Stehlíková, Karolína ; PROVAZNÍK, Jaroslav (advisor) ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (referee)
This work deals with prospective method of teaching French as a foreign language through drama in education. It resumes different approaches of language teaching in the second half of 20th century. It puts drama methods into the context of language teaching. In present time, these methods are marginal in language teaching in the Czech Republic. However, their relevance becomes clear since the action learning is valued in language teaching. Next section of the work is devoted to analysis of an original French book used as a basis for an educational project called Paris. Furthermore, the work describes personal pedagogical experience with a group of high school students on a project pursuing the topic of Paris city. The project is focused on developing communicative competences of Czech students learning French using methods of drama in education such as role playing and improvisation. This work is thus an example of specific use of methods described above.
