Pre-primary English language learning and teacher education in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Learning English as a second language has become part of pre-primary curricula in a considerable number of both public and private institutions in the Czech Republic. The starting age of language learning has decreased. This bottom-up initiative, however, has not been followed by top-down actions. This chapter explores the current situation in the Czech Republic - the need for qualified teachers of English, on the one hand, and a lack of relevant English language teacher education programmes, on the other. Consequently, the chapter elaborates on the issue of who is qualified to teach English at pre-primary level in the Czech Republic, and examines whether and how educational institutions respond to the early start trend.
