Abstract
The paper studies the influence of the native dialect on the development of
linguistic skills in younger school-age children in Međimurje. Given the established
dominance of standard language in teaching fourth-grade elementary school
students (Turza-Bogdan, 2016), the aim was to compare the use of the native dialect
in the curricular and extracurricular communication and to determine whether
there are greater discrepancies in the results obtained by second- and fourth-grade
students of primary schools. The results of the research confirmed that the examined
students predominantly used the standard language in class communication, while
communication in the native dialect by individual students was most often achieved
in speech and was more pronounced in rural areas. Also, it has been confirmed that
fourth graders show better knowledge and use of the native dialect and they use it more
often in class communication than second-graders.
