Summary/Abstract: It could appear that people use the same language in school as they do everywhere else. Nonetheless, school language is so specific that it is often considered to be a foreign language. In fact, students begin to learn particular facts together with ways to talk about them as soon as they enter school. The sole purpose of this book is to examine this process which is typically called school-language socialization. The book, based on empirical research of classes of Czech language at lower secondary schools, describes how students learn to use language in a specific culturally determined way in conformity with the customary teaching activities of a given school subject.
