The Role of Cultural Studies as a Mediator of Intercultural Learning in Foreign Language Teaching, Particularly in German as a Foreign Language
Nečasová, Pavla ; Kouřimská, Milada (advisor) ; Höppnerová, Věra (referee) ; Váňová, Miroslava (referee)
It is evident that with the current political and economic situation in Europe inter-cultural communication is a necessity. A tool in the process of communication is Ianguage; in a multicultural Europe this means the languages of the particular nationalities. This fact increases the importance of Ianguage education with the goal of creating communication competence. The creation of communication skills and habits is more effective if it reflects real communication situations, ones which are connected to the needs of providing and receiving information. In the process of Ianguage learning, two things should be involved, Ianguage learning itself and also studying generál cultural knowledge. For this reason, foreign Ianguage teaching today is founded on a principle of integration. This principle assumes the complex character of foreign Ianguage learning, and therefore in the current didactics of. foreign languages, together with Ianguage knowledge, points out the importance of sociolinguistic and inter-cultural knowledge and skills which help one to learn the foreign Ianguage, so students can adequately communicate without any misunderstandings. This knowledge and these skills should be preformed and learned through cultural studies. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

On interference between Czech, Russian and English in language learning
Dvořáková, Jana ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Bozděchová, Ivana (referee)
The thesis deals with second language acquisition (SLA) of Czech in Russian and English students. It presents the main theories of SLA (generative and cognitive approaches) and compares them to the results of author's research into L2 acquisition of Czech morphology and syntax in speakers of two typologically and structurally different mothertongues. It shows that language transfer plays an important role in SLA and that some of the generative assumptions about SLA that are claimed to apply universally cannot be proven for Czech.
