Pragmatics Aspects in Czech Language Textbooks for Elementary Schools
Michelčíková, Viktorie ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Hájková, Eva (referee)
The topic of this thesis is communicative competence and pragmatic aspects in Czech language textbooks at elementary schools. Education aims to achieve six key competencies, including communicative competence. The thesis's theoretical part focuses on defining concepts such as pragmatics, gender, politeness, cooperative communication, dialogue, argumentation, and manipulation. In the practical part, the thesis analyses five third-year Czech language textbooks and examines to what extent pragmatic aspects are included in the textbooks. The research has shown that although pragmatic aspects are included in the textbooks, their level is not sufficient in most cases, and it is necessary to supplement these topics with additional supporting materials. The outcome of this work could be useful for Czech language teachers at the first level of primary schools who intend to focus on developing their pupils' communicative competence and improving their pragmatic communication skills. Keywords Argumentation, dialogue, gender, communicative competence, pragmatics, pragmatic aspects, manipulation, textbook, politeness

Vyhnánková, Lenka ; Hájková, Eva (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eliška (referee)
The thesis deals with critical points in teaching syntax at the lower secondary level of elementary school. The aim of the thesis is to identify the causes of the teacher's attitude towards syntax as a critical point in the teaching of Czech language at the lower secondary level of elementary school and to determine whether the goal of teaching syntax is fulfilled, which we consider to be the development of students' abilities and skills aimed at improving their language practice. Teacher attitudes are investigated using a questionnaire survey. Based on the findings from this survey, an analysis of entrance exams and a second questionnaire survey are also conducted, which aims to confirm and refine some of the findings from the first questionnaire survey, mainly related to the reduction of syntactic teaching content. The thesis further examines students' attitudes towards syntactic content and analyzes their work from a syntactic perspective. In the theoretical part, we describe theoretical background, comment on critical points in teaching syntax and the syntax system itself, describe the framework educational program, textbooks, and syntactic teaching content for individual grades. In the practical part, we first introduce the research methodology and set the assumptions that are evaluated in the...
