The diploma thesis deals with the issue of phonological abilities of children with dyslalia in preschool age. The main goal of the thesis lies therefore in the analysis of the phonological abilities of the stated target group. Based on the main goal, partial objectives and research questions were defined. A method of qualitative research strategy - a case study was used to fulfil the objectives of the thesis. To gather the data, test methods and analysis of the available documents were used. To create a comprehensive picture of the monitored children, the methods mentioned above were supplemented with an interview with a clinical speech therapist. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical part and the empirical part. The theoretical part consists of three chapters. The first chapter deals with the definition of key terms such as communication, communication skills, as well as the development of speech, language and communication. In this chapter, attention is paid also to a preschool child. The second chapter describes the issue of phonological abilities, which are presented in the context of the phonetic- phonological language level. The last chapter looks into the issue of dyslalia. The empirical part is then devoted to the description of the whole process of the research survey....

Sammandrag Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur lärare på högstadiet diagnosticerar L2-elevers språknivå i svenska (SvA) och lärarnas metodik för att vidareutveckla elevernas språkkunskaper. Upp­gifter från lärare samlas in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med 3 lärare från 3 skolor. Teorier som används i den här studien är det sociokulturella perspektivet, Piagets teori om barns kog­ni­ti­va utveckling och det metakognitiva stadiet. Därefter analyseras materialet i en tematisk innehållsanalys, där resultatet delas in i två teman som svarar mot studiens två forskningsfrågor: Hur diagnosticerar lärarna SvA-elevernas språknivå vid övergången till högstadiet och hur hjälper lärarna eleverna till ett bättre språk? Resultatet visar på både likheter och skillnader i metoderna för att diagnosticera L2-elevernas språknivå. Alla använder ett slags textanalys, medan en av de tre lärarna även förlitar sig på information från de lärare som eleverna har haft tidigare. Alla tre lärarna använder Gibbons cirkelmodell. Formativ bedömning används som hjälpmedel, men hur det används beskrivs inte närmare. Ett annat resultat är att modersmålet är betydelsefullt i L2-inlärning, dock förekommer det inte i praktiken eftersom modersmålslärare inte är tillgängliga, vilket de tre lärarna ställer sig kritiska till.   Nyckelord: Svenska som andraspråk, L2-elever, språkkunskaper, språknivå, språkutveckling   Keywords: Swedish as a second language, L2-pupils, language knowledge, language level, language development   English title: Teachers’ work in Swedish as a second language. A study of how teachers study and develop pupils’ language skills

(in English): This thesis deals with the issues of teaching listening in Czech as a foreign language. It is based on studying theoretic sources, structured observing and the comparison of didactic materials, on questionnaires and informal interviews. In its theoretical part, it brings a brief overview of present knowledge in this field, using predominantly foreign sources that deal with teaching English as a foreign language. The second part enables the comparison of various didactic materials from the points of view acquired in the previous chapter, and it also provides an overview of the typology of listening tasks, including their evaluation. The last chapter designs some new sample materials based on what has been found out about their imperfections in this field so far, and it also mentions some suitable resources for designing the new listening tasks. The merit of this thesis on the theoretical level consists of making the main results of contemporary Anglo-American science accessible for the Czech auditory, on the practical level it lies in presenting an overall list of listening tasks and showing (in the Czech materials) some so far unknown possibilities of teaching the listening comprehension, these alternatives being accompanied with practical examples.

This dissertation concentrates on the development of writing skills in learners of Czech as a foreign/second language at A2-B2 levels. It aims to determine whether creative writing has positive influence on linguistic and discursive competence in acquiring Czech, as opposed to classic approaches. For these purposes, a probe was conducted in form of a one-semester qualitative action research. The sample consisted of 30 non-native University respondents. They were divided into two experimental and two control groups - with upmost regard to their comparability in terms of language levels, socio-linguistic parameters, the genres and topics assigned, as well as the number of lessons taught. In experimental groups, the writing skills was developed by the method of creative writing while the control groups were taught by means of traditional approach. After the semester, in case of experimental group I and control group I (at levels B1/B2), comparable increase in competences took place, therefore it can be concluded that the creative writing method may influence the development of the writing skills positively. In case of experimental group II and control group II (at levels A2/B1), the results are ambiguous. Nevertheless, the experimental groups̕ respondents had higher sureness in drafting.
