Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes two German as a Foreign Language Textbooks approved for fifth grade in the Canton of Sarajevo: the local textbook “Maglajlija (2009): Njemački jezik za 6. razred devetogodišnje osnovne škole” and the German textbook “Bovermann, Georgiakaki, and Zschärlich (2017): Paul, Lisa & Co (Starter): Deutsch für Kinder: Kurs- und Arbeitsbuch”. It examines whether these textbooks comply with curricular guidelines, how they promote language skills, and what didactic principles they reflect. The analysis reveals that both textbooks largely meet the curricular requirements but vary in their didactic conception. The local textbook focuses on writing, while the German textbook shows a more balanced approach to language skills and a stronger integration of interactive and playful elements.
