Module title:
Croatian Language and Culture
Module overview:
The objective of this module is to enable students to:
- use correct terminology and grammar in simple everyday conversations
- outline the characteristics of the Croatian culture and identify some basic geographical features and historical events.
The Croatian Language and Culture module helps students learn the elementary level of the Croatian language and offers an excellent insight into Croatian culture. Students will learn a well-balanced selection of Croatian terminology, key conversational phrases and grammatical structures. The course will also add a practical value in terms of enabling students to use the language in social activities when interacting with locals during their stay in Croatia.
An additional aim of the module is to strengthen students’ cultural competence about Croatia as a modern country, as well as a country with long history that is located at the intersection of three different European cultural circles. The special emphasis in the module is put on facts about famous Croatians and Croatian history, geography, cuisine, customs and the Croatian way of life.
