The culture of linguistic expression as a communication skill, and therefore part of general culture, is subject to a number of developmental and environmental influences. In this paper, the authors, wanting to determine the impact of school and non-school factors on the culture of the linguistic expression of pupils at a younger school age, examine the opinions of teachers (N = 273) on the following: (a) Which factors largely contribute to the development of the culture of linguistic expression of pupils? (b) Which factors largely hinder the development of the culture of linguistic expression of pupils? According to the survey, school contributes most to the development of the culture of linguistic expression in pupils, while means of mass communication have the greatest negative impact on the development of language competences in pupils at a younger school age. These findings emphasize the issue of media literacy or media education, in which parents, teachers and schools, respectively, would be the main media socializators in the field of the culture of linguistic expression.
