Benková, Kateřina ; Červinková Poesová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Farrell, Mark Robert (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the approaches and criteria influencing the choice of an English pronunciation model with a special focus on the specific preferences of Czech students. The aim of the theoretical part is to compare the most frequently used pronunciation models, Received Pronunciation and General American, in respect of the criteria and Czech educational environment. The practical part analyses Czech students' preferences regarding their contact with pronunciation models in their free time and at school. A questionnaire, which included a listening task, was distributed to students at four upper-secondary schools. The answers to the questions indicate that more students tend to favour the British accent whereas the results of the listening task show that the majority of the students prefer the American accent.
