Course objectives
Foreign Language I-a (JIZ) Language I is the foreign language in which the student has reached the school-leaving examination level (students can choose English, German or French). In the first stage of this four-semester course, students will be introduced to the LSP language in common economic and business contexts, which represents enhancing their general and business vocabulary (by approximately 500 new lexical units), activation of grammatical structures typical for technical language and application of principles of business correspondence, respecting specific features of various languages. The stress is put not only on the development of communication skills, exploration of the mechanism of the language, but also on studying the culture of appropriate countries where the language is spoken. In the second semester the course provides an opportunity to master further topics and skills typical for a more complex communication, and to apply them to professional activities typical of the business environment, such as interpretation of graphical data. Emphasis will be placed on the principles of translation of economic and business texts into Czech and the main stumbling blocks encountered in translation. Credit requirements: minimum 80% attendance and active participation in seminars (i.e. systematic preparation for seminars, home assignments handed in due time), 60% score in the final test and a set of FIVE business letters submitted by 20 November at the latest.
