| Description | The presented dissertation thesis deals with oral interaction and communication in lessons of English as a foreign language taught with an interactive whiteboard. The aim of the research was to find out if teachers create opportunities for learners to interact orally and if they induce communication situations in lessons of English. It aims to find out if and how the oral interaction in a target language and its practice are influenced while an interactive board is being used. The research focused on related areas – patterns of interaction which were applied by the teachers in the observed lessons, types of activities the interactive board was used for, technical operations performed on it by teachers and learners. The research instrument was qualitative structured observation carried out in chosen basic schools in the Czech Republic which lead to analysis of the observation records. The results were consequently confronted with the findings of some foreign and Czech research studies. The aim of the quantitative part of the research was analysis of exercises in printed and digital versions of textbooks Way to Win which was to reveal the ratio of language, precommunicative and communicative exercises and change of this ratio in individual parts of the series. One of the most important findings resulting form the observations is that teachers who do not apply the principles of communication approach use an interactive board in a very traditional way and modern technologies do not contribute to the change of their teaching style. The research results were critically evaluated and possible solutions as well as possibilities of further research were suggested. |
