Use of Modern Media in Teaching German in the Czech Republic
Vratišovský, Karel ; Podhajská, Eva (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
Im dritten Studienjahr habe ich im Deutschunterricht an verschiedenen Grundschulen und Gymnasien hospitiert und ein Jahr später hatte ich auch die Möglichkeit, während meines Praktikums1 selbst Deutsch an einem Prager Gymnasium zu unterrichten. Danach habe ich auch an einer Prager Berufsschule Deutsch unterrichtet. In dieser Zeit kam ich zum Resultat, dass die Änderungen in der Methodik des Fremdsprachenunterrichts an diesen Schulen, die ich besucht habe, kaum zu sehen waren. Auch die Unterrichtsstrukturen waren ganz traditionell organisiert. Ich stellte fest, dass nur sehr wenige Deutschlehrer moderne Technik im Sprachunterricht benutzen. Ich war ein wenig enttäuscht, als ich feststellte, dass die Lehrer auch heute, in der Zeit des Internets und moderner Kommunikationstechnik, nur das Lehrbuch, das Arbeitsheft und die Tafel einsetzen.

Argumentation and debate as effective means of developing communicative competence
Špaček, Ondřej ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
The presented rigorous thesis deals with the topic of argumentation and debate in the teaching of German as a foreign language in high schools and gymnasiums. In its theoretical part, it examines the attitude of Czech pupils and teachers to the contribution and meaning of teaching argumentation in schools using questionnaires and personal interviews. The author also analyses the mediation of communicative competences, especially argumentation, in textbooks for German as a foreign language. The research and analysis show that both teachers and pupils see good reasons to study argumentation for both school and "practical" life. At the same time, it is revealed that the mentioned textbooks show shortcomings in the mediation of communicative competences, in particular in regard to pragmatic competences. In addition to this, the work presents two projects, which largely support the development of communicative competences for pupils: "Jugend debattiert international" (International youth debates), which teaches pupils the art of debating, and the DSD II language exam, which verifies the language competences of pupils at the B2/C1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. In the practical part, the author presents some methods and exercises that can be well used to...

Klusáčková, Marie ; Bučková, Tamara (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of using graphic novel in German language teaching (teaching German as a foreign language). The main premise of this thesis is that graphic novel, as a multimodal medium and a phenomenon of current literature, has a wide potential for the German (and other foreign languages) classroom. The goal of the thesis is to design a didactic material respecting the specific qualities of graphic novel and drawing upon its potential. The first chapter serves as an introduction, exploring graphic novel as a medium, as a phenomenon of current literature and as a pedagogical tool. The term is defined and put into context. In the second chapter, the method of a review study is employed to explore how graphic novel is used in the foreign language classroom. The systematic review has shown that it is possible to use graphic novel as a tool for achieving the objectives of foreign language teaching and learning - the language aims (through vocabulary acquistition, reading skills development and creative writing) as well as the cognitive and formative aims (through the development of literacies, cultural and historical awareness, intercultural competence and citizienship). Moreover, graphic novel proved to be positive influence on motivation. The third chapter uses the...
