Para tanto, foram selecionados para participar do estudo quatro alunos do Ensino Médio, falantes do dialeto, cujo currículo inclui aulas de Língua Alemã na escola. Durante um período de quatro meses, eles escreveram diários de estudos, narrativas autobiográficas, participaram de uma entrevista semi-estruturada com a pesquisadora, e realizaram a prova de proficiência Deutsches Sprachdiplom II. Os dados desses alunos demonstraram que o conhecimento prévio do dialeto facilitou a aprendizagem do alemão padrão, principalmente, em três modalidades: produção oral, compreensão auditiva e compreensão textual. Outros aspectos considerados como vantagens dos falantes bilíngües em relação aos monolíngües, a saber, maior consciência metalingüística, alternância de código sensível ao contexto e ao interlocutor, médias superiores em diferentes tipos de testes, també / This study seeks to investigate to what extent previous knowledge of spoken German dialect in the area where the research was conducted fosters or hinders students from learning the standard language. Four high school students, speakers of German dialect, whose curriculum includes German classes, were selected to participate in this project. During four months, they wrote study journals and autobiographies. They also participated in a semi-structured interview led by the researcher and in the Deutsches Sprachdiplom II proficiency test. The data suggest that previous knowledge of the dialect fosters learning the standard language, mainly, concerning three aspects, namely, oral and listening skills and text comprehension. Other aspects regarded as advantages of bilingual speakers over monolingual speakers were also evidenced, such as, higher metalinguistic consciousness, code switching sensitive to context and to the interlocutor and higher grades in different kinds of tests. In addiction to analyzing the data

Title of the master's thesis: Augmented reality (AR) and its possibilities of use in education: Evaluation of the contribution of AR for teaching vocabulary in German based on a comparison of classical and experimental learning methods Abstract: This master's thesis focuses on the use of augmented reality (AR) in the context of education. AR currently represents a dynamically evolving technology. The aim was to explore the benefits of using AR for foreign language teaching, to compare the possibilities of didactic application with the traditional way of teaching and to find out whether learning with AR is a motivating factor stimulating students' interest and a tool for better understanding and memorizing through visualization and acting on emotions. The theoretical part of the work presented the characteristics of augmented reality, its types and areas of use and compared it with virtual and mixed reality. It briefly mentioned the history of AR, the advantages and negative aspects of the use of this method, the current state of research in language didactics and cases of the use of AR in education in the Czech Republic and abroad. In the practical part, a web interface was created using the Model Viewer tool, which allows users to view 3D objects in augmented reality. Then, quantitative research was...
