Hůla, Filip ; Botlík Nuc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Nečasová, Pavla (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the phenomenon of escape rooms and their use in education. Firstly, a theoretical basis was created in which the individual components of escape rooms were elaborated in detail. Understanding all the components, their functions and the whole concept provided the opportunity to explain the applicability of escape rooms in education, specifically to outline the possibilities and limits of escape rooms. These have been described from both a technical and a pedagogical perspective. Escape rooms have been put in the context of pedagogical theory, where they have found support both in the curriculum and in other pedagogical principles. The roles of both teacher and students in this regard were characterized. The use of Escape Rooms in education was concretised in terms of foreign language teaching, explaining the possibilities offered by escape games in German language teaching. In the practical part of the thesis, an original escape game for German language teaching, Treasure in Vienna, was created.

After that these primary schools are described along with their school educations programs, textbooks, workbooks. There are presented protocols of sitting in on classes from the 120 German language lessons, that have been visited. Then these data are evaluated. The sitting in on classes show that at these primary schools are most commonly used forms of working in the plenum and frontal instriction - interpretation. At two schools, there was no group work in any teaching classes. A total of 209 pupils and 11 German language teachers completed questionnaires on organisational forms of teaching.

The occurrence of interference errors in the teaching of German as a foreign language caused by the influence of Czech as a mother language with a focus on the area of sentence structure of high school students
Nováková, Tereza ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Botlík Nuc, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of interlingual interference between Czech and German. It focuses on the area of sentence structure, which can be very different in these languages. In addition to the most common errors made by students in this area of German language learning, the thesis also focuses on some selected didactic factors that contribute to the student's success and error rate. These include, for example, the use of methods, the work with the textbook and the teacher's general approach. One of the goals of the research was to map the most frequent mistakes made by Czech high school students in the area of sentence structure. It also focused on teachers' experience and approach to deal with interference errors during classes. The last part consisted of an analysis of a selected German language textbook used by students and teachers at a relevant language level. The results showed that students have the most difficulties with word order within subordinate clauses, especially with the conjunctions 'denn', 'weil' and 'wenn', and with the verbatim translations. Most teachers include work with the linguistic structures of the Czech language in their lessons. They mostly work with interference by pointing out the problematic phenomenon, explaining it and giving further examples. Only a few of...
