Terra FM, Teacher Education Radio Austria, das Studierendenradio der Pädagogischen Hochschule Oberösterreich. Herzlich willkommen bei PHTV, Terra FM, dem Studierendenradio und Studierendenfernsehen der Pädagogischen Hochschule Oberösterreich, live aus dem Studio in der Huemerstraße. Wir werden diese Sendung heute wieder in englischer Sprache durchführen. Wir haben Gäste von der Charles-Universität Prag. Und ich habe hier Sarah, sie ist vom Art Department von der Charles-Universität Prag. Hallo Sarah, we switch to English and very welcome to the program. Hi, thank you very much for the welcome. Yeah, it's great you're here. You're here for a whole week. You're here with nine fellow students and three teachers. So we will see at least some of them later on in the program. And they gave you a very important task because actually here in Linz, I think not many people know about Charles University. So you have the chance and the task and the obligation actually to present your university a little bit to the Linz Dorfte Fallen Radio 4 audience. Hi, so I'm Sarah I'm from the Charles University the the Faculty of Pedagogy or teachers pedagogy and what can there be said we do bachelor's degrees we do master's degrees some of us are in the first year of master's degree including me and most of us actually are in the second year of master's degree so most of us actually do have some sort of double education going on I for example have English as a minor and arts as a major. But I know that others, for example, have music and Czech music and history. Most of the combinations are possible, actually. Major, minor is something in Austria is not so well known. So especially usually when we speak about the Hauptfach in German, that would be usually one of mathematics, German, English, kind of. I see. But with you, it obviously is the other way around. So you have kind of art education as the major and English as the minor? Yeah, yeah, yeah. With us, you can actually choose which, would you like to have as a major. Okay, so it can be both. Yeah, it offers many. Teacher, education, radio, arts and English for now. But in my bachelor's degree study, I've actually had English as my major as my helped part. Well, I can hear that. Your English is very good. But so you will be an English and an art teacher in the end. Yes. And you've been in Linz now since Tuesday. So you visited some schools, you saw some courses at the university. What's your impression? What's your first impression of, is there a big difference? Like have you been, you have been in, of course, you have been in the Czech school system as a student. Yes. Are there many differences or is it very similar? I must say that it is very different structurally. I don't know if like education wise, it's probably very similar. However, the structure is definitely different. Structure in what way? I mean we are a neighboring country. We are very close actually. different way of separating like primary and secondary education and it is a little different when it comes to the actual teaching in classrooms. We've seen very open and kind of free and kind of free like educative programs. With us, the usual way of educating children is by like teachers standing at the front of the class and the students listening in, hearing the others. Oh, and absolutely another thing that we've noticed as a group actually is that the schools that we have seen have usually two teachers in the classrooms and that is not usual for us. We have a teacher as they should be and then sometimes someone that helps around, helps the kids that have special needs and stuff. Yeah, that started here when we actually, when kind of special needs schools were basically not completely stopped, but mostly stopped and kind of an inclusion process that everybody kind of has the right to go to regular normal schools together. When that came, that was introduced, that system, before we didn't have that either. Oh yeah, that's the same for us. It is very much still a new concept, I would say. I'd say so too, also here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're still somewhat dealing with it. I feel like some teachers are still getting used to having kids that they have to sort of innovate for and I personally welcome it I think it's good for the other students to learn of the students as well that there are other people with other needs like that how you said that I have to remember that that teachers have children they have to innovate for. I like that. Yeah, because I think that's actually what we are here for as teachers, not that we kind of because otherwise you can put their robot there. Yeah, in some ways. But you also have something to show us, isn't it? Yeah, we've prepared as a group presentation, not just about the schooling system, but about Charles University and our departments as well. So you have that. Thanks to our technical team out there. Also, as usual, Daniel Dautowicz, Dietmar Enne and Paul Breit. And they have the presentation