Models of improvement of Croatian language teaching for Erasmus+ foreign exchange students at Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek

In this paper, analysed for the first time are the models of improvement of Croatian language acquisition for foreigners, incoming Erasmus+ students at Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. Croatian language classes they attend are held in English (which is mainly not their mother tongue, but a language of communication). Two shortcomings were used as a starting point – the nonexistence of a curriculum, and the fact that no modern computer technologies are used in Croatian language teaching for foreigners. Considering these facts, the paper proposes ways of improvement of Croatian language teaching for foreigners in view of applying network technologies, i.e. the existing or new computer resources in classes, which represents a new model of Croatian language teaching for foreigners at the University of Osijek. Apart from that, creating a curriculum for Croatian language teaching for foreigners is suggested, with clearly set learning outcomes that would, along with grammar and spelling competencies, also imply competencies of Croatian culture and history knowledge. The aim of this paper is to indicate that this approach to Croatian language teaching for foreigners, which implies clearly set learning outcomes and the use of modern computer technologies, can improve Croatian language teaching within the Erasmus+ programme at the University of Osijek.
