Sažetak
The raising number of students who are educated in Croatian - the official and majority language of the Republic of Croatia, but not their mother tongue, have caused changes in the educational policy at macro-level, i.e. the change of legislation and curriculum. Students, non-native speakers of Croatian got possibility to attend Croatian as L2 classes and the L1 maintenance classes, which should foster their multilingualism. However, the aim to develop multilingualism of Croatian L2 speakers is less visible at the educational micro-level (i.e. school subject, class or school). This paper presents an early stage of a project that aims at the development of methodology for assessment and evaluation of Croatian language competence of various types of non-native Croatian speakers (immigrants, speakers of minority languages as L1, etc.). Special emphasis is on the development of instruments and materials that can help teachers to foster students’ multilingualism from the early school age.
