Sažetak
This paper examines the extent to which principles of vocabulary teaching are implemented in English coursebooks used in Croatian schools. For this purpose, an analysis of vocabulary exercises in two EFL coursebooks used in the seventh grade of Croatian primary schools was carried out. The coursebooks in question were Breka and Mardešić's Way to Go 4 Plus and Hutchinson's Project Third Edition, while the examined elements included: the quality of new vocabulary presentation, revision and elaboration, as well as the quality of fluency development with known vocabulary and the development of vocabulary learning strategies. The analysis revealed that vocabulary treatment in both coursebooks is not in line with vocabulary teaching theory when it comes to the number of repetitions of new vocabulary, the number of elaboration exercises and the development of vocabulary strategies. The results of the analysis indicate ways in which teachers need to supplement coursebook material in order to facilitate successful vocabulary learning.
