This bachelor thesis presents an educational action research project focused on the teaching of the English dental fricatives /θ/ and /ð/ to Czech EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. The theoretical part focuses on the description of the dental fricatives and their production in standard and several other English accents. Furthermore, the issue of teaching pronunciation is being discussed with special attention paid to the Czech students of English and their problems with the pronunciation of the target sounds. The practical part turns the attention to a detailed description of the action research project which was implemented by the author of the thesis in one of her English courses during January and February 2011 with the aim to improve her own teaching methods and at the same time help her students to improve their pronunciation of the English dental fricatives.
