Abstract

Priče i narativi vitalni su dio ljudskog iskustva odrastanja. Kako čitatelj odrasta iz djeteta u odraslu osobu, pronalazi sve više i više sličnosti među strukturama radnji, tipovima likova, motivima i obrascima u raznim pričama s kojima se susreće. Glavni je cilj diplomskog rada pod naslovom „Fantastični motivi u nastavi: Analiza fantastičnih motiva u kombiniranoj nastavi engleskog i njemačkog jezika na temelju Tolkienovog Hobita i Hoffmannovih Pustolovina u novogodišnjoj noći“ iznijeti teoriju da se čitateljeva inherentna sposobnost prepoznavanja motiva može razviti u vještinu analize književnosti, što u konačnici može dovesti do povećanog intrinzičnog interesa za motive i, posredno, povećati interes čitatelja za fikciju na ciljnom jeziku, što dovodi do sveukupnog poboljšanje čitateljevog napretka u usvajanju ciljnog jezika i jezičnih vještina.

Teorijski je okvir teze izgrađen oko teorije arhetipova koju je razvio Carl Gustav Jung, teorije fantastične književnosti i njezinih podžanrova koju je razvio Tzvetan Todorov i definicije magijskog realizma Amaryll Beatrice Chanady.

Praktična primjena teorije koja potvrđuje tvrdnju teze ilustrirana je prijedlogom međujezičnog projekta koji se sastoji od četiri 45-minutna školska sata. Prijedlozi nastavnih sati razvijeni su za ciljnu skupinu učenika u Hrvatskoj, u devetoj godini učenja stranog jezika, odnosno srednjoškolskog uzrasta. Projekt se kroz nastavu učenicima predstavlja kao međujezični projekt knjižene analize dvaju djela. Sudionici projekta uče engleski i/ili njemački kao strani jezik. Kao književna su osnova projekta odabrana djela Hobit J. R. R. Tolkiena i Pustolovine u novogodišnjoj noći E. T. A. Hoffmanna, zato što predstavljaju dobru književnu osnovu za izvođenje Todorovljeve teorije i, s obzirom na to da se radi o još uvijek popularnim autorima i djelima među mlađom publikom zaokupljaju pozornost učenika. Projekt je podijeljen u četiri 45-minutne cjeline koje pokrivaju uvod u književnoteorijski pojam motiva, osnove teorije fantastične književnosti i magijskog realizma, analizu dvaju tekstova i praktičnu primjenu stečenog znanja, u obliku grupnog rada i samostalnih prezentacija.

Glavni je cilj predstavljenog projekta razvoj vještina književne analize u učenika, a posebno vještina prepoznavanja i analize motiva u fantastičnoj književnosti i drugim medijima koji prenose fantastične narative, kao i motiviranje učenika da sami dalje proučavaju temu, stvarajući intrinzičan izvor motivacije za daljnju interakciju s književnošću, kao i za daljnje usvajanje ciljnog jezika.

Abstract (english)

Stories and narratives are a vital part of the human experience of growing up. As the reader progresses from child to adult, they find more and more similarities between story arcs, character types, motifs and patterns in various stories. The main goal of the master thesis titled “Fantasy Motifs in Education: An Analysis of Fantasy Motifs in the Combined Teaching of English and German as Foreign Languages, Based on Tolkien's The Hobbit and Hoffmann's A New Year's Eve Adventure" is to prove that the reader's inherent ability to recognize motifs can be developed into a skill of literature analysis, which can ultimately lead to an increased intrinsic interest in motifs and, by proxy, the consumption of more second-language-fiction, which leads to an overall improvement of the reader's second language acquisition progress and language skills.

The theoretic framework this thesis is built around is the theory of archetypes developed by Carl Gustav Jung, the theory of fantastic literature and its subgenres developed by Tzvetan Todorov, as well as the definition of magical realism by Amaryll Beatrice Chanady.

The practical application of the theory confirming the thesis statement is illustrated through an outline of an interlingual project, consisting of four 45-minute units, developed for students in Croatia, in their ninth year of second language acquisition, and introduced to the students as an interlingal literature analysis project. Participants of the project study English and/or German as their second language. As the literary basis of the project, The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien and A New Year's Eve Adventure by E. T. A. Hoffmann are chosen, as they present a good literary basis to exemplify the conclusions of Todorov's theory and, considering that they are still relatable and popular among younger audiences, capture the students’ attention. The project is divided into four 45-minute-units which cover the introduction to the term “motif” as well as the basics of the theory of fantastic literature and magical realism, the analysis of the two texts and a practical application of the acquired knowledge in the form of group work and standalone presentations.

The main objective of the project is the development of the students' literary analysis skills, specifically that of recognizing and analyzing motifs in fantastic literature and other media conveying fantastic narratives, as well as motivating the students to study the topic further on their own, creating an intrinsic source of motivation for further interaction with literature, as well as further second language acquisition.
