Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses mother tongue curricula and teaching in secondary vocational schools in the Republic of Croatia in the context of developing language and professional student competencies. Although fourteen education sectors have been defined in the planning and programming of professional-theoretical and practical educational content recognising significantly different communication needs of future experts in different education sectors, mother tongue curricula and teaching in these schools differ only slightly. The paper features field research conducted among Croatian language teachers (N = 92) working in secondary vocational schools. Based on the conducted analysis, this paper offers specific guidelines for possible improvements of framework programs and teaching in secondary vocational schools.