ready. So here we see already the presentation the students the presentation the students have prepared and sarah what you have to do now is you have to just to tell our guys out there when they should switch the slides right so this is the intro and i would welcome the second one please right so what you see now or would you what uh do listeners not see however i will disclose the content she's a pro sarah is a really a real pro i knew that from the beginning because i had forgotten we have to actually always explain for the radio listeners because they would not see the slides for the tv people now for the tv audience they see the slides but the radio audience doesn't so we have to explain that very good that you saw that thank you uh yeah i watch a lot of podcasts so when it comes to education system in czechia uh we have i would say a less uh less hard system less uh divided into small boxes system we have the preschooling system the primary education is actually from year three to six however only one year is mandatory and that has only been added since 2017 2018 so it's pretty recent however the nine years of primary education that follow that are have been pretty long standing i would say and the thing about this is that our primary schools are not divided into two as in Österg. They are, if the student wishes, they can usually continue nine years on the same, on the same school in the same class. I'd like to have that to be honest. That is fair. Yeah. It brings some good things, some bad things as our teachers have actually discussed with us before. Here you get the eight years of school and then you either go to the gymnasium or you do like one year to find your feet, to find a thing that you enjoy. However however with us if you are in primary school and you are basically made to repeat the the year you don't even have to get the primary education so that's been kind of a problem but i think there's are some changes coming soon i What I really like is that there's no change at 10. Because I think that's really, really early in Austria. When children, kind of many children, when they are 10, there's still very much children. And they have a big school change, which is for some very difficult. Yeah. So with us, actually the child can, or their parents at that point, can decide to change schools. Usually that is that they go into gymnasiums for eight years or later at age around 12, 11, 12, they go into six year program. 12, 11, 12, they go into six-year program. So you either go nine years primary education and then four years of gymnasium or 10, eight years program or 12, six-year programs. But it is much less complicated, I would say. Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. For the secondary education, that is counting in the four years of gymnasium and the latter part of the six years and the eight year programs as well. However, we've also got some different school and I would ask for the next slide to be brought up maybe. Thank you guys. Thank you, guys. Thank you very much. So grammar schools, or as you guys know them, gymnasiums, here you see the eight, six, and four years program. However, we've also got secondary technical schools and vocational schools and also industrial schools. I saw that. What does that mean? Because I have no idea. So after you go through an industrial school, you do not have matura or maturita as it is for us. However, you get a sort of diploma that you are suited for the job that you have learned. But what's the difference then to vocational? To vocational, well, usually from vocational you get the matura. Ah, okay, because here a vocational school would be what you call an industrial school. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the secondary technical school is pretty much the same, I would say. Except it is said to vary by, like, not hardness, but what do you call it? Difficulty. So grammar schools or gymnasiums are said to be the most difficult. Then you've got some lyseums, which are sort of a mix between secondary technicals and maturas and then there is the this myth that industrial schools and secondary vocational schools are not that hard i would say that it's not really the thing because obviously learning a job is still hard i mean here we have a little bit this problem that many parents think they kind of pushing their children into grammar schools into gymnasiums. Right. And often, it's just makes life very difficult for them. Yeah. And on the other hand, actually, many companies like the traditional thing like carpenters or painters or whatever, wouldn't urgently need actually apprentices and people to work in those fields and they are not badly paid at all. So here we have a little bit the problem of this belief of mostly parents actually. Do you have a similar problem? Yes, we do actually. We, as I said, the belief that some schools are less hard than others actually is some sort of a byproduct of parents not wanting to put their children into some sort of