The aspects of bilingualism in the literary works of Ahdaf Soueif
Šindelářová, Alena ; Oliverius, Jaroslav (referee) ; Ondráš, František (advisor)
The central focus of this work is the aspects of bilingualism in the writings of the Egyptian writer Ahdaf Soueif. Bilingualism is a very broad topic and encompasses a large scale of cultural and linguistic connotations. The combination of my two majors, English and Arabic studies, has enticed my interest in exploring bilingual features in the literary works created by authors in a language different from their mother tongue. Moreover during my university studies I have sought to interconnect my two majors. I have built up a strong relationship to both of them and I wished to make use of the acquired knowledge in a thesis which would comprise both languages, English and Arabic, and their cultures. While studying English literature I have come across authors of predominantly AngloSaxon origin, which means representatives of literary and cultural life using their mother tongue for their writing. However my Arabic major has opened a new perspective to me. Just like in the case of the British and American literatures I have got to know Arab writers producing their literary works in their mother tongue, the Arabic language, but I have also discovered the realm of authors of Arab origin writing in English. The phenomenon of non-British or non-American authors whose literary medium is English has appeared...

Problems relating to the evaluation of oral and written speech in foreign language acquistion (with concentration on teaching Russian at secondary schools in the Czech Republic
Klarová, Šárka ; Folprechtová, Jana (advisor) ; Vysloužilová, Eva (referee) ; Liptáková, Zuzana (referee)
V úvodu práce (viz s.3) jsem formulovala 5 cílů týkajících se problematiky hodnocení produktivních řečových dovedností v cizojazyčné výuce se zaměřením na výuku ruštiny na středních školách. Podrobným studiem všech materiálu týkajících se nového modelu maturitní zkoušky z předmětu cizí jazyk a její komparací s jinými mezinárodními jazykovými zkouškami jsem dospěla názoru, že svou strukturou a požadavky je srovnatelná s ostatními mezinárodními jazykovými zkouškami. Kladným přínosem je především změna jejího charakteru ve zkoušku komplexní, neověřující pouze dovednost ústního projevu, jak tomu je doposud, ale testující všechny řečové dovednosti - čtení a poslech s porozuměním a písemný projev. Kromě toho, že odráží požadavky Rámcových vzdělávacích programu, jsou navíc její dvě úrovně obtížnosti (základní a vyšší) vázány na mezinárodní klasifikaci úrovní ovládání jazyka a odpovídají úrovním B1 a B2 vymezeným Společným evropským referenčním rámcem.

Winkler, Jakub ; Pavlíček, Luboš (advisor) ; Bartoš, Jan (referee)
Today, procedure of creating bachelor and master thesis suffers from many problems. Amongst them the main issue would consist of absence of central storage ability connected to creating and couching the thesis. In practice that would mean information about records from consultation, comments to thesis etc. are to be lost and neither student, nor his thesis couch can take a look to the history of thesis progress. Furthermore, there is a lack of date registration for consultations and deadlines of handing out thesis. As a consequence, both efficiency and quality of final thesis are decreased by such poor management. As a solution, support of whole thesis procedure with software tool is suggested. There are many options of such software solutions, however only one is the most suitable and that is exactly what this thesis is trying to find. Thesis formulates requirements for such software application, after the analysis of current situation and identification of core issues. Application should bring improvement of the situation and at the same time should be users, operational and financially acceptable. From wide spectrum of available solutions, only those which had fulfilled basic conditions were chosen. Basic conditions such as: users interface in Czech language, saving documents availability and large capacity of users accounts. Final group of potential solutions was put through detail analysis for support utility for thesis couching. This analysis finally shows the most suitable solution. This bachelor thesis brings analysis of utility for commonly available web application or hosted applications for bachelor and diploma thesis couching. The implementation could be done quickly without further problems, thanks to the undemanding IT and financial requirements of software application. After finding the most suitable solution, this thesis shows how large scale of efficiency Microsoft SharePoint Services 3.0 brings. Furthermore, at the end of this thesis, many more options for using this application are shown.
