Borovskiy, Sergey ; Smutný, Milan (referee) ; Ellederová, Eva (advisor)
Tato bakalářská práce si klade za cíl připravit teoretický rámec pro aplikaci agilní metody, konkrétně Scrumu, do procesu výuky anglického jazyka. Kromě toho práce obsahuje praktickou část, která je poskytuje ilustrativní příklad takové implementace prezentované pro demonstrační účely v prostředí odlehčeného a snadno ovladatelného manažerského softwaru Trello. K dosažení cílů stanovených v bakalářské práci je využita metoda integrované výuky předmětu a cizího jazyka (Content and Language Integrated Learning - CLIL). Vzhledem k tomu, že CLIL je duálně zaměřená metoda, Trello board obsahuje materiály předmětu Elektrotechnika vyučovaného ve studijním programu Angličtina v elektrotechnice a informatice na Fakultě elektrotechniky a komunikačních technologií Vysokého učení technického v Brně. Praktická část proto kombinuje jak odborný předmět, tak lingvisticky zaměřené materiály.

Řehák, Česlav ; Moraová, Hana (advisor) ; Novotná, Gabriela (referee)
This thesis seeks to create, test and discuss the success of several activities for the second year of the upper secondary education, where the target language is English with 20 % of all lessons taught with the use of CLIL. Individual activities are described from the points of view of the planned and the piloted course of the lesson, including reflection on which aspects of the activity worked and which require further adjustments in order to improve upon the motivational and educational impact. At the end of the thesis, the reception of the activities by the students, the influence of CLIL teaching on the students' motivation and the enthusiasm with which they participated is summarised. The fulfilment of the thematic plan and most importantly the common attributes of those activities that can be viewed as successful in respect to piloting are discussed. These notions are put into context of the generally accepted principles of CLIL teaching, which are described in the theoretical part. The need to create new teaching materials and develop new activities for upper secondary mathematics are discussed and defended in the theoretical part.

Vrbíková, Helena ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Kvasz, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis deals with preparation of teaching materials for teaching mathematics using the CLIL method. The chosen topic is statistics at lower secondary level. The thesis is divided into several chapters, first three chapters are more theoretically oriented and the last four chapters deal with the actual preparation and use of teaching materials for the chosen topic. The theoretical part of this theses introduces the CLIL method and several difficulties when using it, as well as suggestions for overcoming them successfully. Next, reasons for the choice of a particular topic in mathematics are given and the choice of English as the secondary language that is taught is justified. Lastly, teaching targets are set in accordance with the basic principles of this method both in mathematics and English as a second language. The specifics of the topic in question are carefully chosen while observing the current curriculum. The practical part of this theses focuses in detail on piloting the use of typically CLIL activities. The conclusions drawn from this first experiment are then used when preparing the actual materials for teaching statistics. The prepared materials are then presented and annotated with explanations for use by other teachers and results of their use in a classroom during the second...

Entrance knowledge and ideas about european countries of pupils of 6th and 7th grade.
VLTAVSKÁ, Ivana
This diploma thesis deals with the entrance knowledge and ideas that pupils in the 6th and 7th grades of primary schools have about European countries. The resulting data came from a research survey, which was preceded by a discussion of professional literature and other sources related to the topic of the thesis and the design of the research survey itself. The analytical part of the thesis focuses on the level of input knowledge and ideas, which is compared according to the different types, location and the size of the schools surveyed. The thesis also focuses on the differences in the knowledge between grades and genders and the sources of this information. There are also several possibilities of applying these results directly to the teaching of Europe at the 1st and 2nd stage of elementary schools. The practical part of the thesis presents a proposal for teaching activities using the CLIL method, which is based on the results of the research, professional literature and practical knowledge. The activities are complemented by a methodological manual for teachers and can be used in Geography and English language.

Using CLIL in Teaching First Aid and German at Lower Secondary Level
JUNGVIRTHOVÁ, Monika
The Master's thesis deals with the Content and Language Integrated Learning in German (CLILiG) of the topic of first aid, which is part of the subject of natural history at upper primary school. Its main goal was to create four CLILiG activities and verify them in practice. The theoretical part describes the key concepts associated with the creation of activities. It focuses on the general principles, objectives, methods and assessment in the CLIL approach, which links content and language learning. Attention is paid mainly to CLILiG approach. The methodological support and connection of CLILiG with the topic of first aid at upper primary school was also analysed. The practical part is focused on the creation and verification of activities with the topics of first aid for fractures, bleeding, loss of consciousness, burns and epileptic seizures. The research connected with their verification took place during natural history lessons of Year 8 pupils at the primary school in České Budějovice. The results showed that the proposed activities increase pupils' knowledge of first aid even more than during lessons without CLIL (p = 0.043). However, the effect of CLILiG on longer-term memorization has not been demonstrated via pretest-posttest design (p = 0.072). Pupils also rated the completed CLILiG activities; they liked the didactic game First Aid the most (average grade 1.7). At the beginning of the research, a short questionnaire survey was conducted, in which pupils included in the experiment participated. It showed that pupils were interested in learning natural history through a foreign language (10% of pupils would really enjoy it, 42% of pupils would enjoy it, 38% of pupils did not know, 10% of pupils would not enjoy it). However, they would prefer the English language (78% chose English, 13% English and German). Acquisition of foreign language skills in connection with the topic of first aid is then considered important (82.6% of pupils) and useful (87% of pupils).
