Výukové metody
Discussion based seminar, that requires active home reading and writing of three one-page critical response papers. These activities allow students to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in literary, cultural and language fields of study that build upon students' general secondary education. More so, students are to develop their ability to gather and interpret relevant data, to form judgements that include reflection on relevant literary, social, or ethical issues; students practice to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Last but not least students are to develop learning skills that are necessary for them to continue to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy.