professional education as they believe that the child might either be smarter and they might find their way to it later in life or simply because they want them to have like a wide range to go off of however yeah same problem here especially in inner city schools yes actually yeah yeah uh yeah and please the next slide maybe Next slide, maybe? So the, no, slide before it. Thank you very much. So this, the, how you get to the secondary ed is actually through a series of exams. For the grammar schools, you've got the classical state sort of ordered exams. And however, some grammar schools or gymnasiums can also be for example sport gymnasiums and they include a self-ordained examination as well so that's sort of the blending point between professional schools, I would say. But yeah, when it comes to grammar schools, they are, that is, personally, it's a close topic to me because I've gone to the four-year program of the grammar school and finished with the maturita. But I'm sure that my friends who have studied professional schools or lit zones would like differ in some quality or difficulty and i see that actually every time does that exist i don't know you might not know but uh in austria like what i did i because of big personal problems in that age, I did not do the Matura. Oh, I see. I find it, by the way, funny that we have, I don't think many countries have the same name for it. It is interesting. I think it's us and you. I wonder if it's... Yeah. I found it... Germany is Abitur, Switzerland. Abitur, yeah. I think also. I found it, I think it might stem from the history. Yeah, probably from when we were together. Especially in those sort of institutions, I would say might stem from the history. Yeah, probably from when we were together. Especially in those sort of institutions, I would say, like gymnasium. Yeah. I think it's kind of tradition. Probably the same tradition, yeah. Yeah. But here there's also, what I could do is, actually I was already quite old then, yeah. I could do kind of exams, which got me into university without having Matura. Oh, I see. Yeah. It's called Studienberechtigungsprüfung. So you need to know what you want to study because the subjects you have to do vary what you want to study. So it depends. At that time, actually, it's not possible anymore now to leave out mathematics, but I could leave out the mathematics then. Because I was studying English and geography, and I just I needed to do five subjects but not mathematics which saved my life. So with our Maturita actually is there's this not rule but it's ordained that we do two state exams which the student has to go through the Czech state exam plus they can choose either as probably as you've had it when you were young either English like a different language or maths and personally from my experience most people choose English but I have studied on a humanic sort of humanic sort of directive school. So that might be the case as well. But then you've got three other subjects that you choose by yourself. So that might be another language or even maths. If you feel like you're too good for state maths, then you can do school maths. Ah, okay. So that's higher. It's said to be tougher, usually. Okay. Yeah. So, and with English education as well, or the English Matura state exam, it is actually placed on B1 level, which I think is different from Österreich. I think you have it on B2 level of supper. Yeah, but... But it's probably also easier from German to English than from Czech to English, I suppose. I don't know, actually. Language roots-wise, you don't think so? Maybe, maybe. Yeah, Germanic and... Yeah. Well, some people say that's a myth, actually. Some people say it's a myth. I suppose it depends on the person that's learning the language, really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But now there's been some changes in our plans for primary education and we've actually gotten some order by the ministry so that the students of English by the end of the primary school, by the end of the nine years of primary school should be at a B1 level. So far, from what we've seen on the primary schools, it will be hard but maybe doable in the future. schools it will be hard but maybe doable in the future but if we are going to go go off that by the level of great graduation the primary school graduation level of english if it's higher than probably the maturita levels will be higher too yeah heightened interesting and finally the tertiary education uh you have universities or you have higher tech schools yeah we call them bosch as in bosch oh yeah okay like the company like the tech company no no no it's a shortened short term but uh okay yeah uh the university is currently we uh on our use in the university we offer bachelor's or master's degrees uh charles university as a whole has other departments departments as well of course where you can come out as a doctor for example uh but on our faculty as well you can continue on and you can get your doctorate as