The main aim of the course Czech for Foreigners is to teach students communicate with patients in Czech without any help of English speaking doctors or interpreters and independently write case history. Students can understand information related to very familiar topics that they regularly encounter at school, in the hospital, and in their free time, provided the information is communicated clearly. Students can write simple texts on familiar topics and topics related to their interest, and understand texts that consist of high frequency everyday or job-related language. 3rd and 4th year course focus lies in specialized terminology. The seminars concentrate on practising thematic doctor-patients dialogues and specialised medical terminology with the use of course book based and teacher created exercises. - Course Enrolment Limitations

- Teaching methods
- The tuition is realised in the form of practical courses. The following teaching methods are used: class discussion, roleplay, work in groups, reading, listening, writing HW (including Projects), word study.
- Assessment methods
- The tuition is realised in the form of practical courses. The students' presence in these courses is strictly required, maximally two properly apologised absences (i.e. via the Study Department of the Faculty of Medicine) are tolerated. The tuition is finished by an end-of-term examination (ETE) consisting of a WRITTEN and an ORAL part. Passing the examination is conditioned by proper attendance, ACTIVE PARTICIPATION in practical courses, sitting for Progress Tests and successful passing of written and oral exams. The basic limit for passing all tests is 70%.There will be three progress tests (1 written, 2 oral), each for 50 points (altogether 150 points). In case of passing five Progress tests (passmark for each test is 35/50 points) the basic limit in the credit test is reduced by 10%. If students a) succesfully pass all progress tests (must be taken only during the test week), b) get at least 135 points in total (both conditions must be met), they do not have to take the written exam. Without successful passing the written exam students will not be allowed to sit for the oral part. Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam by awarding grade "F" in the Information System.
