Teaching Mathematics using the CLIL method for lower secondary pupils

This diploma thesis deals with CLIL which stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning, to be more precise it deals with the integration of Mathematics and English for lower secondary pupils. To realize this method I have chosen the topics of congruent figures in the plane and reflective symmetry. The aim of my thesis was to check whether the chosen topics are suitable for CLIL lessons, whether CLIL method is not an obstacle for the activity of pupils in the lesson or if it does not create any problems with understanding of the subject matter in Mathematics. The theoretical part is focused on describing the CLIL method in general, then I summarize the preparation of the educational experiment and describe the project of the lessons in English and in Czech language. The last part is dedicated to the realization of the experiment with three different groups of pupils of the 6th grade of elementary school. The gained data have been processed on the basis of observation and analysis of the final individual work and the questionnaire. The results of observation and analysis confirm that it is possible to integrate the teaching of Mathematics and foreign language successfully. The thesis includes English and Czech worksheets together with methodology for the topics of congruent figures and..
