Czech Language Instruction for Students with a Different Mother Tongue in Czechia

The aim of our study is to examine the instruction of the Czech language for students with a dif-ferent mother tongue (DMT students). We provide a brief overview of how language instruction is implemented in Czechia and, based on a research probe into teaching practices, identify the specific aspects and critical challenges. Through a case study, we focus on illustrating suitable methodological approaches for Czech language classes for DMT students, using practical examples to underscore the critical need for enhanced support within communication-oriented language instruction.
