Home preparation of anglophone children for school

school of children with a different cultural background in the
Czech Republic. This specifically concerns the anglophone
minority group that reside in the country. According to Kachru’s
model, the Czech Republic belongs to the Expanding Circle,
which means that the English language is only present as a
foreign language. In the methodological part of this study, we
focus on children with English as their mother tongue who attend
Czech primary schools in the Czech Republic. These children need
to cope not only with the different culture background of their
parents, but also with a different language of education than
their mother tongue. The parents in the families under
examination try to make the conditions for school preparation
easier for the children, but they encounter completely different
problems with respect to their monocultural peers. In
exceptional cases, they are even forced to change primary
school.
