Dear students,

We are happy that you have decided to sign up for the new optional course English Speaking Online. This is an experimental sort of course, both in helping you work on perfecting your spoken performance in English, but also for us in learning how online courses in this field work. 

 
The first thing to do is the Placement test (see information below). This will help you to sign up for the group where there are students of approximately the same language level as you are. If you have gone through the test in ONLINE_A Angličtina Online and/or ZS1BP_AC2A Cvičení z gramatiky on-line - AJ, you do not have to do the test again, the results will be entered after you have passed it in the other subject. Just apply for the right group.

Level B1 - Group 1, 3, 5

NŠ students (after Complex exam) - Group 2 (other NŠ students - choose the group based on your level)

Level B2 and above - Group 4 (academic presentations)

You will find the links to the groups below.
There you can start studying the instructions to understand the system of working in the course. After that you will test yourself in "How to work with the course" quiz.

The actual work will start on Week 3 when it is clear that all of you who registered, will really stay in the course. If you have any questions, ask in Frequently Asked Questions in the discussion forum. Writing e-mails to the teacher is limited to dire situations. You can expect having your questions answered in the evenings or at night, do not be surprised, please, when they are not answered immediately during the following day. Good luck with your work!

Instructions for the Placement test:

Log-in: Click the link above and then click on the MU logo under the heading Přihlásit se skrze on the left. Then fill in your UČO and your secondary password. Your UČO is a number, not the User Name for IS. Your secondary password is not the password you use to login to IS. If you do not have a secondary password, set it at https://is.muni.cz/auth/system/heslo first.

Your test may (but not necessarily, though) include listening questions. Have headphones ready, just in case.
You should do your best so that the test accurately shows your level and helps you decide which seminar group you should sign up for.

The results of the test are entered into IS once a day. Be so kind as to complain only after waiting for a few days.

Getting help: If for some reason you can't finish the test or do not have the results in the IS within a couple of days, write to the thread Placement Test in the course discussion forum.

Only after passing the Placement test can you enroll in a seminar group!
