Cíle předmětu
This course is designed to improve the fluency of students' writing. Students will be introduced to the process of writing and be guided through the basic steps and techniques. The writing will be practised in various genres, with information relevant to writing for different purposes. The course focuses on mastering functions necessary for effective writing in general (comparison and contrast, evaluation and conclusion, generalisation and summary, expressing cause and effect, linking, etc.), as well as for academic purposes (developing arguments, providing evidence, citing other sources). The course enhances the acquisition of linguistic knowledge and teaching competencies indispensable for the professional development of future teachers of English, in particular communication and interpersonal skills, collaboration and teamwork, flexibility and adaptability (see Strategic Aim 1, Strategies 2030).

The course requires approximately the same amount of time spent by studying materials and drafting assignments at home as the time spent in seminars. Except the four obligatory written assignments, other short written tasks are assigned during the course so that they can be discussed and peer-assessed in the next lessons.

If a student is spending the whole semester abroad within the framework of the Erasmus programme, attendance is not considered obligatory, but the other requirements (obligatory written assignments) must be submitted online in due times.

In the course, the use of AI is permitted for learning but not for cheating. It is acceptable to use AI for brainstorming ideas, basic proofreading, and suggestions for improvement. It is unacceptable to have a text generated, translated or reformulated. Remember to acknowledge all innovative ideas that are not yours. For generated ideas, use in-text citations. At the end of each assignment, state how you worked/did not work with AI. When in doubt, consult your teacher.
