Stereotypes of foreigners in textbooks of Croatian as second and foreign language at the beginner’s level

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses stereotypes of foreigners that can be found in textbooks of Croatian as a second and foreign language at the beginners’ level. Since the characters in textbooks are often foreigners learning Croatian, their nationality and culture and its relationship with Croatian culture is in focus, especially so for the characters that represent the Croatian diaspora. On one hand, textbooks written for homogenous groups of students are looked into, and on the other, those written for heterogenous groups. Many differences are encountered between the two types of textbooks with conclusions that they are subjects to change through time and that constructions of stereotypes cannot be overlooked, but taken into consideration in the making of textbooks so as to minimize the possibility of them being derogatory
