Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic aspects of corpus linguistics, with a particular focus on key concepts, tools, and platforms. Students will gain an overview of how corpus linguistics can be applied to addressing applied linguistic questions in the areas of study, teaching, and research. The course includes work with existing language corpora in both English and Czech, as well as the creation of students' own electronic corpora and their basic linguistic analysis. Attention is also given to the methods and procedures used in the creation and analysis of corpus data. The knowledge and skills acquired in the course may also be applied in pedagogical practice and in the development of teaching materials.
Acquired competencies: Knowledge of corpora, the ability to create a corpus and to use corpora while learning, teaching or researching ( especially in bachelor theses).

Please note: The course is taught in English. Basic computer literacy is also required. Course Requirements Attendance is compulsory. Students may miss a maximum of two classes during the semester. If a student exceeds this limit, they will not meet the requirements for obtaining the course credit. Students will not normally be assigned regular homework. An exception may apply if a cancelled class needs to be substituted. In such cases, students are expected to complete the assigned task and submit it via the e-learning platform before the following class. During classes, students are expected to participate actively in assigned tasks, exercises, and other classroom activities. The teacher will monitor students' participation throughout the semester and will inform students if their level of engagement is insufficient. At the end of the semester, students will take a final theoretical test covering the content taught during the course. To obtain the course credit, students must meet both of the following requirements: participate actively in class and complete the assigned classroom activities; achieve at least 70% in the final theoretical test.
