Course objectives (in Czech)
This course will primarily be based upon discussion. Through practice, students will become more comfortable and more proficient using more complicated structures. They will also develop a more sophisticated sense of the subtleties of English, (collocations, connotations, register, etc). Students will evaluate what they are learning and how they learn English in order to apply that awareness to their own teaching.
Syllabus (in Czech)
  • Nov. 19, first essay due. Dec. 17, second essay due.
Literature
  • JONES, Leo. New Cambridge advanced English. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998, 192 s. ISBN 052162939X. info
Assessment methods (in Czech)
Continuous Assessment: Students must earn at least 65 points in order to sit the credit test. There are 100 points possible, divided as follows: 11 for attendence, 39 for class contribution, 20 for essays, and 30 for tests. Attendence is required since it is impossible to make up a missed discussion. Regarding class contribution, students should participate positively in group and class discussions, and not only when called upon, in order to earn points.
