| Note: | TITLE: The Croatian language curriculum was changed after the Republic of Croatia achieved independence and almost nothing was omitted from the previous "collective core" which included the literature of the other Yugoslav peoples. One of the consequences of this is the insufficient acquaintance with Slovene literature among young people in the Croatian part of the Istrian peninsula. This premise has been proved by a survey conducted amongst the students of Croatian Language at the University of Juraj Dobrila in Pula and through analysis of the Slovene literature corpus in the City Libraries of both Pula and Umag. In order to make Slovene literature more comprehensible and appreciated, changes in the Croatian language secondary and university level curriculum are suggested. / KEYWORDS: Slovene literature, literary reception, Croatia, Istrian peninsula, curriculum, libraries, intercultural theory, lack of knowledge of Slovene literature, content changes |
