Cíle předmětu
The main goal of the course is to master characteristic features of English syntax, mainly in comparison with the structure of the students´ mother tongue, the Czech language. The differences between the simple sentence, compound sentence and complex sentence will be studied, including all types of dependent clauses and complex condensation.
Výstupy z učení
This course enhances the acquisition of linguistic knowledge and teaching competencies indispensable for the professional development of future teachers of English, in particular communication and interpersonal skills, collaboration and teamwork, flexibility and adaptability (viz Strategic Aim 1, Strategies 2030). The students are expected: 1. to understand linguistic terms from the area of syntax and to be able to explain them on concrete examples; 2. to understand the structure of the compound and complex sentence in comparison with the structure of the simple sentence, especially when compared to the structure of the sentence in the Czech language; 3. to know the language means for the expression of a variety of relations realized by different types of subordinate clauses, namely nominal, adverbial, relative and comparative clauses; 4. to be capable of identifying concrete, even more complex, syntactic structures in the written text and to know how to explain and descrive them while using adequate linguistic terms.

Note for students who travel on Erasmus or have a foreign internship, etc.: If you spend a semester abroad, it is theoretically possible to enroll in this course and complete it, provided you meet all course requirements through self-study and, above all, pass the final in-class exam/credit test after you return home. There is no extra work needed. It is recommended that you communicate with the teacher prior to your departure on Erasmus and then stay in touch, informing them upon your return. AI Manifesto In the course, the use of AI is permitted for learning but not for cheating. It is acceptable to use AI for brainstorming ideas, basic proofreading, and suggestions for improvement. It is unacceptable to have a text generated, translated or reformulated. Remember to acknowledge all innovative ideas that are not yours. For generated ideas, use in-text citations. At the end of each assignment, state how you worked/did not work with AI. When in doubt, consult your teacher.
