| Opomba: | ABSTRACT: This paper provides an overview of the position of Slovene poetry in the contemporary Croatian school system. The first part analyses the curriculum for the subject Croatian language in primary and secondary schools in the Republic of Croatia. The second part presents the results of empirical research with students of integrated undergraduate and postgraduate teacher education and postgraduate studies of Croatian language and literature at the Juraj Dobrila University in Pula on their experiences in contact with Slovene literature (with a special emphasis on Slovene poetry). By shedding light on the position of Slovene poetry as a part of neighbouring literature, preconditions are created for the adaptation of school curricula, especially in those parts of Croatia that are close to the border with Slovenia, which is the basis for intercultural (as well as domestic) literary education. / KEY WORDS: Slovene literature, Slovene poetry, Croatian school system, mother tongue teaching, teaching Croatian, Croatia |
