| Popis: | The paper deals with the use of a mobile application based on the principle of flashcards to support the teaching of English to primary school pupils. Using such an application while doing homework is a prerequisite for expanding pupils' vocabulary, improving pronunciation and storing words in long-term memory. The reason for using the mobile application is to make English language teaching more attractive, since in the Czech Republic there is a declining trend in the level of English language acquisition. Based on further described criteria, a mobile application working on the principles of flashcards was selected. The application was available to a group of pupils to facilitate their home preparation for their English lessons. The pupils' acquired knowledge was then tested and also their work with the application was monitored. Simultaneously, a feedback through a questionnaire survey was obtained from the pupils using this application. Besides the effect of flashcards on the level of vocabulary in the English language of a selected target group, the paper also deals with the potential use of flashcards as one of the possible tools of microlearning. |
