Nedbalová, Žofie ; Škodová, Svatava (advisor) ; Prokšová, Hana (referee)
This thesis focuses on teaching Czech language to deaf Czech-signing children in the first five grades of elementary school. It analyses the use of videos with subtitles in language teaching. In the introductory chapters, the legislation regarding the education of deaf children is outlined, together with the terminology delimiting the target group for the thesis. The following part looks at the reasons why subtitles are added to audiovisual works, considering the language learning and the development of communication competence in Czech as a second/foreign language. Here, it is especially the reading competence that is stressed, and the process of reading is therefore also discussed here. Based on these, the thesis then lists the various components of an audiovisual work with subtitles and also the benefits that come from watching such a work. The condition for effective learning from the subtitles is the relevancy of the subtitles for their addressees. The subtitles have to fulfill certain requirements, both on the technical level and the appropriate language demands. Supported by relevant research literature, this thesis explains the time limitations of subtitles (speed of the subtitles aimed at children, minimal and maximal duration of the projection, breaks between the subtitles, etc.) and...

The theoretical part focuses on the definition and explanation of the basic concepts of lexicology, for example, lexeme, term, concept, multi-word lexeme, phrases, idioms, etc. In addition, the theoretical part is dedicated to collocability and collocation phrases. The analytical part includes search of adjectives connected with the noun "water" in the Czech National Corpus SYN2015, then its categorization, and an independent analysis. For clarity, I chose to categorize by frequency. It is necessary to explain the investigated collocations from the semantic side. It is also necessary to compare the obtained results with the results that appear in dictionaries of Czech language, specifically in Příruční slovníku jazyka českého (1957), Slovník spisovného jazyka českého (1989), Slovník české frazeologie a idiomatiky, výrazy neslovesné (2009), Slovník české frazeologie a idiomatiky, výrazy větné (2009) and Tezaurus jazyka českého, slovník českých slov a frází souznačných, blízkých a příbuzných (2007).

Presentation of Czech Conjugation in Present Tense in Textbooks of Czech for Foreigners (for Russian Speaking Students)
Namestnikova, Svetlana ; Škodová, Svatava (advisor) ; Šebesta, Karel (referee)
(in English): The master's thesis deals with the question of how verb conjugation is presented in selected Czech textbooks for Russian-speaking students. It focuses on the way selected teaching materials classify Czech verbs and introduce their conjugation. The verb classification used in textbooks is compared with that in grammar books for native Czech speakers and that in grammar books for foreigners. and with CEFR recommendations for Czech at A1 and A2 levels. Each of the analyzed textbooks presents a system of Czech verbs in their own way. There is no unified approach to the classification of verbs. The systems used in textbooks differ between those in grammar books for native speakers and in those for foreigners. The aim of the work is to reveal similarities and differences in the classification and presentation of verbs in selected textbooks. The analysis of the gaps in the presentation of verb classes in present tense can be useful in the creation of teaching materials.

Corpus approach to teaching Czech as a foreign language
Zasina, Adrian Jan ; Lukešová, Lucie (advisor) ; Škodová, Svatava (referee) ; Balowski, Mieczyslaw (referee)
Title: Corpus approach to teaching Czech as a foreign language Author: Mgr. Bc. Adrian Jan Zasina Department: Institute of the Czech National Corpus Supervisor: Mgr. Lucie Lukešová, Ph.D. Abstract: Recently, we have experienced a rapid development in information technologies which is closely linked with the development of language corpora. Language corpora provide an indispensable amount of authentic data and information about how the real language works, therefore it is no wonder they deserve our attention in language teaching as well. We have seen a growing interest in the use of corpus resources in teaching Czech as a foreign language, however, the methodological issues dealing with specific applications have so far been rather neglected. Therefore, the present dissertation aims to systematically map the possibilities of incorporating corpora into current language teaching while considering the specific language needs of foreigners based on their typical errors. The emphasis is not only on a coherent methodological framework, but also on a practical demonstration of the work with corpus data, which is intended not only for corpus specialists but especially for teachers and their students. The basis of the work lies in an extensive analysis mapping the most problematic phenomena in teaching Czech...
