Croatian: The Croatian Language in Education in Austria, 2nd Edition. Regional Dossier Series
Tyran, Katharina, Comp.
Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning
This regional dossier aims to provide a concise, description and basic statistics about minority language education in a specific region of Europe. The glottonym Croatian in Austria covers two linguistic realities, namely the recognised minority language of Burgenland Croats and the Croatian standard language as a migrant language of the recent past, which is often subsumed as B/C/S together with Bosnian and Serbian. This dossier focuses on the first issue but also briefly mentions connections to the latter, where needed. Aspects that are addressed include features of the education system, recent educational policies, main actors, legal arrangements and support structures, as well as quantitative aspects such as the number of schools, teachers, and pupils, and financial investments. Because of this fixed structure, the dossiers in the series are easy to compare. Every Regional Dossier begins with an introduction about the region in question, followed by six chapters that each deal with a specific level of the education system (e.g. primary education). Chapters 8 and 9 cover the main lines of research into education of the minority language under discussion, and the prospects for the minority language in general and in education in particular, respectively. Chapter 10 provides a summary of statistics. Lists of (legal) references and useful addresses regarding the minority language are given at the end of the dossier. [This Regional Dossier was originally compiled by Gerhard Baumgartner. This second version covers academic data for the 2019-2020 school year.]
