Cíle předmětu
This is a blended-learning course. The class meets once a week for two hours to undertake language learning activities as set out in the course book and additional activities. Homework is checked, and speaking and listening activities are performed. The distance learning component is mediated through Moodle and further language learning activities are engaged in. These include working through online drills and exercises, collaborative writing tasks, language discovery tasks particicular via corpus analysis, e-seminars in the form of forum discussions and the use of online dictionaries to create hypertext reading activities. The course is taught in two streams: one for those entering their PhD studies and the other for continuing students.
