World globalization brings more pressure to standardize language education. Unification of the style and teaching way in Europe and all around the world has some negatives, for example suppress of teaching another languages then English. A few documents focusing the analyses and creation recommendation for language teaching have been made. The most important document in Europe is Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment (CEFR) which determine knowledge of language to A, B and C and also describe which level should a student have after completing each school year. One of the instruments supporting language education is CLIL (Content and language integrated learning). Different teaching styles and attitudes had been compared during history. Comparative pedagogy has been established for this purpose. Comparative pedagogy is mapping and comparing particular education systems. A lot of organizations interested in comparative pedagogy have been established after the Second World War. Different states have distinct requirements for language teachers. The Czech Republic bases its language education policy on EU. EU´s goal is that all its citizens should be multilingual. This means that beside the native tongue people should speak two foreign languages. The Czech Republic is on the similar level as the majority of Europe.
