Stárková, Zuzana ; Hájková, Eva (advisor) ; Šindelářová, Jaromíra (referee) ; Hrdlička, Milan (referee)
This dissertation concentrates on the development of writing skills in learners of Czech as a foreign/second language at A2-B2 levels. It aims to determine whether creative writing has positive influence on linguistic and discursive competence in acquiring Czech, as opposed to classic approaches. For these purposes, a probe was conducted in form of a one-semester qualitative action research. The sample consisted of 30 non-native University respondents. They were divided into two experimental and two control groups - with upmost regard to their comparability in terms of language levels, socio-linguistic parameters, the genres and topics assigned, as well as the number of lessons taught. In experimental groups, the writing skills was developed by the method of creative writing while the control groups were taught by means of traditional approach. After the semester, in case of experimental group I and control group I (at levels B1/B2), comparable increase in competences took place, therefore it can be concluded that the creative writing method may influence the development of the writing skills positively. In case of experimental group II and control group II (at levels A2/B1), the results are ambiguous. Nevertheless, the experimental groups̕ respondents had higher sureness in drafting.

Uncovering the L2 motivational system: a pilot study of Czech and Polish students
DACHEVA, Elena
The bachelor thesis seeks to discover the L2 motivational system among Czech and Polish students, more precisely among students studying English language and literature at the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic and at the Jagiellonian University in Poland. The research undertaken was inspired by two studies. Firstly, Dornyei's study conducted in Hungary, where the main focus of the research were language attitudes and language learning motivation. Its results led Dornyei to outline a new approach which conceptualized second language (L2) learning motivation, called the 'L2 Motivational Self System'. Secondly, Taguchi et al.'s 'Comparative study in Japan, China and Iran', who undertook their study to examine if Dornyei's new System was country-specific. The aim of the thesis is to provide the reader with a meaningful insight into the topic of 'motivation' both as part of psychology and its transition to psycholinguistics, where motivation is represented as an important influencer of the learner's language acquisition. My research was undertaken in order to examine Dornyei's 'L2 Motivational Self System' in the Czech Republic and Poland. To my knowledge, such a focus has never been adopted in these countries before. In Chapter One, I inform the reader about the general meaning of 'motivation' and evolution of motivation theories through time. Chapter Two discusses the meaning of motivation and its functions in Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Chapter Three addresses the findings of two foreign studies carried out in Asia and Hungary. Finally, Chapter Four is dedicated to my own comparative research between the two universities in the Czech Republic and Poland.