well it's a big university do you know how many students altogether or i can ask you your teachers as well who come afterwards that'll be a big number that'll be a big number well i can ask your teachers yeah yeah please do they might not know, but it is over in thousands. We'll find out otherwise. Yeah. So, the bachelor degrees are finished. I've spoken to some students over here and we are usually finishing the bachelor's degree through one bachelor's thesis. And then we've got the state exams that are dictated by our faculties, the departments that we are moving on into. And then during the master's, we've got a master's thesis and then three exams that are set by the university, three state exams for me as a double major, double student. and for the higher tech schools I would say that that's usually three years as well but it is usually some art schools maybe some tech schools as well and they have a more focused kind of not just approach sometimes they have a very different approach to students as well but I think they also have a different way of finishing their degrees. Good Sarah I think we have to come to the switch because there are several students already waiting out there to come in as well well thank you very much for being here you did a great job and was it the first time on TV yes actually good yeah it's good to start you become a famous artist maybe so yeah thank you Sarah we play a little bit I think it's Czech music actually what we will play and then we will have the next team in here yeah I. ¶¶ © transcript Emily Beynon ¶¶ © transcript Emily Beynon ¶¶ ¶¶ Vielen Dank. Wir haben jetzt gewechselt. Wir haben zwei neue Studierende hier. Wir wechseln auch die Sprache wieder auf Englisch. classical music on phdbtrfm as far as i remember it was i think it was smithena was it uh the moldau yes very very beautiful piece i think i got that right uh you are also studying at charles university in prague and michaela what uh what is your kind of focus area yeah uh my focus area is area? Yeah, my focus area is music teaching and conducting like singing choir and I like children choir like the most. Very nice. And Jana, maybe you have to switch the microphone. I study music education and history education. Okay, so we have two musicians here. Yes. Of course, we had to play Smetana then. Yeah, yeah. And I think you also kind of have prepared something for us, what you want to tell us kind of. Shall we right away go into that or? Yes. Who wants to start? I will start. Yeah, okay. I just want to introduce our Charles University. Yeah, we have on presentation building named Carolinum and there take place really important events like graduation or concerts and it is the oldest building of whole university. So I just want to introduce it and I will give you microphone. die älteste Gebäude der ganzen Universität. Ich möchte es nur vorstellen und ich werde dir das Mikrofon geben. Ich möchte nur anmerken, dass wir einen Wechsel haben. Wir haben einen Wechsel jetzt, also kommt ein weiterer Student. Ja, okay, Michaela, danke dir so viel, dass du hier bist. Es war sehr, sehr kurz. Was ist das für eine sehr, sehr kurze Aufmerksamkeit im Programm, aber es war schön, dich zu haben. very very short what's the kind of very very short attendance in the program but nice nice having you shall we wait for the colleague or you just go on no she will have the next slide okay perfect yeah i will say something about history of university and how is it today? So the Charles University is the oldest university in Central Europe and it's named after I thought it's a very traditional university. It was founded in 1348 by 1348? Yes, in the 14th century. That's early. By Bohemian king and Holerman emperor Charles IV from Luxembourg dynasty, a very famous Czech king, I think. And originally, university had four faculties, but today exist 17 faculties in three cities. Many of faculties are in Prague, but some faculties are also in Hradec Králové or Plzeň. On university study more than 52,000 students. That's what I wanted to know before already. 52,000. Yeah. Yes. There are many international students on Erasmus. And according to international rankings, it would be the best university in Czech Republic. We used to have students, Erasmus students to Charles University and they all liked it. Everybody came back excited. Yes. And next slide, we'll have my schoolmate, Clara. Okay, so we switch again? Yes. Well, Jana, thank you so much. Don't leave me alone. I hope Clara, is it Clara? Yes. Clara will come, yeah? So we wait for Clara. So Clara will just go on with this slide. Yes. What do we see? Ah, we see the different faculties. Okay. Yes. Yes, of course. Yeah, we take it easy. Yeah. Hello, Clara. You can sit there or whatever. You can stay or go or whatever. She is still sleeping. Okay. Yeah. We are still sleeping. Okay. Yeah, yeah. sit there or whatever you can stay or go or whatever okay yeah okay yeah yeah yeah clara is it's clara yeah hello clara good to have you here