Kindergarten-School Transition in the Early Childhood

Abstract

Nowadays, more and more children can learn a new language in kindergarten, and one of the key factors contributing to this trend is the influence of parents. Kindergartens, responding to this demand, are opening new groups where children can learn a new language, thereby broadening their cultural horizons. Another significant factor is globalization, which ensures that children who move here will learn the local language and traditions. (Szarka, 2021) Hungary, in particular, offers numerous opportunities for children to learn a language in early childhood. (Endrődy 2016) A thousand research studies deal with monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual curricula. These days, more and more families use not just one language.
