Abstract/Notes: The Ontario Human Rights Commission's inquiry into how reading (an essential human right) is taught in Ontario schools revealed that Ontario’s public education system is “failing students...by not using evidence-based approaches to teach them to read.” This thesis aimed to address this failure by proposing Montessori language curriculum as a viable alternative to the current (ineffective) practices. The validity of both the new Ontario language curriculum and the Montessori language curriculum were assessed through the use of The Reading League’s Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines (CEG) and their associated workbook. The Ontario language curriculum was found to be lacking, particularly in terms of its lack of clarity, and guidance with regards to practical implementation. The Montessori language curriculum on the other hand was found to meet or surpass the Ontario Human Rights Commission’s recommendations, and in a way that can tangibly be understood and implemented. In light of these findings, Ontario school boards should seriously consider adopting Montessori language curriculum, in whole or in part, to address the systemic reading crisis. All educational stakeholders have a role to play in safeguarding children’s right to read.

Abstract/Notes: The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to deal with a different approach to the teaching and learning of the English language at lower secondary schools by the Montessori Method. The theoretical part investigates the process of learning a foreign language, second language acquisition and introduces the basic principles of Montessori education that can be applied to teaching and learning any foreign language. In addition to this, a brief insight into how such a lesson should be conducted is introduced. The pragmatic component of the thesis focuses on the response of the target question of what the real Montessori lessons look like in reality, and how the Montessori principles are upheld. To conduct the qualitative research and apply the method of case studies, thirty observations in two lower secondary schools and interviews with two teachers were conducted. The observations and interviews took place at the Montessori lower secondary schools Polabiny in Pardubice and Gajdošova in Brno. To confirm the validity of the research, the school curriculum documents were evaluated. The observation demonstrates that the learning and teaching of the English language, using the Montessori system, becomes a challenging option for Montessori teachers. / Cílem této Bakalářské práce je celkový náhled na výuku anglického jazyka na druhém stupni základních škol typu Montessori. Teoretická část se obecně zabývá výukou cizího jazyka, procesem učení cizího jazyka a představí principy Marie Montessori aplikovatelné na výuku jakéhokoliv jazyka. Také krátce představíme jak by měla skutečná Montessori výuka vypadat. Praktická část práce si klade za hlavní cíl odpověď na otázku jak probíhá výuka anglického jazyka dle Marie Montessori ve skutečnosti a jak jsou dodržovány principy Marie Montessori. Metoda případové studie kvalitativního výzkumu byla podpořena třiceti hodinami observací a dvěma rozhovory s učiteli anglického jazyka. Observace se uskutečnily na základních školách Polabiny v Pardubicích, na Gajdošově v Brně. K umocnění výsledku práce jsou hodnoceny vzdělávací dokumenty zkoumaných škol. Observace ukazuje, že výuka anglického jazyka Montessori Metodou je pro vyučujícího náročným úkolem.
