Messages delivered by the media are often used as a source of authentic texts in language teaching, yet there is not a sufficient amount of works dealing with the connection between media education and language teaching. The theoretical part of this thesis, therefore, tries to describe this relationship from the perspective of media studies, linguistics and language teaching methodology. The aim of this work is to create teaching materials incorporating media education into teaching English as a foreign language. The materials consist of worksheets for students and methodological support for teachers. Key words media education, language teaching, authentic text, context, curricular documents, teaching materials, worksheets, methodological support

The theoretic principals are based on the referential management of educational systems and the perspective of distance education systems. A qualitative methodology was utilized for this research, with the support of the enunciation theory of language and the method of self observation. The pedagogical management system was created based on the idea of collaborative work and anchors itself on the triad formation, materials production and research and evaluation. In the analysis of the distance education system it became clear that the main difficulties for the implementation of undergraduate courses are: the history of distance education in the institution, the culture of presence, the somewhat inflexible model of institutional organizations, the way by which financing is decentralized and administrated, the public and bureaucracy politics. In the organization of the teams there is the perception that the pedagogical management reproduces in part the presential model referring to the partnership between the centers of teacher formation. The study illustrates that the formation of the teams constitutes a privileged space for minimizing the prejudice against this modality of learning, promoting the integration between members, rethinking the didactic pedagogical action and providing reception to team members. Research and evaluation are pointed out as decisive conditions for the university s participation in distance education, aiding the partnership between centers. It has been made evident that the collective construction of work demands time and openness by part of teams for new constructions to arise. It is possible to conclude that, even with the tensions and troubles lived in this proposal of pedagogical management, the integrated work of formation, material productions and research and evaluation contribute to a more organic performance in distance education, breaking the fordist paradigms found normally in the experiments with this modality of learning / O presente estudo propõe-se a analisar um sistema de gestão pedagógica desenvolvido em uma instituição pública de ensino superior durante a implantação dos primeiros cursos de licenciatura a distância. Os pressupostos teóricos embasam-se no referencial da gestão dos sistemas educacionais e na perspectiva dos sistemas de educação a distância. A metodologia de pesquisa adotada para a análise é a pesquisa qualitativa, com suporte da teoria enunciativa da linguagem e o método da auto-observação. O sistema de gestão pedagógica foi construído a partir da ideia de trabalho colaborativo e ancora-se na tríade formação, produção de materiais e pesquisa e avaliação. Na análise sobre o sistema de EaD, ficou evidenciado que as principais dificuldades para a implantação de cursos de graduação a distância são: a história da EaD na instituição, a cultura do presencial, o modelo pouco flexível de organização institucional, o modo como os financiamentos são descentralizados e administrados, as políticas públicas e a burocracia. Na organização das equipes, há a percepção de que a gestão pedagógica reproduz em parte o modelo vivenciado no presencial no que se refere à parceria entre os centros formadores de professores. O estudo mostra que formação das equipes constitui um espaço privilegiado para minimizar os preconceitos contra a modalidade, promover a troca de experiências entre os pares, repensar as ações didáticas pedagógicas e proporcionar acolhimento aos integrantes das equipes. A pesquisa e a avaliação são apontadas como uma das condições determinantes para a atuação da universidade na EaD, auxiliando na parceria colaborativa entre os centros. Evidenciou-se que a construção coletiva do trabalho demanda tempo e abertura por parte das equipes para construção do novo. É possível concluir que, não obstante as tensões e desencontros vivenciados nesta proposta de gestão pedagógica, o trabalho integrado de formação, produção de materiais e de pesquisa e avaliação contribui para uma atuação mais orgânica na educação a distância, quebrando os paradigmas fordistas encontrados nas experiências com esta modalidade de ensino

