The present study is a cross-sectional study aimed at describing and evaluating the characteristics of the population. I chose the questionnaire method for the research. The questionnaire consists of 32 questions, 25 of which are open-ended. This provides maximum support for a deeper understanding of teachers’ motivation, attitudes and experiences, as well as their practice implementation activities. In the introductory part of the questionnaire, I collected the demographic characteristics of the teachers (gender, age, type of municipality where they work, type of pre-school they work in and nationality of children in their group). In the next part, I investigated the teachers’ knowledge about multilingual children, where they answered open-ended questions to describe the type of knowledge they have about multilingual children and where they obtained it from. I was curious about the teachers’ reading habits in the field of multilingualism, what and how often they read. The open questions of the questionnaire focused on the teachers’ experiences in practice. In particular, I wanted to know whether they had the possibility to ask for help and, if so, whom. The next section deals with the teachers’ studies, when they graduated and what courses they had on multilingualism. In the penultimate part, it seeks to explore, through open-ended questions, their knowledge of the researchers working on the subject in Hungary. Finally, a yes-no question was used to investigate their willingness to continue their studies.

The open-ended questions are designed to answer the following questions in as much detail as possible through the respondents’ own voluntary answers. What knowledge and experience do teachers currently working in public education have about multilingual children? Where do they currently obtain their theoretical and practical knowledge about multilingual children? What experience do they have that can be taken as good practice and good advice by colleagues? What is the theoretical-methodological background of teachers working on the integration of bilingual and multilingual children? What knowledge do teachers of multilingual children have? How can teachers cooperate with each other? The questionnaires were filled in using a Google Form and distributed on a voluntary basis through social networking sites and groups for teachers. The questionnaire for teachers can be found in the appendix of the study.