yeah you're also a student at charles university yeah also music department yeah and history also so music history as well okay so we have here probably the faculties is is that correct? Yeah, this is the slide of our faculties. So we have 17 faculties like Jana said already. We have three theology faculties, Catholic, Evangelical and Hussite. What was the last one? Hussite. Hussit. Hussit. That's our historical... Religion. Yeah, religion. Gosh, I heard about it, of course, but it's still like there are people still practicing and also like priests and stuff. I haven't known that. That's very interesting. You see, I learn a lot through this program as well yeah yeah so uh we have free theology faculties and then we have a lot of faculty of law a faculty of philosophy uh of course faculty of education our faculty and then we have a faculty of physical education and sports and then we have we had some students there they they loved yeah and we have six faculty of medicine we have three six yeah three in Prague and other three, one is in Pilsen and two is in Königgrätz. Königgrätz. Königgrätz. I know that from history. You are a history teacher. I don't want to get it wrong. There was a battle. Is it true? Yeah. The Schlacht von Königgrätz. I remember that from school. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. So we have six medicine schools and three in Prague are like the same one, but in different places. And there are just different programs. Yeah. And then we have two faculties of social sciences one is social sciences and the other one is humanities studies yeah and the last one we have two science faculties mathematics mathematics and physics. And I suppose teacher training is education, the others do not teacher training, just proficiency. Of some faculties, they have also education programs. And we have a very connection between the faculties like at our faculty someone can study one subject in our faculty and one subject at mathematics faculty so it's really connected together and lots of people go like to the philosophy faculty for studying history and then they can teach it also too but they have just some course but you in the end when you graduate you will be a history and music teacher yeah for secondary schools and high schools and high schools. And high schools. So high school would be kind of middle school? Yeah, it's like from 15 to 19 years old. And secondary school? From 11, 4, 10, 11 to 15. Oh, okay. Yeah. A very special question to you, Clara, because we have to ask that. We might have some students listening, watching. Yeah. Okay. So how's student life in Prague? For the ones who might think of going there as an Erasmus student. I think my colleagues will be talking about it soon, but student life... Oh, so we have that on the plan. Yeah, yeah. I think so. student life we have that on the yeah yeah i think so uh but just a quick uh it's really kind to erasmus student and we love them to have in prague because um it's a really small country czech republic so everybody who knows something about it we really liked it so yeah good yeah Clara well thank you so much yeah for being my guest today and thank you for the presentation part you did we have some more some other students yeah kind of waiting and maybe I think we have a little piece of music again in between is that correct yes Ano. Tak to bylo zbabělé, když jsem na svý cestě nezdvihl tvůj drahokam. A od té doby od čerta k dňáblu se po té cestě potloukám. Lásko, jediná lásko Každý ráno, když si vzpomenu Vzpomenu si na to, jak měl jsem tě rád A nevzal si tě za ženu Každý ráno budu se proklínat. Já bůh, já blázen, kdo postaví mé nohy na zem.

THRFM Teacher Education Radio Austria Das Studierendenradio der Pädagogischen Hochschule Oberösterreich PHTV, THRFM, live aus dem Studio in der Huemerstraße, das Studierendenfernsehen und Studierendenradio der Pädagogischen Hochschule Oberösterreich. Und heute haben wir Studierende aus Prag zu Gast. Deshalb findet die Sendung in englischer Sprache statt und wir haben wieder die Michaela. Michaela ist zurück und Jana ist anders. Hallo, willkommen wieder Michaela und neu Jana. Wir gehen weiter. Ich denke, wir sprechen ein bisschen über eure eigene Universität, die Charles-Universität Prag. presenting or talking a little bit about your home university, Charles University Prague. We would like to introduce some famous people who study here or teach here. So maybe we can go to presentation. Back to the presentation, my technical team. Yeah. Let me guess. Okay, okay. I know the one on the top right. Okay, okay. I know the one on the top right. Well, that's quite famous. Einstein really studied. No, no, no. Studied, no. Taught. Yeah. He teaching. He taught. Einstein taught. Oh, gosh. Yeah, yeah. Another one, you can guess. I try, I try. I think I saw the face of the top left, but I'm not totally sure. Is the one on the bottom left, is it Franz Kafka? Yes, yes. Ah, yeah. Okay. Yes, Franz Kafka, it was a Jewish writer from Prague he