The diploma thesis explores how English is taught in families and communities who have chosen to educate their children at home. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part provides an overview of the essential aspects of teaching and learning a foreign language. It also discusses the advantages and possible drawbacks of homeschooling, its history in the USA and the Czech Republic, and the legal requirements regarding language learning. The empirical part aims to investigate how English is taught as a foreign language in the context of homeschooling in the Czech Republic. The research methodology employed is mixed-method research, which includes a questionnaire, an interview, and an observation. The primary research questions focus on the motivation for homeschooling, the ideology behind it, the amount of time spent learning English, the teaching methods used, the study materials used, the possible assessment methods, as well as the development of language skills.
