Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyse any potential similarities between the Croatian and German language and present them adopting a contrastive approach with the intent of simplifying the learning process in regards to the German syntactic structure for Croatian German as foreign language students. While consulting articles and books on the theories and methods of foreign language teaching, attention is usually drawn to differences between the mother tongue and the foreign language, especially concerning false friends etc. The same applies to textbooks, workbooks and how teachers behave in class. Thus, it is common practice to deal with the differences between the foreign language and the mother tongue but less with similarities. This is unfortunate considering that this would likely aid in acquiring certain grammatical and syntactic structures of the foreign language. In the author's opinion, similarities are as, if not more, important than differences. Therefore, in this article the existence of similarities between the Croatian and German language will be examined closer with a main focus on the segment of sentence types. Special attention is drawn to subordinate clauses as they play an important role when speaking and/or translating sentences from Croatian to German and vice versa. In order to present and further clarify this matter, subordinate clauses in both the German and Croatian language are defined, clarified and listed to gain an oversight and to present possible similarities between the two. In addition, the method to identify subordinate clauses in a sentence is explained as well as what they express, which conjunctions are being used for each type of subordinate clause in both languages and where the similarities and/or differences between the two languages lie.

Embora a linguagem oral seja fundamental em nossas vidas, pois é por intermédio dela que expressamos nossos sentimentos, pensamentos, desejos, experiências e construímos conhecimento, pouco se fala sobre ela na educação infantil. Nesse sentido, amparados na teoria dos gêneros textuais, na perspectiva do interacionismo sociodiscursivo (ISD) (BRONCKART 2012; SCHNEUWLY/ DOLZ 2013), elaboramos uma sequência didática (SD) com base em dois contos de animais. Por meio dessa proposta intervencionista buscamos aprimorar a ordem do ensino e aprendizagem em um contexto escolar composto por crianças de faixa etária entre 03 e 04 anos de idade, os quais estão inseridos na rede particular de ensino. Para este artigo intentamos descrever e avaliar as configurações da SD elaborada, bem como analisar a presença de capacidades de linguagem. Além disso, apresentaremos resultados parciais das produções orais dos alunos. Ao analisarmos a SD, verificamos a predominância das capacidades de significação (15%) e das capacidades linguístico-discursivas (12,5%). Além disso, constatamos que a SD provê atividades para as produções orais das crianças, tendo em vista que os dois contos escolhidos e as atividades os envolvem emocionalmente, psicologicamente, bem como cognitivamente. Além de recontar a história, os alunos passaram a utilizar o vocabulário e até determinadas expressões em seu cotidiano

The online courses are a very good motivation tool. They surely support all education, foreign language teaching inclusive. As for use of blended learning in foreign language teaching, it is a case of  very progressive and useful way. Learning on our praxis and experience we regard blended learning as a very suitable means of teaching German and we count on its extension into other education fields. The researchers constantly enrich their created courses by using new technical possibilities. And also for this reason they are popular with our students. An anonymous evaluation of the courses takes place usually place in the end of a term. All students say that the teaching by means of supporting courses suits them.    Keywords: Blended learning; Comparison; Foreign students; German language

Practice Of Teaching

CLIL, or ‘Content and Language Integrated Learning’, is a term used to describe the practice of teaching content through a foreign language. It represents an educational approach which can embody a range of different methodologies and has, in recent years, been receiving increased attention in Europe, partially because efforts put into language teaching are not always reflected in the results achieved. This paper begins with a brief overview of developments in the field of foreign language acquisition and how these might relate to the notion of CLIL. It then goes on to describe the design, delivery, and evaluation of a module in German language for intermediate undergraduate students, which incorporates an element of CLIL
