Cíle předmětu
The course 'Grammar A' is designed for the 1st year students and as such it summarises and develops the students' knowledge of English grammar. The entry level is expected to be at least B2. As it is the first grammar course in the programme, the aim is also to help students adapt to a university style of teaching.
The main objective of the course is to consolidate and further develop the students' knowledge of grammar by presenting grammar as a system whose elements are interconnected and influence each other. Grammar is studied as a complex whole with focus on functions and meanings and mutual comparison of grammar features that help students understand the grammar system as such. The course also includes basic linguistic terminology, the knowledge of which is essential for the students' independent work with the course materials and recommended sources as well as their future studies (courses in English syntax mainly). Students will be able to (SWBAT) compare sentences in terms of grammar and meaning, as well as compare Czech and English grammar where such comparison is noteworthy; SWBAT correct mistakes in sentences and explain their corrections; SWBAT provide explanations and examples of their own to illustrate the grammar points discussed; SWBAT analyze stretches of language and justify choices of structures, tenses, articles, etc., and identify the speaker's attitudes and intentions.
The course is based on 'A Student's Grammar of the English Language' by Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk as the main study material. Chapters discussed include: A general framework, Verbs and auxiliaries and The Semantics of the verb phrase, i.e. Chapters 2,3,4.
Výstupy z učení
Students will be able to: - analyse a simple sentence (function vs. form, i.e. sentence elements vs. phrases);
- distinguish between types of verb (transitive, intransitive, linking) and use them in sentences to show understanding of the individual types and their complementation;
- understand the difference between finite and non-finite forms and clauses and use them in context and supply their own examples;
- use English tenses in context and understand differences between tenses, i.e. simple vs. continuous, perfect tenses;
- idenify and explain the verbal categories of tense, voice and mood and aspect, with focus on the differences in form and meaning;
