Title of the thesis: Poetics of Jacques Prévert's work of art and the exploitation of his poetry in a French language education. Keywords: poetics, French poetry, French chanson, poetic realism, surrealism, motivation Abstract: The aim of this thesis was to intercept and denote an artistic legacy in Jacques Prévert's work of art which has an overtime value and is capable with its themes of everyday life to also address the contemporary generations. The magic of Prévert's genius consists in his simple language that is spoken by common men, all the people use this language and thus, they could understand it well. A poet intensifies his legacy by series of examples and illustrations of everyday life that make his works accessible for everyone. In a thesis, we have primarily paid attention to the poetics of his large artistic creation by pointing on the particularity of his poetic language, the simplicity and accessibility of his work. Through Prévert's poetry and chanson, we have tried to present French language to teenage students in an inventive and creative way not only as a language itself, but also as a cultural heritage of the country. We elaborated pedagogical sheets in a practical part of a thesis aimed to serve as a methodological resource for the French language teachers.

Usage of Literature texts in French language on a secondary grammar school
Majtánová, Lenka ; Ébert-Zeminová, Catherine (advisor) ; Listíková, Renáta (referee)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá využitím literárních textů v jejich originální, neupravené podobě při výuce francouzského jazyka na gymnáziu. Jejím hlavním cílem je poskytnou informace a konkrétní metodologické postupy učitelům francouzského jazyka, kteří s těmito texty již pracují, nebo by chtěli začít. Při práci s literárními díly se zaměřuje především na zlepšení porozumění čtenému textu v cizím jazyce za pomoci čtenářských strategií, a tím na zvýšení úrovně čtenářské gramotnosti žáků v jazyce mateřském, která je podle výzkumů v České republice horší než v mnoha ostatních vyspělých zemích. Dalším úkolem je vzbudit v žácích lásku k literatuře, přimět je číst více a nad literárním dílem kriticky uvažovat a vést s ním dialog. Abychom ospravedlnili práci s literárním textem při výuce, prozkoumali jsme metodické směry v historii cizojazyčného vyučování a sledovali jejich přístup k literatuře. Zjistili jsme, že literární texty využívala především tradiční metoda založená na překladu a studiu gramatiky na jejich základě, ale její přístup jsme shledali nevhodným. Další metody porozumění textu opomíjejí a ten se znovu vrací až v komunikativní metodě a využití literárních textů se rozmáhá především dnes. Tento fakt se odráží také v Rámcových vzdělávacích programech, které kladou důraz na schopnost samostatného...

Landová, Adéla ; Jančík, Jiří (advisor) ; Listíková, Renáta (referee)
1 Abstract The Buquoy aristocratic family is a branch of the Longueval family that has origins in current France. The Buquoys arrived in Lands of the Bohemian Crown during the thirty years' war when Charles Bonaventure was called in to fight Bohemian Protestants. Soon after, he received an estate in the Southern Bohemia from Ferdinand II where he and his descendants stayed nearly three and a half centuries. The Buquoys soon extended their opulent estates by Prague palaces and few regions in the North Bohemia. They contributed to advances in agriculture, glassblowing and in the area of social and scholar reforms. They were also engaged in politics and became important patrons of culture and arts. Nevertheless, the Buquoys suffered the same fate as other aristocratic families. In the beginning of the 19th century, they started losing their privileges and estates and, in 1945, they were expelled from Czechoslovakia based on Beneš decrees concerning retribution. The aim of this thesis is to point out the cultural legacy which Buquoys left behind in the current Czech Republic and to describe their overall contribution in particular areas. The thesis is divided into two chapters. The first chapter is dedicated to the general picture and to the history of aristocratic families in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown...
