Ines Jelovčić is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Foreign Languages within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Zagreb, holding this position since 2008 with reelections in 2015 and 2020. She teaches English for Special Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) across multiple university faculties including Teacher Education, Croatian Studies, Science, and Agriculture.
Her educational background features graduation in 1989 from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences as a professor of English and Italian language and literature, followed by a Master of Arts in philology (anglistics) with thesis "Semantic Analysis of Americanisms in the Croatian Language". She enrolled in Postgraduate Doctoral Studies of Croatian Culture in 2014.
Dr. Jelovčić's research centers on ESP/EAP pedagogy, with emphases on academic writing techniques, discourse markers, presentation skills, and psychological factors in language acquisition. Her work particularly examines Croatian university students' challenges including motivation, anxiety, and integrative/instrumental learning drivers, contributing significantly to applied linguistics within Balkan higher education contexts.
Publication trends reveal consistent output from 2008-2018, with recent works (2017-2018) focusing on writing pedagogy through mind mapping, paragraph structuring, and motivation analysis. Earlier research (2012-2013) established foundations in academic listening, presentation techniques, and Bologna Process implementation, demonstrating evolving expertise from language mechanics to cognitive-affective learner dimensions.
She served as Head of the Centre for Foreign Languages (1999-2001, 2004-2007) and Deputy Head (2013-2015), while actively participating in the ReFLAME project (Reforming Foreign Languages in Academia in Montenegro). As a member of the Community for Foreign Languages at HGK, she conducts court interpreter exams and reviews academic textbooks for professional language instruction.
