Course objectives
This seminar's objective is to theoretically and practically prepare the students in their 1st term of Czech studies for the literary seminars starting in the 2nd term.

Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- identify the signs of literariness and non-literariness in a text;
- read and interpret a literary work on a higher level;
- identify a variety of literary genres;
- to analyze various literary genres in connection to the transformation of literary movements and styles;
- to create relevant notes on an already read work of literature for the reader's diary or catalogue.
