Komoňová, Monika ; Škodová, Svatava (advisor) ; Šormová, Kateřina (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the use of mobile applications and web platforms in teaching Czech as a foreign language. The practical output is a set of thirty activities that focus on language skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing), grammar and vocabulary. The theoretical part first focuses on defining the concept of e-learning. The pros and cons of e- learning are discussed with regard to its use in synchronous teaching. Subsequently, the paper describes the methodological procedure for the implementation of synchronous teaching, the specifics of working with language material and teaching management in the online environment. Last but not least, the descriptions of reference levels A1 and A2 for Czech as a foreign language (according to the CEFR) are recapitulated. The practical part of this paper centres on the method of selection of applications and platforms and the methodical procedure of creating individual activities, which are presented in the form of methodical sheets. All applications and platforms were subjected to pretesting. Therefore, a description of the pretesting course and an evaluation of feedback is also provided. An integral part of this work is also a technical manual which serves as a guide for working with individual applications and platforms.

The student's orthographic skills on primary and lower-secondary schools
Jelínek, Ivo ; Šormová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Adam, Robert (referee)
(in English): This diploma thesis focuses on how spelling is taught as a part of Czech language lessons at primary schools. The thesis aims to describe the level of spelling knowledge in students attending first and lower secondary schools, and it also attempts to compare their performance. Attention is first paid to the essential theoretical framework of the Czech language, its spelling, and teaching in Czech. The possibilities of evaluating spelling knowledge in Czech language lessons are highlighted. For the practical part, a survey was performed at a primary school in Kolín, and a total of 84 pupils attending grades four to eight were selected. The participants were presented with several spelling exercises in three different formats: dictation, gap fills, and error correction. The collected data were analysed and compared. The findings suggest that the pupils' spelling knowledge reaches only an average level, and it is, therefore, necessary to pay more attention to spelling practice. With specific phenomena, better results were recorded in the 7th and 8th grades than with younger pupils.

Tichá, Magdaléna ; Šormová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Saicová Římalová, Lucie (referee)
The thesis focuses on an analysis of oral expression and methods of narration of Czech-English bilingual children in the age of 8-10 years. The children who became the subjects of the study are children living in the UK who have one or both parents Czech native speakers. Czech is used to varying degrees in the family communication of these children. The aim of the thesis is to map the means of expression and methods used in the narration and the specifics of the oral production of bilingual speakers. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on the analysis of professional literature, the core of the research part is the collected data in the form of audio recordings of pupils of the 3rd year of Czech School Manchester. The children told stories on the basis of the presented visual support in the form of pictures, in both Czech and English. The acquired recordings were subsequently analysed in terms of morphological, syntactic, lexical and other phenomena related to bilingualism. The Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) was used to analyse the narrative structure. The result of the case study is a summary of the tendencies that could be observed within the collected material.

Boumová, Eliška ; Šormová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Vaňková, Irena (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the use of cultural topics as part of the teaching of Czech as foreign language. Its first chapters summarize approaches towards the incorporation of these topics into the language classes, their definition and role in teaching the language, and their classification for the purposes of understanding the thematic context of a given theme. The next part of this thesis builds upon the example of a concrete historical figure, Vaclav Havel. Through an analysis of interviews held with teachers, the thesis maps their experience with the introduction of this concrete topic as part of Czech cultural topics incorporated into their classes, shows the factors on which incorporation of these topics in the class syllabus depends, shows what materials are typically used, whether or not they are accessible to the teachers, what potential the topic of Vaclav Havel holds in the teaching of the language, and what difficulties the incorporation of cultural topics of this type in the teaching of the language may entail. The overview of the utilization of the topic of Vaclav Havel in the teaching of Czech is complemented by analyses of interviews held with students and selected didactic materials (Basic Czech I, II, III; Čeština expres 1, 2, 3, 4; Česky krok za krokem 1, 2; Čeština...
The differences of reading comprehension at level B1 in three Czech textbooks for foreigners
Doležalová, Dominika ; Šormová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Homolková, Kamila (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the speech skills of reading comprehension and comparison of its implementation in selected textbooks of Czech as a foreign language at the B1 level. The analysis focuses on comparing how reading comprehension is approached in individual textbook materials - whether separate sections are set aside for this skill or not, whether reading texts are appropriate in terms of content and language of the level B1, and whether they are included in the reading texts activities before, during and after reading the text, or what form they have and what type of reading they focus on. The aim of the diploma thesis is also to find out whether the preferences of practicing only one of the types of reading do not prevail in selected textbooks, or whether the focus on practicing different types of reading according to SERR is balanced.
