Course objectives

Language II/1 extends the knowledge of general language gained in the preparatory courses Language II/A and Language II/B and pays particular attention to the specialized language of economics seen as a basis of successful and effective communication.
In the course students practise their ability to understand specialized texts, identify and interpret their main ideas (as well as translate them into the mother tongue with the use of a dictionary).
Students learn to role-play conversations in business situations and master basic types of business correspondence.
Knowledge acquired in this course will serve as a basis for the follow-up course in the summer term which is finished by an exam at the B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference.

Teaching methods

The course is taught in the form of seminars.

Assessment methods

The course is concluded by a credit test. Students are allowed to sit the credit test if they meet the following requirements:
1. 80% attendance in seminars
2. Active participation - continuous preparation, homework
3. Translation from German into Czech (half a standard page)
A credit test is considered successful if a student reaches at least 60% of points.
Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
