A loud No to promotion of high LSP standards in the new curriculum for agricultural engineers in Croatia
For decades, there has been a latent problem regarding the LSP (Language for Specific Purposes) importance and its recognition at Higher Education Institutions in the Republic of Croatia. Although the EU countries show strong commitment to improving the efficiency of language teaching, foreign language teaching in many countries remains inadequate. It is the EU Commission’s plan to develop frameworks for digital and entrepreneurial skills, in order to detect type of language skills in demand on the labour market to make sure that teaching, learning and assessment take account of these needs and focus on appropriate outcomes. Despite numerous professional and scientific papers written by LSP teachers, in which the stress is on the importance of modern student centred teaching and learning, some higher institutions in the Republic of Croatia tend to ignore LSP in general and, as is current situation at the educational institution Faculty of Agriculture, try to diminish its role substantially. A new teaching curriculum will be introduced with a drastically cut down number of classes: twosemester obligatory courses (75 hours per semester) in the first academic year will be reduced to a one-semester course (50 hours per semester). In the third or fourth semester, LSP will be elective. In this paper, we want to emphasize the importance of LSP with regard to recent research in the field and the context of the EU’s language policy and related academic institutions.
