Sažetak
The present study aims to provide a qualitative analysis of a selection of English textbooks used in Croatian early primary school education from a sociolinguistic point of view, given that this seems to be a perspective less frequently represented in the evaluation of foreign language textbooks. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, the study offers an analysis of nine textbooks belonging to three different series. The results indicate that, despite the significant progress and numerous changes implemented in structuring foreign language textbooks, there is still room for improvement in terms of ethnic inclusivity, relativisation of stereotypes, reduction of factual content and raising awareness of the global dimension of the English language by acknowledging and promoting the somewhat disregarded yet official English language varieties.
