Assessment methods
Continuous written tests whose format uses various item types (gap filling, multiple choice, matching, information transfer, short answer questions and translation from Czech to Arabic and vice versa) are used throughout the term. Class attendance is not required during the term but the students are strongly recommended to do so. They should participate actively in class work and fulfil their home assignments.
