La importancia de enseñar fraseología en la clase de ELE es algo que se ha señalado en los últimos años dada su importancia para la adquisición de la competencia comunicativa y de otras competencias claves como la sociocultural. El propósito de este estudio es determinar, mediante una encuesta, cómo enseñan los profesores de ELE en Suecia la fraseología y su componente sociocultural y cuáles son los retos a los que se enfrentan los profesores de ELE en Suecia a la hora de introducir el lenguaje idiomático en el aula. En primer lugar, los resultados de este estudio indican que existe una metodología inespecífica y heterogénea y que los docentes no son totalmente conscientes de la importancia de la fraseología. En segundo lugar, existen una serie de retos a los que los docentes se deben enfrentar, fundamentalmente, la falta de material de consulta para la enseñanza de la fraseología y la falta de material didáctico y propuestas didácticas para los alumnos. Adicionalmente, el tratamiento que se le da a la fraseología tanto en el material didáctico como en los currículos es problemático. Otros escollos a los que se enfrenta el docente son el desconocimiento del tema, la terminología confusa o la falta de tiempo a la hora de planificar su enseñanza. Por lo tanto, el estatus de la fraseología en la clase de ELE en Suecia es bastante precario. Para empezar, es necesario que los currículos resuelvan el caos terminológico y aporten directrices claras acerca de qué unidades son adecuadas para cada nivel. En el caso del currículo sueco existe además un escollo adicional, la fraseología es mencionada de pasada y de forma muy imprecisa. Además, es necesario que los docentes dispongan de manuales, diccionarios y material específico y propuestas didácticas adecuadas para los alumnos. De este modo, la fraseología dejará de ser un tema desconocido y se comprenderá la importancia de su enseñanza y aprendizaje para la adquisición de la lengua meta. / The importance of teaching phraseology in the SFL class is something that has been pointed out in recent years given its importance for the acquisition of the communicative competence and other key competences such as the sociocultural. The purpose of this study is to determine, through a survey, how SFL teachers in Sweden teach phraseology and its sociocultural component and what are the challenges SFL teachers in Sweden face when introducing idiomatic language in the classroom. Firstly, the results of this study indicate that there is a non-specific and heterogeneous methodology and that teachers are not fully aware of the importance of phraseology. Secondly, there are a series of challenges that teachers must face, mainly the lack of reference material for teaching phraseology and the lack of didactic material and didactic proposals for students. Additionally, the treatment given to phraseology both in didactic material and in curricula is also problematic. Other pitfalls that the teacher faces are lack of knowledge on the subject, confusing terminology or lack of time when planning their teaching. Therefore, the status of phraseology in the SFL class in Sweden is quite precarious. To begin with, the curricula need to resolve the terminological chaos and provide clear guidelines about which units are appropriate for each level. In the case of the Swedish curriculum there is also an additional pitfall, phraseology is mentioned very briefly and in a very imprecise way. Moreover, it is necessary for teachers to have manuals, dictionaries and specific material and didactic proposals suitable for students. In this way, phraseology will stop being an unknown subject and the importance of its teaching and learning for the acquisition of the target language will be understood.

The present thesis tries to approach the issue of foreign language acquisition and foreign language didactics approaches. The main theme of the work is socio-cultural competence in teaching Czech for foreigners. It also states the issue in a broader context. Following is a detailed analysis of that term and its definition in a social frame of reference levels for Czech A1. The main part comprises of individually assessed five selected textbooks of Czech for foreigners. The analysis is carried out based on own criteria which have been determined in accordance with the required components of the socio-cultural competencies according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and J. Průcha methodologies. In the final part of the thesis is made mutual comparison of books with regard to the extent of helping to deepen and develop the student's knowledge in terms of socio-cultural competence.

The diploma thesis examines the influence of language teaching on the acquisition of socio- cultural competence through the medium of a questionnaire survey. Based on the interpretation of the data obtained, it provides information about respondents and their relationship to and opinions about the Czech Republic and its inhabitants. The statistical evaluation of this data provides an overview of the level of success in developing socio-cultural competence in selected socio-cultural areas. These are defined with reference to criteria specified at level A1 for Czech as a foreign language in relation to language teaching. The research element is based on theoretical hypotheses that we have presented in the theoretical section of the thesis. The aim of the thesis is to objectively map the development of selected socio-cultural competences by students in the context of language teaching.

