Exploring readability - a comparison of methods of text difficulty measuring
Prchalová, Dana ; Papík, Richard (advisor) ; Vášová, Lidmila (referee)
This bachelor thesis consists of two main parts. Following a short historical overview in the field, the most used readability formulæ for Czech and English languages are presented in the first part, with peeks to couple of solutions in other languages as well. Each readability measure is presented with an equation and instructions for its use. In the more practical second part, the work focuses at using or not using the formulæ on everyday basis, presents problems related to them and discusses their reliability supported by author's own measurements. Measuring the trend of readability within a literary work represents a novel use of the formulæ. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Kafková, Michala ; Řezníčková, Dana (advisor) ; Marada, Miroslav (referee) ; Hofmann, Eduard (referee)

The second research is aimed at revealing the perspectives used by geography teachers to assess the difficulty of texts useful in geography teaching. Based on a paradigmatic model, a typology of geography teachers' approaches to disciplinary reading was developed. The resulting types are four and reflect different forms of the two typology categories. Typology is based on how the teacher links reading with the achievement of geographic goals, as well as the character of pupils' activities defined by levels of thought operations and...
