Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the native Chakavian idiom in extracurricular and
project activities in the school curricula of primary schools on the islands of Brač,
Hvar, Korčula, Šolta and Vis. The analysis focuses on extracurricular and project
activities with components of the native Chakavian idiom. The first part of the research considers the number of extracurricular and project activities regarding the
criteria of collective presence and individual presence of the native Chakavian idiom
on each of the five islands and in each of the seventeen considered schools,
i.e. their school curricula. Also, the paper observes the presence of the mentioned
activities in class and subject teaching. The second part of the research includes
the analysis of the methodological formation of found extracurricular and project
activities. This research reveals how Croatian island schools use the potential of
connecting students with their native idiom to illuminate creative and encouraging
ways of formatting the curricular process that enables the cultural identification of
students, whereby the school community becomes the driving force in the process
of encouraging students to use their native idiom. School should be the leading
factor in the preservation of linguistic heritage as the most influential medium of
Croatian cultural heritage.
