Options of implementation of the project teaching for German language teaching in the first level of elementary school
Havlíčková, Irena ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
This Diploma thesis deals with the project teaching and with the options of implementation of this method into second language teaching in the first level of elementary schools. Theoretical part of the thesis focuses on history, characteristics, classification, phases, advantages and disadvantages of the project teaching. In the second part, the thesis is based on a five-hour long project called "Berlin entdecken" created by the author and realized in the fifth year of elementary school with the extended second language teaching specialization. The thesis aims to find out students' attitude towards the project teaching. Also, based on a case study, it tries to find out whether the integration of this teaching method is applicable to teaching process among students with different education expectations. The research draws on both quantitative and qualitative methods (i.e. questionnaire, observation, and structured interview). Based on the carried out research, the thesis find out that the project teaching is an appropriate method for second language teaching in the first level of elementary schools. Similarly to other methods, however, the project teaching also has its constraints which need to be taken into consideration. KEYWORDS hands-on teaching perspective, project teaching, second language...

Problems English Speakers Face with Pronunciation of German Sounds
Jansová, Iva Bernadetta ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Zeman, Dalibor (referee)
This bachelor thesis explores differences between English and German language on the level of Phonetics and Phonology and defines German sounds causing the biggest difficulties to English speakers. Firstly, specialized literature sources are consulted, in which English and German sound systems are outlined, and after comparing these two systems, a hypothetical list of crucial problematic sounds is created. In the practical part it is intended to confirm or disprove the problematic character of these selected sounds based on the analysis of authentic recordings of English native speakers. The aim of the thesis is to compile a theoretically and practically verified list of the most problematic German sounds for learners with English as a mother tongue, or as an already acquired foreign language, so that the list can be used by the students themselves as well as the teachers of German as a Foreign/Second Language. Keywords: English Phonetics and Phonology, German Phonetics and Phonology, Contrastive Phonetics, Comparative Phonetics, German as a Second Language, German as a Foreign Language
