The Role of Cultural Studies as a Mediator of Intercultural Learning in Foreign Language Teaching, Particularly in German as a Foreign Language
Nečasová, Pavla ; Kouřimská, Milada (advisor) ; Höppnerová, Věra (referee) ; Váňová, Miroslava (referee)
It is evident that with the current political and economic situation in Europe inter-cultural communication is a necessity. A tool in the process of communication is Ianguage; in a multicultural Europe this means the languages of the particular nationalities. This fact increases the importance of Ianguage education with the goal of creating communication competence. The creation of communication skills and habits is more effective if it reflects real communication situations, ones which are connected to the needs of providing and receiving information. In the process of Ianguage learning, two things should be involved, Ianguage learning itself and also studying generál cultural knowledge. For this reason, foreign Ianguage teaching today is founded on a principle of integration. This principle assumes the complex character of foreign Ianguage learning, and therefore in the current didactics of. foreign languages, together with Ianguage knowledge, points out the importance of sociolinguistic and inter-cultural knowledge and skills which help one to learn the foreign Ianguage, so students can adequately communicate without any misunderstandings. This knowledge and these skills should be preformed and learned through cultural studies. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Højskole and their specifics in the Danish educational system
Laudová, Marika ; Kolář, Zdeněk (referee) ; Váňová, Miroslava (advisor)
This Thesis provides a short analysis of theory, history, and practice of the so-called folkehjskole (folk high schools) that represents a Danish contribution to pedagogy with worldwide importance. Those schools resulted from the social and cultural climate in Denmark as well as from the intellectual creativity of the churchman, philosopher, historian, member of parliament, and bard N.F.S. Grundtvig as well as of the pedagogue and organizer Ch. Kold. The first one was founded in 1844 in Rdding, North Schleswig. The political situation after the war between Prussia and Denmark and the need to improve the education and competence of rural youth to develop their farms provided an impetus for those schools as well. Those free schools were run on new principles, independently from the state school system, and influenced very positively the development and democratization of Danish society. After some time elapsed, similar schools were founded in the whole Scandinavia, to lesser extent in other European countries, in some Scandinavian and other communities in the USA, during the recent years in some developing countries. Lifelong education, supported by those schools, is providing inspiration for the contemporary European Union, as testified by the Grundtvig programme. The intellectual foundations, organization...

Comparative study of education systems of Austria and the Czech Republic
Císař, Miroslav ; Váňová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Prokop, Jiří (referee)
The rigorosum thesis deals with two European education systems, i.e. the Austrian and the Czech education system. The thesis is conceived rather theoretically and inquires into both legislation frames of the Austrian and the Czech education systems, whilst the thesis probes into the legislation back to the year of 1918 when both these countries originated after the break up of the Austro - Hungarian monarchy. Then, the rigorosum thesis concerns with the current conditions of both education systems providing detailed analysis and characteristics. The actual agenda and ongoing discussions are not ommited and they concern with general problems and trends, priorities and objectives in the EU's education policy background. Even the outcomes of the research studies of OECD PISA 2006 and TIMSS 2007 are assigned into this chapter. The core of the rigorosum thesis lies in the comparison of both education systems. The comparison of legislation frame and ongoing discussions, which are carried on in both countries, are not ommited. The conclusion of the rigorosum thesis, which is made up as the synthesis of the whole work, is rendered with current tendencies that arise in both countries. The conclusion is giving a deeper look and contemplation at social, economic, clerical and cultural moves and changes which currently...

Comenius' birth their idea was initiated by Josef Klika at the Literary Union meeting held in 1889. The collection was successfully presented at theRegional Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 in the Municipal Museum in Prague in 1892 and at the Ethnographic Exhibition in 1895.

Finally, in 1916 the newly founded Pedagogical Museum of J. A. Comenius was presented atits opening ceremony.
