Ramasheuskaya, Katsiaryna ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Bednaříková, Božena (referee) ; Giger, Markus (referee)
Language adaptation of foreigners is always accompanied by a number of problems connected to the acquisition and the use of the language which becomes the primary communicative tool in the new environment. Ignoring and underestimating these problems typical of a particular language community can result in a failure to master the target language and consequently in the unsuccessful integration in the new society. This thesis is aimed at specific problems in the area of morphosyntax and phonetics, characteristic of Russian-speaking students of Czech. At the same time, it warns about the danger of overestimating positive transfer from Russian and emphasizes the necessity of using special didactic approach in teaching this group of foreign-language speakers. The analysis of the chosen language phenomena is based on the data from the Database of the voice recordings of spoken Czech by native speakers of Russian and the Database of language mistakes in Czech made by speakers whose native language is another Slavic language, which were created, among others, for the purpose of this thesis. The attention is specifically focused on the use of the reflexive se/si, forms of the auxiliary verb to be in the past tense, short forms of personal pronouns in spoken and written production of Russian-speaking...

Some problems in pronunciation when studying Czech as a second language: based on Russian speaking students
Ramasheuskaya, Katsiaryna ; Hrdlička, Milan (advisor) ; Hasil, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis describes the most frequent difficulties which Russian speaking students face while acquiring phonetic features of Czech. It also focuses on discovering the causes leading to fixation of foreign accent. We are trying to organize, on the basis of theoretical comparison of phonological systems of Czech and Russian, phonetic mistakes which Russian speaking students make. Subsequently it analyses phonetic features described in Czech for foreigners textbooks. It emphasises systematic identification of mistakes appearing in the speech of students studying Czech coming from Russian speaking environment, perceived by: (1) students themselves, (2) their teachers and (3) native speakers. This analysis contributes to better understanding of, how students master closely related foreign language, what difficulties they encounder in education and how the students can cope with those problems.