Cette thèse porte sur l’étude de la notion de culture dans les manuels d’espagnol langue étrangère (ELE) actuels et sur la manière dont le contenu culturel va s’aborder, dans une époque où le Cadre Européen Commun de Référence pour les Langues (CECRL) et le Plan curricular del Instituto Cervantes (PCIC) ont tracé la structure des unités et ont établi les contenus nécessaires pour que l’étudiant puisse communiquer et se défendre dans cette langue. À partir d’une recherche sur la bibliographie existante sur la didactique de langues étrangères (LE) on développe une grille pour évaluer la présence du contenu culturel dans une période de temps marquée par l’influence d’un enseignement-apprentissage interculturel principalement axé sur la culture à fin de développer la compétence interculturelle des étudiants. C’est avec cette grille que nous avons pu quantifier le contenu culturel dans les manuels étudiés et que nous avons distingué les différentes habiletés mises en œuvre avec ce contenu-ci et que nous avons déterminé si celui-ci est abordé depuis une perspective interculturelle. Ensuite, nous avons mené une deuxième analyse avec l’objectif de vérifier la manière dont le contenu culturel est abordé dans chaque niveau étudié. Finalement, cette recherche présente une courte analyse des échantillons analysés pour vérifier l’évolution du stéréotype dans les manuels examinés et définir la notion de culture stéréotypée sur la société hispanique. Les résultats de notre analyse montrent qu’il existe un intérêt de la part des auteurs de manuels de ELE pour intégrer le contenu culturel. Cependant, l’analyse montre aussi que la présence de ce contenu culturel n’est pas encore très exhaustive dans les niveaux A1-B1 puisqu’elle n’est pas proposée dans une perspective interculturelle de façon continue. De plus, nous avons constaté que l’on développe quelques habilitées du langage qui priorisent l’interaction dans la salle de classe lorsque le contenu culturel est abordé, laissant de côté d’autres situations communicatives nécessaires pour renforcer l’apprentissage d’ELE. En même temps, cette recherche constate que l’utilisation du stéréotype a évolué et il ne sert plus à fortifier les croyances sur la société hispanique. Nous le trouvons dans un degré plus restreint dans les manuels et avec l’objectif de le rompre et de permettre ainsi que l’étudiant puisse redéfinir ses propres idées et préjugés par rapport à la culture hispanique. Cependant, ce travail de rupture du stéréotype nécessite de l’objectivité du professeur et d’une médiation constante entre tous les acteurs dans le processus d’apprentissage pour contraster les réalités et empêcher la fossilisation des topiques. Bref, nous constatons qu’il existe un déséquilibre au moment de comprendre et développer le contenu culturel dans les manuels d’ELE, ce qui indique le besoin de créer une grille structurée dans laquelle on puisse introduire la culture comme un fil conducteur dans l’apprentissage d’une langue. Cette recherche souligne le besoin de promouvoir un processus d’enseignement-apprentissage interculturel dans les manuels d’ELE. / This research paper focusses on the study of the notion of culture in current Spanish as it is presented in foreign language textbooks (ELE: Español Lengua Extranjera). It also examines how the cultural component is addressed at a time when the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the Plan curricular del Instituto Cervantes (PCIC) have outlined the unit structure and have refreshed the content requisites for a student to be able to communicate and operate in the foreign language. Based on a literature review of teaching methods for foreign languages a template has been developed to evaluate the presence of the cultural component over a period marked by an intercultural teaching and learning influence, where culture is the central area for the development of intercultural competence for students. Using the template, it has been possible to quantify the cultural component in the analysed textbooks, differentiating what skills are used and determining if it is analysed from an intercultural perspective. Then, a second analysis is undertaken to check how the cultural component is treated in each level of study. Finally, the paper presents a brief analysis of the samples run to check the evolution of the stereotype in the analysed textbooks and define the notion of stereotyped culture about the Hispanic world. The results of our analysis show that there is an interest from ELE textbook authors to integrate the cultural component into their language content. However, the analysis also shows that the presence of the cultural component is still not fully integrated in levels A1-B1, as it is not approached in a constant intercultural way. In addition, we found that there is a tendency to address the cultural component by using skills that foster interaction in class and undermine the importance of other communicative situations necessary to strengthen the learning of ELE. At the same time, the research finds that the use of stereotypes has evolved, as it does not reinforce stereotypical beliefs about the Hispanic world like in the past. Rather, stereotypes appear less often with students encouraged to challenge them, enabling the student to reconsider their own ideas and prejudices about Hispanic culture. However, this work of breaking stereotypes requires the teacher´s objectivity and constant mediation among several actors in the process of learning to compare the reality and avoid the fossilisation of these stereotypical topics. Nevertheless, we note that there is still a mismatch when the cultural component needs to be understood and developed for ELE textbooks. As a result, there is a need to create a structured template in which culture is presented as the main area to learn the language. This research paper emphasises the need to promote a process of intercultural teaching-learning in ELE textbooks.

Using Film Material in Teaching Czech as a Foreign Language to Present Czech Culture Abstract The aim of this thesis is to offer teachers of Czech as a second language information about the use of films to present Czech culture in B2 level. The theoretical part focuses on the definition of Czech culture by different authors, and the explanation of sociocultural and intercultural competence. Also, the approach of Weimann and Hosch towards teaching culture is defined, and the main components of communicative approach are introduced. Further, the use of films in language teaching is explored together with the specification of the reasons why films should be used in language teaching, advantages and disadvantages connected to it, and the methods of the film presentation are introduced. The practical part consists of two main parts. In the first part the available materials containing the use of films in teaching Czech as a second language are analysed, and the second part introduces an educational material based on the information found in the theoretical part of this thesis.
