Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to connect student´s theoretical knowledge from the years of previous bachelor study (phonetics, stylistics etc.) with knowledge from previous semester (text linguistics, didactics of language). Subject should help student to apply his theoretical knowledge successfully in complex analyses of didactically adequate text. We turn our attention to selecting of language tools, formulation of tasks and questions, expected results, types of potential mistakes and their correcting in cooperation with a pupil.
Student is aware of the function of linguistic analysis in the czech language teaching on the particular grades and types of schools. He is able to choose text which offers suitable linguistic features from all linguistic levels with reasonable demands. He can formulate tasks in different ways, anticipate any errors, respond to them and in collaboration with students find what went wrong, how to eliminate it and how to prevent it.
