Primary schools

The course is divided into five parts:

-The reading– two methods

a) analythic-syntethic method (má – ma)

b) global method (máma)

-The writting– teaching letters (words, sentences, texts)

-The grammar

•Morphology, lexicology, syntax, phonetics writing and reading

-The style – decription, narration, communication

-The literature – intentional literature (in the higher grades is added

the basic non-intentional literature)

Last years – bad results in literacy tests work with the texts

(questiones, describing…)

Secondary schools

The course is divided into three parts:

- Literature – czech, world (on grammar schools less known too)

- Grammar – revision (in this lessons we teach some linguistic issues)

Teaching – Czech Language

Practical Eventuality

• I would like to show some practical eventualities to diversify or revitalize, and

innovate the mother tongue teaching at primary school.

• In connection with the reform in the Czech educational system which is actual

in the last few years, there are several significant key moments.

• There is a connection with the fact, that the curriculum is not the main in

Czech school conditions. Curriculum as stone base,  curriculum as a tradition

which we must never forget, curriculum as a  subject from which everything

comes.

Ho we can to do?

Especially by facilitating the pupil teaching.

There is enormous power in teaching methods and organizational

forms.

There is a need for teachers in the modern school,  which already

we are talking about the reformed, to use so-called  activating

teaching methods.

Which are they?

Basic groups of activating teaching methods are:

discussion methods

situational methods

staging methods

educational games

projects

My Collage

Let's now to show one example of some types of activating teaching

methods.

For example, in Education and Communication Essay in the primary

school pupils learn to perceive and understand different linguistic

communication, and also to create them.

My Collage

The pupils task is to process information about themself, and ultimately to

present these information through some form.

Procedure:

On the board, or other visible place each pupil record one negative and

one positive human traits.

Picture

Each pupil chooses and writes the five properties that characterize

himself.

Each pupil traces the outline of his hand on the paper and fill in properties

of the fingers.

Between the fingers enter the pupil activities which he is like doing.

My Collage

If I was an animal, I would like to be ... because

If I was a color, I would like to be ... because ...

If I was another person, I would like to be.. Because

If I was a musical instrument, I would like to be ..., because ...

In another exercise, entitled my advertisement, the pupil has to write in connection with the preceding paragraphs advertisement about himself.

My Collage

Finally the presentation -visual and verbal is followed.

Didactical games

Focus: creativity, specifications

Rules:The pupils write their name. They think about individual letters of the name. On each letter students will create a character that characterizes the name holder.

Example:

SamS – seriousA – active

M - madcap

Didactical games

Make a world

Focus: creativity, vocabulary development

Rules:

The teacher will write ten letters on the black board. The pupils must

make the greatest number of words (only from this letters).

A C T I E P M O K R

Didactical games

Make a sentence

Focus: creativity, syntaxRules:The teacher will write ten words on the black board. The pupils must make the greatest number of sentences (only from this words).

hand, my, write, give, five, phone, look, school, yesterday, home

Summary

There are new organizational forms and teaching methods used in Czech schools.

Many of Czech language teachers included a number of educational games in their lessons.

Teachers have great amount of creative ideas which they do not use only as a motivational tool but it is an important educational tool for them as well.

Creativity and progress in the use interesting teaching methods in the mother tongue teaching do not mean only good motivation of pupils.

Activating  teaching methods can be used as methods of education.

Assessment

What is new and why?

• Evaluation is not only black/white.

• Evaluation can be a feedback.