Considerato, in generale, l’impatto sempre più massiccio e pervasivo che le tecnologie hanno sulla vita di tutti i giorni e partendo dal presupposto del valore aggiunto derivante dall’impiego delle tecnologie per l’educazione linguistica, in questo lavoro dapprima abbiamo fatto alcune considerazioni in merito a tecnologie e apprendimento/insegnamento linguistico, soffermandoci su Internet e sui media digitali (Capitolo 1), quindi abbiamo selezionato, analizzato e organizzato, in forma di repertorio, diverse risorse online, gratuite, per l’apprendimento/insegnamento del russo (Capitolo 7). L’idea di realizzare un repertorio dei siti Internet e delle risorse è nata dall’intento di creare uno strumento utile, sia ai discenti, sia ai docenti. In particolare, nella prima parte di questo studio abbiamo proposto l’uso di alcune risorse online per presentare l’alfabeto russo (Capitolo 2) e per lo sviluppo della competenza fonologica (Capitolo 3), lessicale (Capitolo 4), morfosintattica (Capitolo 5) e testuale (Capitolo 6). Nella seconda parte, invece, una volta analizzate le caratteristiche di alcune modalità di apprendimento, in presenza, a distanza e in rete (FaD, e-learning, blended learning, didattica 2.0) e delineati i nuovi scenari di apprendimento, tra formale e informale (Capitolo 8), abbiamo realizzato due proposte didattiche, una in ambito universitario (Capitolo 9) e una in ambito scolastico (Capitolo 10), che prevedono sia esperienze di apprendimento collaborativo in rete, sia l’utilizzo di tecnologie e risorse online. / The influence of technologies on everyday life, as it emerges clearly, is increasingly pervasive. Assuming that the use of technologies adds a certain value to language education, in this dissertation we first considered some connections between technologies and learning and teaching languages, in particular dwelling upon Internet and media education (Chapter 1). Then we selected and analysed several websites and free online resources dealing with the Russian language. The result of this work is the inventory of websites and online resources, which we conceived as a useful tool for students and teachers of Russian as a foreign language (Chapter 7). In detail, in the first part of this research work we suggested some online resources to teach absolute beginners the Russian alphabet (Chapter 2) and to develop different competences and skills: phonological (Chapter 3), lexical (Chapter 4), morphological and syntactical (Chapter 5), and textual (Chapter 6). Whereas, in the second part, we dealt with the main characteristics of various types of learning (face-to-face, distance and online learning, blended learning, formal and informal learning etc.) (Chapter 8). In addition we developed two different proposals, the first for University level (Chapter 9), the second conceived for the school classroom (Chapter 10). Our proposals are based on both experiences of collaborative learning and on the use of technologies and online resources.

Cette recherche vise à analyser et à interpréter les modes de construction, de diffusion et d’appropriation des sens et significations des instruments de langages médiatiques au sujet des campagnes présidentielles de 2007, 2012 et 2017 par les journaux de la presse française. Notre problématique peut s’exprimer par les deux questions suivantes : en quoi les outilslangagiers, iconiques et plastiques des couvertures de journaux constituent-ils des instruments techniques visant le choix présidentiel dans la période de 2007 et 2012 en France ? En quoi les outils de langage des médias jouent un rôle d’instruments techniques et psychologiques dans les représentations et l’appropriation des messages médiatiques par des étudiant-e-s en Sciences de l’Education au cours de la campagne présidentielle de 2017 ? Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé, comparé et interprété le réseau de relations entre les modes de construction et de diffusion des outils de langage utilisés par les journaux pour présenter des campagnes présidentielles au cours de deux périodes historiques. Une étude complémentaire nous a permisd’analyser et d’interpréter les représentations et l’appropriation des messages médiatiques par des étudiant-e-s en Sciences de l’éducation pendant la campagne présidentielle de 2017. Au plan théorique, nous nous sommes appuyée sur la théorie historico-culturelle de Vygotski (1985), la notion d’artefact de Rabardel (1995), les théories en éducation aux médias, la notion de cadre de Goffman (1991), la théorie de l’acteur-réseau de Latour (2007). Au plan méthodologique, nous avons opté pour une démarche quali-quantitative en utilisant, en particumier, les logiciels CHIC, Tropes et Iramuteq, une méthode d’analyse de contenu (Bardin, 1993) et de discours (Maingueneau, 2014) des outils de langage des couvertures de journaux. Nous avons adopté une approche méthodologique croisée intégrant la méthode d’analyse statistique implicative, une approche psycho-socio-sémiolinguistique etpragmatique. Le corpus a été constitué de 239 éditions de journaux, 293 images des unes des journaux français (20 Minutes, Métro, Lyon Plus, Le Figaro, Le Monde, et Le Progrès) et 15 entretiens réalisés auprès d’étudiant-e-s en Sciences de l’Education. Les résultats montrent que les outils de langage médiatique constituent des instruments techniques via la mise en place de différents procédés, de cadres naturels et sociaux de conceptualisation, via la mise en évidence d’une diversité de visées (pathémiques, persuasives, de faire agir, cognitives) et la nature des styles discursifs (statif, déclaratif, narratif, argumentatif). Les schèmes heuristiques et pragmatiques sont davantage sollicités en 2007 que les schèmes épistémiques dont la mise en visibilité a été renforcée en 2012. L’examen des instruments destinés à la diffusion des savoirs médiatiques non formels et informels au sujet des campagnes présidentielles montre des indices que la pensée se construit et évolue en fonction d’un contexte socio-historique donné avec des formes d’actualisation, de nouveauté et de redondance. La prise en compte d’une dimension sociale, symbolique, privée, consciente, inconsciente est intégrée à l’appropriation des instruments médiatiques mais aussi aux pratiques d’étudiants dans la formation de leurs décisions. L’analyse et l’interprétation de l’appropriation des messages médiatiques par les étudiant-e-s démontrent que la consultation et l’appropriation de ceux-ci remplissent un besoindavantage cognitif, conatif que comportemental. / The aim of this research is to analyze and interpret form of construction, providing and appropriation of senses and meanings of mediatic languages tools about presidential campaigns of 2007, 2012 and 2017 through the french newspapers. Firstly, we wanted to know how can linguistic, iconic and plastic tools of the first page of newspapers can be considered like technictools with the aim of the presidential choice during the period 2007 and 2012. Secondly, we wanted to find out how media language tools can contribute to be psychological and technic through the representations and appropriation of mediatic messages by students in Education Science during the presidential campaign 2017? On the one hand, we have planned to analyze, compare and interpret network relation between construction and providing of tools language used by the newspapers to present presidential campaigns during two historic periods. On the other hand, a complementary study has allowed us to analyse and interpret the representations and appropriation of mediatic messages by students in Education Science. On the theoretical aspect; we based our research on historical-cultural theory of Vygotski (1985), the concept of artefact (Rabardel, 1995), media education theories, concept of frame (Goffman, 1995), the network-actor theory (2007). On the methodological aspect, we have chosen a qualiquantitative method (with the softwares CHIC, Tropes, Iramuteq), a content (Bardin, 1993) anddiscourse (Maingueneau, 2014) analysis methods of language tools of first page of newspapers. We opted for a cross-cultural approach including statistical implicative analysis, a psychosocio-semio-linguistic, semiological and pragmatic approaches. The corpus have been made up of 239 newspapers editions, 293 pictures of the first coverture of french newspapers (20 Minutes, Métro, Lyon Plus, Le Figaro, Le Monde, et Le Progrès) and 15 interviews collected from students in Education Science. The results show that media language tools can be established as technical tools through the introduction of different mechanisms, natural and social frames of conceptualization, through a hightlighting types of discourse (stative, declarative, narrative and argumentative). Heuristics and pragmatics schemes are mainly requested in 2007 than epistemics schemes which have been reinforced in 2012. The analysis of tools made for the spread of formal and informal mediatic kwnowledges or news aboutpresidential campaigns show that the thought is built and it is developed depending on sociohistorical context with form of actualisation, novelty, and redundancy. The taking into account of social, symbolic, private, conscious, onconscious dimension is involved to the mediatic tools appropriation but also with the practices of students in the construction of their decisions. Theanalysis and the interpretation of the apropriation of mediatic messages by the students in Education Science demonstrate that the consultation and the appropriation of this fulfill more a cognitive, conative than behavioural needs.