wrote in German and he lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th century his famous books are the Metamorphosis the Trial and the Castle next one everybody who goes to school in Austria at least to secondary school has to kind of come across Kafka yeah we have still some more guys, can we go back? yeah, maybe I can talk about the rest of them yeah, who is that? I think I know him but I'm not totally sure our first Czechoslovakia president Tomáš Garik Masaryk ah ok progressive political activist and philosopher educator yeah in the middle Jana can say about Jan Hus in the middle yes Jan Hus in the meantime. Yes. Jan Hus was historical Czech theologian, one of the first church reformator and inspiration of Hussitism. Next one is... Just a question. Does one of you have this religion because I'd be interested what's the difference actually I don't know do you know yeah we are not so religious we do but do you know the differences like to Catholicism, for instance? I'm not religious, neither. So just out of interest. I think Houthisism is more free in some things, but maybe some historical ladies can talk more about it. We ask others about it. We are musicians more. Sorry, ladies. But it's more. Sorry, sorry ladies. But it's okay. So it's music. What is your second subject? Conducting. Conducting. Ah, yeah. Okay. And maybe let's talk about the last man. On the right side, Charles I, last emperor of Austro-Hungarian. I know that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So these people are really famous and they have connection to Charles University and we wanted to introduce them. Impressive. And after us will go some other students and they will talk more about study programs and more good, well thank you Jana, thank you Michaela, will you come back or we will come with music students to say something about music education see you again Michaela good, maybe some music in between when we switch a short piece or no music Tvou cestou, tím směrem, prý bych se dávno měl dát Když sněží, jde to stěží, ale sněhy pak tají. Kus sněhy tě zanech, ty slíbí a tají. Víc síly se prát, na dně víc dávat, než brát. A i když se vleče a je schůdná jen v kleče, Donutí přestat se zbytečně ptát, jestli se blížím k cíli, kolik zbývá víry, kam zvou z podidla, co po tmě milžou. Zdat soubám zpátky a plít vám řádky, co řvou, že už mi doma neotevřou. Na lusknutí prstů se začít hned smát. Mít svůj chodník slávy a před sebou davy. A přes skroucená záda být součástí stáda. Ale zpívat a hrát, kotníky líbat a stát. Na křídlech všech slavíků a vlastně už za zvyku. Přestat se zbytečně ptát, jestli se blížím k cíli. Kolik zbývá víry, kam zvou z vvoditla co potmě milšou, stacou vám zpátky a plít vám zátky, co zvou, že už mi doma nehotře vzou. Ich bin dummer, ne und das schon. Terra FM, PHTV und wahrscheinlich ist es heute ein Rekord. Ich glaube, wir hatten noch nie so viele Studiogäste in einer Sendung. Wir hatten noch nie so viele Studiogäste in einem Programm. Wir haben wirklich Stress, um sie alle zu befinden. Wir haben Jitka und Lenka. Willkommen beim Programm mit Jitka und Lenka. Was Jitka and Lenka. Welcome to the program with Jitka and Lenka. So what will you tell us today? We are going to tell you something about our faculty, pedagogical faculty and our study programs and life in our faculty. Well, go on then. We can be, yes, thank you for the presentation. So our faculty has several study programs which are divided into teachers program and non-teachers program. You can see, for example, in teachers program, we have pre-primary, pedagogy, primary school, and then you can have combination of subjects for secondary and high school. For example, we have Czech and social studies combination. And then there are non teachers program like psychology special education speech therapy and school management at our faculty we study three years to achieve a major degree and then two more for a master degree except the primary school because they are studying five years continually, they don't have a bachelor degree in the middle. So, there's a difference. And I think it's enough about the study programs. We can skip to another slide, please. Next slide, please. The technical department. Thank you. And now you can look on our programs well we have to actually say it because we have the radio people and the radio people don't see the slide so when you want to become a teacher on secondary and our high school you can study for example czech english french a lot of languages and you can study also art, history, biology, chemistry, mathematics, health education, music, instrument, playing, physical education. It's a lot of programs you can choose. I see this choral singing as an extra. Yeah, we have it like an extra program. So you can study, for example, choral singing. It's not included in the music? No, no, no. It's a special thing. That's interesting. That's special. And when you want to become a teacher, you have to choose from these programs. So, for example, as Lenka