Vzájemné ovlivňování angličtiny a druhého cizího jazyka a jejich vliv na jazykovou úroveň studentů na českých středních školách
Humhalová, Tereza ; Mikuláš, Martin (advisor) ; Dvořák, Bohuslav (referee)
My diploma thesis is concerned with the possible effects of linguistic transfer between a Czech grammar school students' acquired languages, namely English and French or German, on their performance in these languages. The thesis is written on the backdrop of the Czech Education System. The System of Curricular Documents and the related documents which predetermine the students' language development are introduced, and their most important implications for the development of the students' L2 and L3 are listed out. The foreign languages which this thesis is predominantly focused on, namely English, French and German, are analysed diachronically, synchronically and typologically to establish their main principles, their similarities, and differences, which may serve as the possible sources of linguistic transfer. Cognitive processes underlying the development of L2 and L3 systems in the context of the Czech Education System and relevant theories are introduced, including the variables which determine to a significant degree the development of these languages and may have implications for the possible instances of linguistic transfer. Hypotheses and research questions which arise from the theoretical research are then proposed, the answers to which I intend to provide by means of a...

Hůla, Filip ; Botlík Nuc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Nečasová, Pavla (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the phenomenon of escape rooms and their use in education. Firstly, a theoretical basis was created in which the individual components of escape rooms were elaborated in detail. Understanding all the components, their functions and the whole concept provided the opportunity to explain the applicability of escape rooms in education, specifically to outline the possibilities and limits of escape rooms. These have been described from both a technical and a pedagogical perspective. Escape rooms have been put in the context of pedagogical theory, where they have found support both in the curriculum and in other pedagogical principles. The roles of both teacher and students in this regard were characterized. The use of Escape Rooms in education was concretised in terms of foreign language teaching, explaining the possibilities offered by escape games in German language teaching. In the practical part of the thesis, an original escape game for German language teaching, Treasure in Vienna, was created. As the name indicates, the escape game is set in Vienna, so the pupils work with cultural background, foreign language and at the same time develop key competences. The escape game was developed on the basis of the theoretical part, taking into account all the important...

Sudová, Kristina ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Botlík Nuc, Tomáš (referee)
Abstrackt This Diploma thesis deals with the organizational forms of German language education at the 2nd level of three primary schools in Rokycany. After studying the professional literature, the German education as a second foreign language and the organizational forms of teaching (individual, collective, individualized, differentiated, team teaching and group work together with work in pairs) are characterized. After that these primary schools are described along with their school educations programs, textbooks, workbooks. There are presented protocols of sitting in on classes from the 120 German language lessons, that have been visited. Then these data are evaluated. The sitting in on classes show that at these primary schools are most commonly used forms of working in the plenum and frontal instriction - interpretation. At two schools, there was no group work in any teaching classes. A total of 209 pupils and 11 German language teachers completed questionnaires on organisational forms of teaching. Models of questionnaires are available in the appendices. The inquiry reveals that the majority of pupils are most attracted to working in pairs.

The occurrence of interference errors in the teaching of German as a foreign language caused by the influence of Czech as a mother language with a focus on the area of sentence structure of high school students
Nováková, Tereza ; Nečasová, Pavla (advisor) ; Botlík Nuc, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of interlingual interference between Czech and German. It focuses on the area of sentence structure, which can be very different in these languages. In addition to the most common errors made by students in this area of German language learning, the thesis also focuses on some selected didactic factors that contribute to the student's success and error rate. These include, for example, the use of methods, the work with the textbook and the teacher's general approach. One of the goals of the research was to map the most frequent mistakes made by Czech high school students in the area of sentence structure. It also focused on teachers' experience and approach to deal with interference errors during classes. The last part consisted of an analysis of a selected German language textbook used by students and teachers at a relevant language level. The results showed that students have the most difficulties with word order within subordinate clauses, especially with the conjunctions 'denn', 'weil' and 'wenn', and with the verbatim translations. Most teachers include work with the linguistic structures of the Czech language in their lessons. They mostly work with interference by pointing out the problematic phenomenon, explaining it and giving further examples. Only a few of...

The Influence of English on the German Language
LOCH, Daniel
The subject of the bachelor thesis is the occurrence of English language borrowings in contemporary German. In recent years, English has strongly influenced the lexical vocabulary of many languages, not excluding German. The task of this thesis is to find both similarities and differences in the process of adoption of anglicisms by the German language. Linguistic elements of English already fall into the lexicon of German speakers, and it is among the younger generation that they are exceedingly popular. The theoretical part will focus on the term anglicism, the history of anglicisms, their impact and penetration into the German language. Attention will also be paid to the formal adaptation of English loanwords in German and their place in contemporary communication. The practical part of this thesis aims to map the relationship of young people in particular to anglicisms. At the same time, it tries to find out what influence English borrowings have on German vocabulary.
