Sažetak
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) course books are an essential component of EFL courses containing guidelines related to syllabus, teaching methods and materials so it is critical to design high quality course books and teaching materials. Material designers utilize numerous design components during the process of language curriculum development and have to consider the environment, discover students’ needs, set appropriate learning outcomes, present the content in a logical sequence, assess and evaluate upon instruction. The is research aimed to examine how the four language skills, namely reading, listening, speaking and writing, are distributed in grades 5 to 8 of EFL classes in Croatian primary schools and whether the exercise complexity is in line with students’ development level. Eight current teachers’ books containing all exercises used in the course books as well as additional materials were analyzed from the both quantitative and qualitative perspective. The content analysis has shown that the receptive skills are more focused on in all classes with a gradual decrease in grades 7 and 8 and a simultaneous increase of productive skills exercises, which is appropriately balanced given the students’ development level.
