The paper focuses on the possibilities of using selected methods and procedures of the Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking programme in teaching individuals with a different mother tongue. Most of them develop reading literacy understood as the ability to understand, reflect on and use written text to achieve certain goals, i.e. to develop one's own skills and knowledge and to actively participate in society. The essence of the paper consists of examples of practical use of selected methods of critical thinking in tea- ching Czech as a second/foreign language, which serve to motivate and develop writing and speaking.

The paper presents the results of the analysis of verb valency in non-native Czech on the basis of the learner corpus MERLIN. In order to confirm the hypothesis based on previous studies on valency in non-native Czech, i.e. that non-native speakers overuse prototypical patterns and central meanings of verbs, the use of verbs and their valency frames were examined in 148 texts at CEFR levels A2, B1, and B2. The research based on 3350 occurrences of verbs leads to the conclusion that the number of valency patterns and expressed meanings indeed does not significantly increase with higher level of proficiency.

V příspěvku jsou prezentovány výsledky výzkumu, jenž je zaměřen na realizaci rázu ve čteném projevu mluvčích-cizinců, kteří studují češtinu jako cizí jazyk. Ráz slouží v češtině primárně jako delimitační signál a je Čechy zpravidla přirozeně realizován před vokály na začátku slova po pauze či na začátku slovního základu po prefixu. Cílem zde prezentované analýzy je zjistit, zda u cizinců obecně dochází k redukci rázu, jaký typ odchylek u nich lze detekovat a ve kterých slovech / slovních kombinacích chybují nejčastěji. Dílčím cílem studie je upozornit na nutnost zařadit ráz do výuky výslovnosti v rámci češtiny pro cizince již od úrovně A1. Klíčová...

The present study focuses on the acoustic analysis of spoken Czech of Francophone speak- ers and focuses on the realization of vowels (which were measured and evaluated using the Praat program). The background material for the analysis were audio-recordings of loud Czech reading by 50 students studying Czech with French as a mother tongue. The analysis shows that the realization of Czech vowels is influenced by negative transfer from the native language, which decreases with higher language level.

The integration of language skills as an integral part of the everyday communication is reflected in modern methods of teaching second language. However, many high-stakes language exams still assess language skills separately. To reflect modern trends, an integrated listening-to-writing task was included in the end-of-course exams of Czech at the Institute of Language and Preparatory Studies, Charles University in Prague. Passing this exam and getting a certificate of language proficiency allow students to apply for Czech public universities and study in Czech. In this paper the content, construct and decision to include integrated task in the exam...

In addition to the theoretical study of the language, students of Czech studies in Vienna can also develop their practical knowledge of Czech by communicating with native speak- ers from the Czech minority. Students with different language backgrounds meet in the same class during their studies. We asked ourselves whether previous knowledge of the Slavic language is an advantage or disadvantage. We pointed out the typical manifestations of interference from German to Czech and showed what errors it causes and on which language levels.

The article describes in theoretical terms the aims, forms and Principles of the CLIL (abbreviation of Content and Language Integrated Learning) teaching method, which consists in integrated teaching of a foreign language together with the content of a non-language subject in language education. It explains how the method contributes to the development of communicative and intercultural competences in foreign students and helps to increase the rate of immersion in education. In the practical part, it presents an example of the application of an interactive educational lesson in teaching Czech lan- guage to foreign language students of Bohemia. The...

The paper presents the results of the research which explores the diachronic development of possessive adjectives in Old and Middle Czech. The research deals primarily with possessive adjectives formed from feminine nouns (constituent type matčin) and is mainly focused on the morphological aspects. On the basis of the excerpted material, the author observes the cases in which possessive adjectives of the type matčin have been preserved and also pays attention to the competition of the nominal and composite (adjectival) forms in each case. The possessive adjectives are shortly commented at the syntactic level as well.
