Abstract
This paper is based on the survey conducted among lecturers in Croatian
as a second and a foreign language in universities all around the world.
The goal of this survey was to examine quality of the existing textbooks for
Croatian as a second and foreign language for beginners and to learn lec-
turers’ opinion on textbooks based on students’ reaction that use these books
for learning Croatian. Textbooks used by lecturers are divided into two cat-
egories. In the first category are textbooks written in Croatian, including
the most used textbook, and in the second one are textbooks written in some
other language. The analysis can only be based on the most used textbook be-
cause of the representative sample. Lecturers were asked about the structure
of a textbook, used methodology, representation of certain language elements
and achieved criteria in textbooks, according to their teaching experience of
Croatian as a second and a foreign language. A special part is provided
for lecturers’ comments, where they analyze the quality of textbooks. This
paper leads to conclusions about practical needs for textbooks for teaching
Croatian as a second and a foreign language.
