Learning outcomes
|
The current form of the course was developed based on internal evaluation and the students' needs. The course is intensive, highly individualized, adapting to the needs and language skills of each student. The first part is focused on teaching English as a foreign language on a general level, including strengthening its grammatical, lexical and stylistic structure to enable the graduates of the course to complete it on level C1 at the end of the summer semester, regardless of the diversity of the group at the beginning of the winter semester. This means the students' ability to understand even demanding, professional texts and interpretations, to express themselves fluently, to react promptly and to use the language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes. The second part is focused on improving the students' written communication with special emphasis on work with professional text. The course is supplemented by information and topical subjects from the students' field of study. The knowledge acquired in a course designed this way allows each student in the second and higher grades to travel within the international mobility programmes, to publicly present and defend their own projects or to attend courses taught in English.
The gained capabilities constitute an encompassment and an aquirement of knowledge and experience in the given field of study, they result from a concrete annotation of the subject and are aimed at a profile´s fulfilment of the graduate of the given field of study.
