founder of the scientifi c approach to several disciplines of
Croatian language teaching methodology: grammar, spoken expression and fi lm.
He taught those disciplines for years as part of the Zagreb University study of
Croatian language and literature. His approach is explained in his two capital
works – Theory and Practice of Croatian Language Teaching Methodology and
Film Teaching Methodology. His scientifi c ideas and concepts were implemented
in his textbooks for Croatian for upper primary school, which he published for
thirty years running and which were used by as many generations of students.
All this represents his most important contribution which was interrupted by his
death on 1 August, 2006. Other areas of his interest were the teaching of literature,
extracurricular activities as well as linguistics and the current usage of language.
