Course objectives
This course aims to improve especially the reading and writing skills of students with an intermediate knowledge of English. It also aims to consolidate and reaffirm the language learned during previous courses and at the same time introduce new vocabulary.
Syllabus (in Czech)
  • Kurz obsahuje 6 témat. Studenti pracují samostatně na různých aktivitách během semestru. Součástí je trénink porozumění psaných textů, rozšiřování slovní zásoby a upevňování znalostí gramatiky. V diskusních fórech předmětu pak studenti procvičují svůj písemný projev a získávají na něj zpětnou vazbu od vyučujících. Fóra také poskytují prostor k diskusi s ostatními studenty.
Teaching methods
The entire class takes place online. We will work on different kinds of texts, videos and complementary vocabulary and grammar exercises and you’ll be expected to contribute to our discussion fora and submit written assignments.
Assessment methods
There’s no final test. Completion of the course is based upon regular completion of weekly assignments during the semester. You can leave out max. 1 topic. REQUIREMENTS Two weeks are spent on each topic covered in the course. You'll find several revision exercises and a feedback form in the last topic. The last topic is planned to be completed in one week only.
