ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPLEMENTING PHRASEOLOGISMS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE CURRICULUM
Abstract
The aims of a contemporary curriculum of a foreign language, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, are directed towards communication, i. e. the development of general competences, above all, communicative competence. The necessity to be able to communicate with speakers of a foreign language without greater difficulties and that the command of language does not extend to certain linguistic areas alone is more and more common. For a successful everyday conversation, among other things, it is important to be familiar with phraseological units of a language. The question that arises in this thesis is – to what extent foreign language teachers are aware of the importance of implementing phraseologisms in a foreign language curriculum. The technique used in the research was surveying and the instrument of analysis was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, as a method of quantitative data analysis, was used for the survey after which description of the result followed. The aim of the research, using descriptive statistics as a method, is making general conclusions about teachers’ attitudes towards certain statements as well as determination of the accuracy of our assumptions, with focus on the implementation of phraseologisms in a foreign language curriculum. It would be interesting for further research to analyze the correlation between the answers received in elementary i. e. secondary education, length of employment of teachers and foreign language he or she teaches. We believe that this thesis could be a starting point for further analysis of this topic.
