Course objectives
One of the best ways to build vocabulary is to remember collocations rather than single words. This is a course using corpora, as well as materials developed by the teacher. Students will be taught to use the necessary software and will be assigned tasks to work on in small groups. Students will learn to pay attention to interference with Czech and study phrasal verbs, prepositions and idiomatic expressions.
