Gender Representation in Croatian EFL Textbooks: Has Anything Changed?

This paper presents research results of investigation into gender representation in Croatian-authored EFL textbooks for primary school s, drawing a comparison between textbooks used in the 1980s and those in use today. Quantitative and qualitative approaches for collecting and interpreting the data are used. The quantitative approach is used for calculating the relative frequency of occurrence of gender-marked linguistic features. Content analysis is used to analyze the particular items in context and help interpret the quantitative results. The aim is to find out similarities and differences in the way these textbooks, used in different periods and during different political systems, deal with gender issues.
