New graduations from foreign languages

This diploma paper deals with the state graduation exam in German with a focus on its development. At first this issue is depictured on the theoretical level where I describe the genesis of the state graduation exam in the Czech Republic and its comparison with the state graduation exam in Germany, concretely in Saxony. Furthermore there is also mentioned the educational problems and problems with the preparation of the teachers for the new graduation model. In this part I also describe the European reference framework for languages. In the second, practical part of my diploma paper there is a questionnaire both for the German teachers at high schools and for the students who decided to sit for the leaving examination in German. Both these questionnaires are related to their opinion on the forthcoming state graduation exam
