Jakubová, Kateřina ; Převrátilová, Silvie (advisor) ; Šormová, Kateřina (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to illustrate the situation of a pupil with a different first language in a Czech primary school through a case study. The first part of the thesis is focused on the general theoretical context. The terminology is defined; then, the theoretical knowledge concerning the integration of pupils with DFL in the school class is described, pedagogical tools and intercultural communication. Subsequently, concepts like Czech as a second language for children and bilingualism are described. The analysis is based on three sources of data - interviews with the pupil's mother and her teacher, pupil's language exercises and the tutor's diary, which was kept as part of tutoring. At the end of the research, all research questions concerning the pupil, her integration into the Czech primary school, her language competence and family background were answered. It was found that the analysed subject is a pupil with DFL who is also a user of the Czech language at the level of a native speaker so that she can be classified as a bilingual child. The linguistic mistakes she makes in her speech stem often from insufficient vocabulary or insufficient knowledge of one of the language phenomena.

Errors are separately analyzed from a grammatical, morphologic, syntactic and lexicological perspective. Then errors are divided into categories and consequently described and interpreted. Interpretation of the errors takes into account the frequency of errors and focuses on intralingual errors and interlingual errors.

Šormová, Kateřina ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Saicová Římalová, Lucie (referee) ; Průcha, Jan (referee)
Reading Literacy of Roma Pupils Thesis - Kateřina Šormová Abstract This work is a contribution to Roma pupils' literacy research. The importance of literacy for an individual today is absolutely crucial; applied research suggests that people with advanced literacy skills are more likely to have a higher self-esteem, improved health, more satisfying jobs and higher income compared to those with low literacy skills. Persons who are at greater risk of reduced literacy level are those from different cultural backgrounds, unemployed and unskilled people, those with very low level of education and people living in social exclusion. Roma pupils (very often) belong to such groups of people, therefore it is necessary to set up measures to eliminate these risks. The need to develop language competence of Roma pupils in the Czech language, including reading comprehension ability, is also included in the Roma Integration Strategy by 2020. This thesis examines whether and how the reading literacy test results of Roma and non- Roma pupils differ, and describes factors of home and school environment that influence the Roma pupils' literacy development. Based on these research questions hypotheses were set. Our research of Roma pupils' literacy was conducted in 4th and 5th grades of primary schools in socially excluded...
