Use of computers in German classes
Skalická, Jana ; Berglová, Eva (advisor) ; Rössler, Paul (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis "Use of computers in German classes" is to present various ways of engaging computers in teaching German. The trend towards information society has made computers an essential part of our lives. In this regard all language teachers should consider finding new and effective ways of engaging computers in their classes and exploring new areas in which computers might become helpful. Czech educational system as well as educational system of other countries is governed by specific laws. As Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (hereafter referred to as "SERR") had significant role in the proposal of the new Education Act in relation to teaching foreign languages, the first chapter addresses the description and main ideas of this framework.

Developing of reading skills in teaching German as a foreign language in secondary-grammar schools
Kaločová, Kateřina ; Berglová, Eva (referee) ; Rössler, Paul (advisor)
In the presented thesis about developing reading skills in teaching German as a foreign language in Secondary-Grammar schools, it has been both theoretically and practically shown how important teaching of reading skills is. It was the author's original aim to complete a work that would address the readings' basic role in the communicative didactics and summarize its general significance in learning a foreign language. The general psychological character of reading and its biological, cognitive and affective aspects were the subjects of chapter two, together with the basic terminological items such as transfer and interference, context sensibility or semantic ambiguity tolerance. The communicative skills - such as linguistic, lexical, grammatical, semantic, phonological, orthographical and orthoepic - were presented with regard to their knowledge and mastery at the level of B1 and B2, as they are defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: learning, teaching, assessment. The objectives of both learning and teaching languages (pragmatic, cognitive and emotional) and their specificity are discussed in the second part of chapter three. The following chapter is dedicated to the definition of reading as a skill and its receptive character, especially in connection with the other...
