This volume is a collection of 21 academic papers selected from the ninth biennial Teaching and Learning Corpora conference that was held at Masaryk University in the summer of 2010. The papers were selected through a double blind reviewing process by the academic committee of the conference. The book deals with a variety of uses of language corpora in foreign or second language teaching and learning, and is divided into four parts. Sections 1 and 2 look at corpora as input, first exploring general issues of how they can inform language teaching, and second describing how this can be put into practice and evaluating concrete uses of corpora with learners. Sections 3 and 4 look at learner corpora as output: this includes comparison with native-speaker corpora to identify ‘errors’ or areas of difficulty, but also shows what learners can and do know at different levels of proficiency, and what this tells us about the learning process.

Building on theory and research, this book aims to share good practices and innovative ideas which have been successfully applied in the area of videoconferencing in language teaching and learning in the context of higher education. It offers practical ideas and methodologies, advantages and challenges of new approaches, and the what, how and why of individual cases so that readers can apply them in their own contexts. It intends to help language teachers and teacher trainers develop skills and confidence and to inspire them to reflect on their own teaching practices. It also offers insights on the impact of videoconferencing practices on learners and learning processes.

Burgeoning interest in the role of working memory (WM) in most cognitive endeavors has led to an increase in WM training programs. Within the field second language (L2) writing, however, WM improvement interventions are scarce, and even scarcer is research into how other variables interact WM in their effect on performance. Hence, this study examines how anxiety, often believed to be a significant impediment for both WM and writing, moderates the effect of WM training on writing. Learners’ (N=80) writing performance was assessed before and after Dual N-back WM training. Writing anxiety levels were examined for any potential interaction with the intervention. Results from ANCOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and Two-Way ANOVA have revealed two things. First, writing anxiety is significantly correlated with writing performance. Second, the treatment group outperformed the control group even after controlling for both initial performance and anxiety levels. The findings indicate that there is a significant anxiety-treatment interaction effect on writing performance. Implications are discussed.

The book serves as a collection of articles concerning different approaches to the notion of ‘place’ in terms of contrastive studies. Out of eight articles, the first four concentrate on the place of conceptualization in languages. Next two contributions discuss the notion of ‘place’ from a more literal point of view, concentrating on the role of case and prepositional systems in the expression of place as well as on the concept of place from the pragmatic point of view, as discursive representation of places in Polish and American cultures is analysed. The third part of the book contains two articles focusing on language contact. Each of the above-mentioned contributions provides an inspiring approach to contrastive studies and further research.

The publication deals with current topic of development of communicative competence in oral interaction in lessons of English as a foreign language taught with an interactive whiteboard. It aims to find out if and how the oral interaction in a target language is influenced while an interactive board is being used. The research instrument was qualitative structured observation carried out in basic schools in the Czech Republic which lead to analysis of the observation records. The key finding resulting from 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 book describes the pronunciation of Dutch from the perspective of Czech speakers. It classifies Dutch as a Germanic language, explains its European varieties, and compares the sounds of Dutch and Czech.

An important section is a treatise on the articulatory bases of both languages, which explains the use of speech organs and how they move, based on a comparison of vowel frequencies.

This publication presents an empirical research of pronunciation mistakes of Czech students learning German as a second foreign language at elementary school. The aim of the research was to verify the extent of the students’ pronunciation difficulties with German pronunciation phenomena error-prone for Czech native speakers. The research determined in what way these errors manifest themselves in the transfer from the students’ previously acquired languages, i.e. their mother tongue (Czech) and the first foreign language learnt (English). Within the theoretical foundation, the focus is put on different concepts of pronunciation in terms of foreign language teaching objectives, definitions of language errors and their causes, the development of the German pronunciation standard and methodological approaches to error analysis.

The book introduces the case study of instruction as a means of cultivating (field)didactic thinking. In the first part, case studies are introduced as a research tool in clinical fields. Particular attention is devoted to case studies of instruction and their role in transdisciplinary research in didactics. The transdidactic approach that makes use of the 3A procedure is also introduced. The second part of the book presents 25 case studies of instruction that have been developer by various teams that consisted of researchers and teachers. The book is an extension of the book Transdisciplinární didaktika: o učitelském sdílení znalostí a zvyšování kvality výuky napříč obory by J. Slavík, T. Janík, P. Najvar a P. Knecht.

Literature is one of the oldest sources of phraseology. In the Polish phraseological resource, and not only in Polish, but there are also expressive associations of writer's provenance, the roots of which date back to antiquity. Importantly, this source is still alive and open, as evidenced by new constructions of this type entering the social circulation. Connections formed under the influence of various literary texts represent a sparsely investigated aspect of the Polish phraseological stratum. So far, there has been no elaboration showing the richness of the discussed phraseologies and explaining their literary origin. The presented collection, containing a total of 140 units of language, fills this gap in Polish lexicography. The book delineates the connections documented within both general and specialized dictionaries, as well as elucidates relationships newly incorporated into this lexicon, such as "plume dance," "waiting for Godot," "Dantean scenes," "heart of darkness," "Kafkaesque situation," "rabbit relatives and friends," "to rejuvenate hearts," "lion's share," "small apocalypse," "Mrożek would not have invented it," "order of souls," "lonely white sail," "skin and bones," "shadow streak," "The Three Brothers Budrys," and "call of blood". In native linguistics, there lacks a distinct designation for fixed constructions with a literary lineage. Consequently, the author introduces the term "literatureism" and its classifications: "lexical literature" and "phraseological literature." The main purpose of the publication is to present the meanings and etymology of the indicated fragment of phraseology. Studying the literary origins of currently operative expressions appears crucial, as the rationale behind many of them becomes increasingly obscure to users of the Polish language. Consequently, there exists a risk of their eventual obsolescence.
