Cíle předmětu
This is a blended-learning course intended for students of postgraduate programmes and novice academic professionals who want to become acquainted with the basic principles of academic speaking and effective communication skills in English language. The class meets once a week for two hours to undertake team, collaborative and individual activities with the aim to learn about formal/informal oral communication; complex lecturing and presentation skills; and feedback giving and accepting. Active participation (spoken production and interaction) is practiced in contact lessons while the distance learning component is mediated through the IS discussion forum. At the end of the course, the participants will be able to take an active part in discussions in academic contexts of their interest, to account for and sustain their views; and to interact with a high degree of fluency and spontaneity. They will also be able to present clear, smoothly-flowing presentations or arguments in a style appropriate to the context and with an effective logical structure integrating sub-themes, developing particular points and rounding off with an appropriate conclusion.
