Learning outcomes
|
To be skilled in modern Czech language world (with its monumentality and possibilities), to have an orientation in all its difficulties, is not available without cooperation with all its ancient creators; it is not possible without holding their thoughts and ideas tight. A self-cognition helped cave dweller to find out his uniqueness among other animals and creatures and become a real human - and cognition of language transformed the language to life-condition or cultural environment, necessary for every civilisation. The way of language-cognition is a way of purposeful improving of communication - and that means creating of standard language as a principal language system, but that also means cultivating of conditions of education, cultivating of environment and culture, because without it, the standard language has no sense. Through thousand-years-old experience of Czech language (used in a communication by speakers/co-creators), students can improve their ideas about sense of a standard language. Thanks to this kind of a dialog, university student will take this process as a part of himself. He will understand that Czech language is not just a common (even difficult) thing; it is an artefact, created by numbers of generations. At the end of lectures, there is a written test.
The course is based on the authentic experience of the students, which is gained from direct cognition of authentic texts and their authors. Such an approach offers immediate testimony of contemporary thinking and understanding czech language. Thanks to such an authentic experience, the student creates his own idea about this subject and also about creating his own knowledge environment, a kind of "autosphere". As a teacher, he will then be able to cast this experience to his future pupils and students.
