A Contrastive Approach in Teaching Czech Language to Czech Deaf
Hudečková, Martina ; Petráňová, Romana (advisor) ; Macurová, Alena (referee)
This work deals with the issue of teaching Czech language to Czech deaf and with the importance of sign language in this teaching process. There is described a process of language acquisition (for hearing and deaf children) and there is also described the difference between acquiring the first language and learning a second / foreign language. The work also denotes the causes of low literacy of Czech deaf and the possibility of solving this problem. Only a major change in the way of teaching Czech language can be the solution. Czech is a second language for Czech deaf and if we want it to be taught effectively, it must be taught in the contrast with the Czech sign language. Keywords: deaf, teaching Czech language, contrastive approach, language acquisition, language learning, first language, second language, foreign language

On interference between Czech, Russian and English in language learning
Dvořáková, Jana ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
The thesis deals with second language acquisition (SLA) of Czech in Russian and English students. It presents the main theories of SLA (generative and cognitive approaches) and compares them to the results of author's research into L2 acquisition of Czech morphology and syntax in speakers of two typologically and structurally different mothertongues. It shows that language transfer plays an important role in SLA and that some of the generative assumptions about SLA that are claimed to apply universally cannot be proven for Czech.
