Sažetak
Teaching Croatian as a second language has become more present in the last twenty years in the Republic of Croatia and consequently, teaching methodology has also developed, several textbooks and the curriculum of Croatian as a second language has been created as well as descriptions of the levels of language proficiency in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2005). Developing competences for teaching Croatian as a second language has become necessary in educating future Croatian teachers as well, even more so if we consider the fact that a growing number of people seeking asylum and in need of learning the language, have entered the Republic of Croatia since the migration crisis in 2015. Families have been reunited and settled in the Republic of Croatia and their children have started education in Croatian schools. On the other hand, the coronavirus pandemic has also caused a number of people to look for safer places to live and return from abroad, which in turn led to the increase of the number of students in classes in which Croatian is not the first and dominant language. Teachers are the ones helping children, not only to acquire knowledge and skills, but also to develop their social and emotional competences in order to be able to take their part in society and so it is necessary that future teachers, in the course of their education, acquire knowledge that will enable them to successfully teach students whose first language is not Croatian. The number of Ukrainian refugees entering the Republic of Croatia today, raises the awareness of the importance of teachers' competences in teaching Croatian as a second language. Considering all of the above, it is the goal of this research to examine teachers' attitudes and their self-evaluation of their professional capacity to work with foreign students. It is expected that they do not feel ready and capable to perform this task since they did not acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in the course of their education.
