Blender Add-on for Procedural Bridge Generation
Kučerová, Alžběta ; Milet, Tomáš (referee) ; Chlubna, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is the draft and implementation of a Blender add-on, which would simplify the process of modeling three-dimensional models of bridges while implementing a procedural approach. In contrast to already existing solutions, this implementation enables creation of multiple construction types. It also assembles select parts of the bridge either out of user’s own objects or models provided by the add-on itself. Procedural creation of geometry is implemented using Geometry Nodes as it provides many benefits over traditional methods of modeling. The final product was published and is available for free use.

The Role of Visual Components in English Language Teaching Textbooks and in Teaching Methods from Diachronic Point of View
KUČEROVÁ, Alžběta
This thesis is concerned with visual components in English language teaching textbooks. The theoretical part presents basic types and functions of visual components and also deals with four language teaching methods, their development, principles that they are based on and techniques which are used during lessons. On the basis of findings from the theoretical part there are analysed four books. Each of them corresponds with one of the language teaching methods mentioned in the theoretical part. The analyses are supported with typical visual components from the textbook. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate to what extent is the typical usage of visual components from each method beneficial for teaching languages nowadays.

Perception of English prototypes in Czech and German mono-lingual speakers
Kučerová, Alžběta ; Lancová, Klára (advisor) ; Červinková Poesová, Kristýna (referee)
[The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and describe how semantic prototypes are transferred and perceived from L1 Czech and L1 German participants into their L2 English. This thesis attempts to pinpoint and describe whether there are differences in the perception of the prototypes in the two monolingual groups, with the main focus on typicality judgement, grammatical gender and prepositional prototypes. The main assumed source of differences is considered to be the said L1 language background. A questionnaire was created for both Czech and German participants with seven tasks testing the perception of prototypes in their L2 English and to see whether a L1 to L2 negative language transfer takes place. The analysis shows that in the perception of prototypes within typicality judgement exercises, the two tested L1 groups do not differ largely and that the size of one's specialized vocabulary and the fact, that English is their L2, not L1, seems to play a role. Nonetheless, at the scale of this research, it seems plausible to say that prepositional and grammatical gender prototypes are transferred into the participants' L2. More in-depth research on the topic is needed; however, to confirm or reject these findings.]

Comparison of language teaching methods
KUČEROVÁ, Alžběta
Abstract This thesis is concerned with language teaching methods and how they there are applied in practise. It focuses mainly on their development and description of techniques and principles that are characteristic for these methods. The practical part is patterned on findings gained from observation of classes in different language schools and also on experience of one student who attended the suggestopedic course. In each course the same aspects are observed, which play an important role in a success rate of an approach to teaching. The thesis sets out to show the advantages and disadvantages of particular methods and compared the results of classroom observation.
