Teaching rhetorics on secondary school. Present state and future perspectives
Potůčková, Marie ; Chejnová, Pavla (advisor) ; Vlčková, Jana (referee)
This thesis deals with various approaches of secondary school teachers and students to the rhetoric and the teaching of communication. The main purpose of the thesis is to map how students see the quality of their own communicative skills and the quaility of communication classes and the attitude of teachers to including communication in their classes. Attention is also paid to the development of communication teaching methods. The survey was carried out at seven Prague secondary schools mainly by using questionnaires. Data were also collected during interviews and when attending classes. The survey suggests that both students and teachers consider the teaching of communication a necessary part of Czech language and literature lessons and have a responsible attitude to it. Students are more critical to their own speech than their teachers. They have quite a good knowledge of the theoretical basis of rhetoric and communication but they have problems applying the theory in practise. Teachers prefer professional, clear and attractive textbooks of communication. As for the future of the subject teachers are of the opinion that it should become an inseparable part of all subjects, i. e. of comprehensive education. KEY WORDS rhetoric, teaching of communication, communicative skills, speech, discussion

The word 'populism' has lately been frequently appearing in political discourse all over the world.

Gilyazov, Danil ; Kotásek, Miroslav (referee) ; Walek, Agata (advisor)
Velké množství učitelských technik veřejného projevu vznikla již v době kdy se lidé naučili komunikovat, toto dělá dnešní prezentaci něčím víc než pouze projevem řeči. Lidé studující lungvistiku prokázali že effectivní prezentace by se měla skládat z několika aspektů, aby zapůsobila na obecenstvo a vyvolala pocit důležitosti. V této tézy bych rád identifikoval tyto aspekty a popsal jak obecenctvo příjímá každé slovo dané prezentace.

Ouahdjinová, Tereza ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Podzimek, Jan (referee)
Diploma thesis: Media Training - The Rhetoric for Practice Tereza Ouahdjinová Abstract English The subject of this diploma thesis is the concept of media training in current practice, with a focus on individuals who, in their interactions with the media, not only represent the face of corporate, political and other organizations but also use the media to reach the general public. Due to the media attention that is attracted by these representatives, it is crucial that they know how to comport themselves in front of the media and how to utilize it to efficiently effect the target audiences. For this reason, media training focuses on the different forms of an individual's presentation, with the main focus being on speech. The thesis makes use of the foundations of rhetoric as a theoretical background for perceiving media training, specifically in regard to the ability to speak compellingly, correctly, and with consideration so as to influence the audience. Knowledge of rhetoric is key to making convincing arguments and giving prompt responses, and is a skill that can be developed, practiced and perfected over time. Media training interlinks this knowledge with the principles and processes of how the media function and teaches how to formulate messages and what to do and do not in interaction with journalists....
