Cíle předmětu
This course focuses on enhancing the linguistic competence of the students as language users and future teachers of English in the field of stylistics. The course introduces basic stylistic terminology and drawing on the functional approach to the study of style focuses on stylistic markers of English functional styles, including multimodal genres. The main objective of the course is to help students identify and understand rhetorical strategies and linguistic features used in the administrative style (form and formal letters), legal English, public speaking, advertising, newspaper writing, scientific prose style, the language of conversation and stylized dialogue. The students analyse and create texts representing different styles and genres and discuss their distinctive features. They are encouraged to link what they have learned during the course to practice at schools via practical tasks.
The course enhances the acquisition of linguistic knowledge and teaching competences indispensable for the professional development of future teachers of English, such as communication and interpersonal skills, collaboration and teamwork, flexibility and adaptability.
