Doležalová, Anna ; Bučková, Tamara (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
The thesis deals with how to use poetry in German classes for non-German students. Its objective is with the help of theory to create tentative didactic material which will introduce to upper primary school pupils selected works of poets of the German language, arouse in them interest in reading and writing poetry and show them various ways of reception and comprehension. From the viewpoint of literary theory, the focus is on the poetry of Terezín ghetto and concrete poetry of the 20th and 21st century. From the perspective of literature didactics, the concern is with utilising poetry in German classes. The methods used are primary and secondary sources research, critical assessment and comparison of the sources, text selection, content assessment in terms of length and demandigness followed by didactic adaptation of the texts. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter explains the role of literature in teaching foreign languages, special stress being on poetry and examples from literature written in German. The second chapter is built around poetry written by child and adult authors from Terezín ghetto. The third chapter deals with concrete poetry (and its authors). The fourth chapter focuses on didactic possibilities brought to German teaching by poetry. The last, fifth chapter...

Graphic novels in German language teaching
Klusáčková, Marie ; Bučková, Tamara (advisor) ; Švermová, Dagmar (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of using graphic novel in German language teaching (teaching German as a foreign language). The main premise of this thesis is that graphic novel, as a multimodal medium and a phenomenon of current literature, has a wide potential for the German (and other foreign languages) classroom. The goal of the thesis is to design a didactic material respecting the specific qualities of graphic novel and drawing upon its potential. The first chapter serves as an introduction, exploring graphic novel as a medium, as a phenomenon of current literature and as a pedagogical tool. The term is defined and put into context. In the second chapter, the method of a review study is employed to explore how graphic novel is used in the foreign language classroom. The systematic review has shown that it is possible to use graphic novel as a tool for achieving the objectives of foreign language teaching and learning - the language aims (through vocabulary acquistition, reading skills development and creative writing) as well as the cognitive and formative aims (through the development of literacies, cultural and historical awareness, intercultural competence and citizienship). Moreover, graphic novel proved to be positive influence on motivation. The third chapter uses the...
