Sažetak
Communication competence as a goal of teaching foreign languages cannot be achieved without the inclusion of authentic texts in which in addition to standard varieties non-standard varieties (medialect, sociolect, functiolect, and regiolect) are also represented. Since teachers are creators of teaching, and as the textbook is the basic teaching tool, the aim of this research was to explore the attitudes of teachers about the elements that are crucial for the choice of textbooks as well as their attitudes about the authentic texts and language varieties. The results of the research indicate that non-standard foreign language varieties are insufficiently represented in Croatian primary school textbooks as well as that negative attitudes of teachers towards authentic texts and non-standard language varieties prevail. The focus of teachers on the standard language and their negative attitudes towards other language varieties are certainly linked to the lack of teachers' familiarity with the language varieties themselves.
