Course objectives

The aim of JAB03 course is:
-to raise students‘ awareness of modern trends and practices among members of specific discourse communities (introducing language in the context of typical genres, practising those genres)
-to practise and extend academic vocabulary and basic specialized vocabulary in biological context (e.g.: academic CV and cover letter for field-related jobs, job interview, poster presentation, genetic engineering, radioactivity, malaria, genetic diseases, genetic screening, stem cell research, sound and hearing phenomena)
-to practise language skills and functions typical for natural sciences (e.g. process description, cause-effect, argumentation: persuasive/balanced, analysing: comparing/contrasting, evaluating, etc.) which the students will be able to apply to a narrower/more specific context of their specializations (transferrable skills)
-to practise academic skills, e.g.: formal writing/note-taking from a lecture, identifying and formulating main ideas, identifying specific information, interpretation of information, text summary, taking part in discussions, speaking in public about biology-related topics, politeness markers in negative answers/giving negative feedback
-to practise B2 grammar in academic or specialized context
