Pronunciation in the Textbooks of English and German for the Lower Secondary School Level

Abstract:

The presented diploma thesis aims at exploring the role of pronunciation in selected textbooks of English and German for the lower-secondary school level and the approaches and attitudes of Czech lower-secondary teachers and learners of English and German to pronunciation. The theoretical part presents a historical overview of pronunciation teaching, discusses its importance, specifies the major reasons for pronunciation neglect, and explores relevant curricular documents to assess the pronunciation role in them. Further, it describes three critical issues of pronunciation pedagogy: pronunciation goals, pronunciation models and priorities, together with effective pronunciation techniques. It also characterises the role of textbooks in the educational process.The practical part consists of three-section research. The first one analyses the role of pronunciation in selected English and German textbooks. The next one presents results from teacher questionnaires and the last one from the learner questionnaire on the subject of pronunciation. The final part includes some general recommendations that the author believes should be taken into consideration when using a textbook for foreign language teaching.
