Vacková, Veronika ; Kasíková, Hana (advisor) ; Koťa, Jaroslav (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to introduce game as a teaching and educational method. Game is the most natural activity of a child. Therefore, every teacher should be familiar with possibilities of classifying games into educational activities. There are many definitions of games, I mention some of them in my work, and I also present examples of games, classified according to their specialization. I tried to contain important factors that operate on the proper course of the healthy and active game. As part of my pedagogical practice, I applied the selected games to students and I tried to affect their effectiveness and popularity. One part of my work is a chapter about games in different developmental stages. I present the possible games, toys and activities, appropriate and proportionate to different developmental steps. The result is a theoretical base I would like to develop in my next research.

Common mistakes Czech students make in English and their Remedial Treatment
Ganev, Ondřej ; Dvořák, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Hofmannová, Marie (referee)
Common mistakes Czech students make in English represent the main topic of the presented master thesis. The theoretical part mainly deals with the presentation of various TEFL (Teaching English as Foreign Language) methods. Moreover, they are discussed from several perspectives, including techniques, strategies and principles while using the particular method, the role of the teacher, his or her relationship with students, and especially the response to errors within each of the methods. The purpose of presenting TEFL methods is to show also the connection between mistakes and methods themselves. Concerning the area of mistakes and their corrections, we focus on the classification of mistakes and their division. The practical part is based on various illustrations of mistakes from students' writing assignments. These mistakes are divided into four major classes, including grammar, spelling, wrong word and word order. The thesis also deals with the remedial treatment which may hopefully reduce the number of possible mistakes. The aim of the thesis is to compare the level of students' English language knowledge at the Secondary School of Tourism in Prague where the author works as an English teacher.
