Learning outcomes
|
The course serves a more clinical and consultative function. The main aim is to revise and extend elements of grammar that have been covered in classes of morphology (year 1) and syntax (year 3) with special attention paid to the Czech language as students' mother tongue. It helps students overcome their problems in various grammar areas. The actual programme is negotiated with students who have chosen this elective so that it meets their individual needs.
Students will develop their general linguistics knowledge and skills in order to meet the requirements of a professional English language teacher.
