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 lies in specialized terminology. The seminars concentrate on practising thematic doctor-patient dialogues and specialised medical terminology with the use of course book based and teacher created exercises. - Course Enrolment Limitations

- Teacher's information
- The tuition is realised in the form of practical courses. The students' presence in these courses is strictly required, maximally two properly apologized absences are tolerated. The tuition is finished by a course-unit credit given on the basis of the students' presence, preparation for classes, sitting for Progress Tests and their successful passing of a Final test.
Final test passmark can be reduced by passing the progress tests (1 written test. 2 oral tests). There will be three progress tests (1 written, 2 oral), each for 50 points (altogether 150 points). In case of passing three 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 test week), b) get at least 135 points in total (both conditions must be met), they do not have to take the final written test.
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 "N" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