said, we have Czech language and social studies. Not all from this you can combine, but we cooperate with another faculty. So, for example, by us you can study geography, but you can study it on different faculties. And then by us you can study history. That's all from us. Is anybody speaking about student life? Because student life is really important. We don't play music because there's not much time left no really uh the next slide yes are you staying yes oh great i'm sorry i didn't i didn't want to throw you out i'm actually i'm losing control here with so many girls around me i'm really as an old man i'm losing control no that's fine um yeah we wanted to tell you a little bit wonderful yeah Oh, you're going into student life. Wonderful. Our faculty is strongly supported. That's you there, isn't it? Yes, exactly. So we have a lot of events and student organization. We organize by ourselves some events. For example, the event on the first picture is like a mix of music, education, and so many other activities. It's held on our faculty, and there are classes with famous or interesting people. There are activities like silent disco, and I don't know, so many others. Karaoke. As a media guy, I'm a little bit interested because you are actually, you have a lot of technical stuff on you. Yes, it's the music part. There is like stage and a little concert. So I think it's really cool for us to organize it. And in the second picture, it's, I think, class with our minister of education. So it's interesting. Down there. Yes, yes, yes. Not the guy in the middle here. Oh, it's in the middle. No, I mean the one of the right picture. The guy in the middle. No, no, no. That's not our minister. It's our mascot. Our faculty mascot. Ah, the faculty mascot. What is it actually? It's owl. An owl. Ah, okay. Yeah, for the radio listeners, we see an owl here.? It's owl. An owl. Okay. Yeah. For the radio listeners, we see an owl here. A very nice owl. Thank you. Next slide, please. And we have a lot of activities on faculty. For example, when we have exams or examinations, you can relieve from stress because we have bubble folia or something like this. It's just you can pop it and you are okay. Sounds good. Maybe. And you can color on the wall so we coloring pictures it's really nice and we make it like swaps for example swaps from clothes or books and when when it's Christmas time we are doing we celebrating it's together because we have some little bit fields or something like a little bit place there's a text on top for spolu, protože máme nějaké trochu věci nebo něco jako trochu místo. Je tam text na topu, pro lidi, kteří to nevidí na radio. Je tam text na topu, co to říká? Oh, je to trochu těžké. Já bych chtěl slyšet trochu ček. Nadmírné užití bublinkové folie může způsobovat dlouhodobé uvolnění a pocity extáze. Takže to znamená, když popíš bublinkovou foliu,ůže spůsobovat dlouhodobé uvolnění a pocity extáze. So it means when you pop the bubble, you will be in something like extasion or something like this. And now I understand the bubble as a stress release thing. Now I understand. I want something like that at home. Yeah. You can. We have it on the floor, so it's really nice when you are going on a hard exam i will stay there the whole day you have to came during the exams ah it's only during the exams yeah but it's nice to think about something like that yeah we should we should actually we should take that as well yeah and that's it for us it's wonderful so do we have that's all now there is going Sarah and she will talk I guess about departments we don't play music just to save time here thank you very much Jitka thank you very much Jenka Lenka ah gosh when I will I was so good with names but I'm getting old hello Sarah I was so good with names, but I'm getting old. Hello, Sarah. I know her. Were you here already during the program? No, I was not. I remember you from outside. Okay, Sarah. Sarah, and we have... I'm Matheus. Nice to meet you. A man in here, and he's Matheus. What are you studying, Matheus? I'm studying sports, nice to meet you. And also a man in here, and he's Matias. What are you studying, Matias? I'm studying sports, especially physical education. Wow, you look like that. Thank you, I appreciate that. And social studies. So I'm going to talk a bit about the life on our university because it's kind of different, kind of different opposite of the other faculties that we have. In the teacher education? Yeah, in the teacher education and in the student communities and the buildings that we have. Because you might suspect that we have centralized system with all the faculties together in the city center in Prague and every other accepted student on PE would say the same. However, when you arrive to the first year of your study, you discover that we have the faculty in the smaller town, like 40 minutes from Prague. 