Sažetak
Main goal of teaching foreign languages for specific purposes on tertiary level is to develop communicative competence of students in foreign language within the specific field and to qualify them for implementation of those competences in their future profession. To achieve that end, apart from a competent teacher and modern teaching materials, integration of language content and content subjects is a necessary precondition. That implies a good cooperation between foreign language teachers and content subject teachers to achieve a better quality in foreign language courses concerning specific scientific field taught at the faculty. The main goal of this paper is, by using a method of questionnaire, to explore the level of cooperation between foreign language teachers and content subject teachers in the field of law at the Law Faculty of Osijek and the Law Faculty of Zagreb and to improve a co-relation between content subjects and foreign language courses at these faculties. To that end, the answers by content subject teachers and their suggestions as to topics in foreign language needed by Croatian law students in new conditions of Croatia’s accession to the EU will serve as a foundation for development of foreign language courses that are more responsive to requirements of legal profession in new circumstances of the EU law implementation and the new configuration of the labour market. Results of the questionnaires conducted at the Faculty of Law of Osijek and the Faculty of Law of Zagreb will be compared to indicate similarities and differences in opinions of the professors teaching legal subjects at the two faculties and to serve as a reliable basis in establishing better co-relation between content subjects and foreign language curricula at Croatian law faculties.