The central theme of the diploma thesis is incorporation of media education at the first stage of primary school. The theoretical part of the thesis briefly defines the basic concepts related to media education, offers an insight into historcal background and gradual integration of media education into the Czech educational system and, last but not least, introduces current state of this cross-curricular topic at Czech schools. The practical part is devoted to a research survey aimed at finding out which didactic topics of media education are mostly reflected in educational materials intended for the first stage of primary school and at the same time at ascertaining how the pupils are mostly involved in media education in terms of task assignments contained in teaching materials. The results of the research show that the most frequently reflected topics of media education that appear in educational materials are advertising, its regulation and influence and characteristics and function of traditional media. In case of the method of pupils involvement in media education, the research findings show that pupils are mostly called upon to receptive activities. To obtain the results of the research survey, qualitative content analysis of selected teaching materials was used.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to map the importance of media education in general education and also to find out the way how pupils of the 2nd stage of elementary school and pupils of lower grade of multi-years grammar schools reflect the media education and at the same time to find out its benefit and usage in their real life. The theoretical part describes the basic knowledge that are connected with the theme of this work. The greatest emphasis is placed on the concept of media education in the Czech educational system. The practical part is focus on the results of the research which was made with the mentioned pupils. With the use of the interview with these pupils should be find out what is their opinion on the media education. Through their answers the author of this diploma thesis will try to outline if there is any difference in concept of media education between pupils of the elementary school and pupils of lower grade of multi-year grammar school. At the end of this work the author gives some suggestions for improvement and diversification of teaching media education that reacts on results found out in the research.

The overall purpose of this licentiate thesis is to explore how different media is considered and valued by teachers in an interdisciplinary project in which the subjects of Art and Swedish are included. In the project, The Horror Genre in Literature and Film, a variety of mediations are represented: speech, writing, still- and moving images. The study focuses on the teaching strategies and approaches that participating teachers have in relation to the project's various mediations. My central concern is how the media of moving images is considered in the project. Of particular interest for my study is the question if teachers takes into account the media's special possibilities and limitations in their teaching. The theoretical framework is sociocultural theory, narrative theory and theories from the field of media and multimodality. The study was conducted in a Swedish primary school where three classes in 8th grade participated. The empirical material consists of interviews with three teachers in the subject Swedish and with one Art teacher. Also part of the empirical material, are the films produced by the pupils in the project. These films were analysed with the purpose of identifying to what degree the pupils used a narrative that is particular to the medium of moving image. The project in my study was carried out as an interdisciplinary project. Nonetheless, the results show that the teachers in the various subjects work toward the goals set in their own school subjects and that no common goals or overall objectives were formulated in the project. My study also shows that the mediations that are rewarded and have a superior role in the project are the spoken and the written word. The media of moving images has a marginalised place in the project and is regarded as less important. The main result of my study shows the problems that may arise when different forms of mediation co-exist in project-based learning within a school context. It also points out the difficulties that interdisciplinary projects have to face in terms of national regulations, frame factors such as the distribution of lesson hours, resources, as well as other factors that can affect the possibility of cooperation between the subjects.

Theory of Frames and its Educational Possibilities Jan Huleja Czech Language Departement PhDr. Ladislav Janovec, Ph.D. Abstract The dissertation Theory of Frames and its Educational Possibilities consists of a theoretical, practical and didactic chapter. The theme of the first chapter is the Theory of Frames that includes a variety of concepts and theoretical views across different humanities and social disciplines that discuss how individuals, groups and societies perceive and organize reality and how they communicate about it. In the next part of the dissertation the application Frames of Ostrava in the Czech Linguistic Picture of the World demonstrates the potential of the Theory of Frames for cultural-linguistic and discourse analyzes. It analyses an extensive and representative sample of Czech language material (text, system and empirical language data) and attempts to reconstruct the Czech linguistic picture of Ostrava. We are focusing on what frames the picture of Ostrava is composed of, i. e. how it is predominantly portrayed by the users of the Czech language, how they narrate about it. At the same time our aim is to present Ostrava as a significant Czech cultural and social phenomenon evoked by such lexical units and structured by such conceptual means that are unmistakably "Ostravian" in the text...