40 minutes from Prague. That's kind of a downside. However, you can turn it to the upside because you spend more time with your classmates. The journey becomes something to look up to and something to enjoy. And that's the little steps to making a big whole family. So you have to commute. Yeah, actually. By train or? By bus or if you please very nicely one of your friends who has a car, we can go by car as well. Sarah, what are you studying? I'm studying art and actually it's at the Department of Art Education. And the most important part about my studies is actually the art creation. And I'm also studying English to be an English teacher. Oh, wonderful. So I have a double major, which is great because you have the comparison of... Like the other Sarah. Of course, yes. Ah, yeah, okay. We're colleagues. Ah, yeah. Because you have the comparison of the two faculties, and you can take the best of both worlds. Ah, yeah, that's interesting. Is there anything from the presentation you still want to show us or is the presentation done? No, no, no. I think we're good without it. We're good with it. Okay, just you. It's wonderful anyway. Yeah, we still have five minutes to go. What else would you like to tell us about your university or about your experience here in Linz? Because you've been here in Linz since Tuesday. We actually originally had planned to bring your teachers in as well but I think we leave them out because there's no time for your teachers anymore. They might be happy about that. I don't know. Yeah so you've been here since Tuesday, you've been to schools, you've had I think two, you visited two courses or three courses at our university. What's your impression? Is it very different? Are there many things new? Oh, there are actually quite a lot of things that are new because Czech Republic as a state is very public as a state is very homogenous in its population. We don't get many people coming into our country wanting to stay and actually not knowing the language. So that's very different. We've observed that both of the schools that we've so far visited had more than 90% of people from other countries with other mother tongues. And that was very interesting to see how the teachers are so capable in the classes to make the best out of it and to give the best education to all of those people, even though they don't speak their mother tongue and they perhaps don't know their culture, if they're beginning teachers. We have to send the program to the teachers. They'd love to hear that. I mean, that's of course an inner city thing mostly. It depends strongly to the area in Austria. So cities tend to have more migration population and it also depends a little bit where you are in the city. So there are certain regions in the cities where there is more migrant population and some areas where there is less migrant population. What I like, at least what I saw in the schools you visited, I get a little bit the feeling they're trying to make a strength out of it. And they should. Yeah, because many people complain, but I also think it's actually a strength to have diversity variety and it also beautifully um incorporates the students into the worldwide like society that we have now because we are always taught in the czech republic you've got to include multicultural education you've got to prepare the students for other communities for other cultures for other languages for things that are different from their own native culture but it's very difficult because we are all mostly Czechs and I feel that having that for the students for the pupils in here must be extremely beneficial for their future lives because we are in the globalized world and i think the problems we have now we can only solve them together we cannot solve them as individual countries we cannot solve them as individuals we can only solve them together which means we have to work together and we probably can better work together when we meet. But unfortunately not everybody sees it that way. But I hope more and more people in the end will grasp this idea. It doesn't look like that just now, but as I'm tendentially, is that correct? Tendentially kind of an optimist. So I always, I have this feeling never give up yeah i think i think this is this can be a real a reality exactly because what of what you said we need to work together and if the kids learn in in the school that they have to actually work together to be able to complete the program to be able to complete their work to be able to complete their exercises they will be completely used to working together in their daily lives after they finish the school yeah maybe that's a nice actually we ended positive final sentence for this for this wonderful show thank you so much our guests from charles university and the next Terra FM broadcast will be in the Easter holidays and it will be well we announced that I forgot okay thank you very much for watching and listening and see you again in two weeks goodbye Jak kámen tíží andělský střílny A na nás batečekají, hledají cíl Hned na první moment zaměří střílí Hroty svý střílí Untertitelung des ZDF für funk, 2017
