The challenges of multilingual and intercultural team collaboration. A case study of KAM organization.
BOSZCZYKOVÁ, Iva
This master thesis examines challenges of intercultural and multilingual team collaboration using the example of Christian non-profit organization - Křesťanská Akademie Mladých (KAM). Qualitative guided interviews with its American workers were used to collect data that provided information on various aspects of intercultural and multilingual team collaboration such as challenges, communication, multilingualism and interculturality in the organization. Subsequently, a qualitative content analysis was used to evaluate the data, which led to conclusion that one of the biggest challenges for the American staff of this organization is the Czech language. In terms of longevity, quality of work and life in the Czech Republic, it is extremely important to learn the Czech language.

Languaging in a geriatrics clinic in rural Germany
MÜLLER, Katrin
This thesis is based on nine interviews which were conducted among physicians and patients in a rural gertiatrics clinic in Germany in which a significant number of staff is not native speakers of German, yet patients are, and the regional dialect is notable. The analysis of linguistic, intercultural and communicative obstacles staff faces in their daily life and the solutions they raise, is compared to current literature on the topic. The needs patients raise about language, communication and culture are analysed to complete the picture. The thesis conludes with an overview of how obstacles and their solutions make up languaging in the hospital, and how both hospitals and conceptualisers of German courses for migrant workers can expand their course programmes in oder to better prepare doctors and nurses for work in German, monolingual hospitals. The research also confirms what literature has found on multilingual practices in hospitals so far.

Multicultural Education
HESSOVÁ, Lenka
In my work I address the needs rooting in the ongoing process of systematic efforts to improve the Czech educational system. Mainly, I focus on the question of how to implement the cross-curricular topic Multicultural Education into English language classes at lower and upper secondary schools. As Multicultural Education, along with the other cross-curricular topics, has become an obligatory and essential part of the reformed Czech curricula. I am employed with the English Department at the Faculty of Education of The University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. That is why I aim to introduce the theoretical background and history of the cross-curricular topic Multicultural Education in the Czech educational system. Then, based on that theoretical background, I shall design and run a course at the Pedagogical faculty for our students (teachers-to-be) that will provide them with sufficient amount of theory. Within the course the students will be given enough practical examples of the implementation of Multicultural Education into English classes when combining cultural and linguistic aims and at the end of the course I will allow the students to design and try such a class during their peer teaching. I will also publish the results of the course for all in-service teachers (the lesson plans prepared by students) on a well-known site called Metodický portál RVP.CZ (Methodological Gateway).
