Course objectives
The course is designed for students who are interested in teaching Czech as a foreign language and want to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice. Students can participate in various research and practical tasks (eg. grammar exercises preparation and verification of their functionality, testing the results on the target group, creating web and mobile applications for Czech as a foreign language). New tasks will be given for each relevant semester. Students will work in small teams or alone; they will apply for the selected topic and, after filling the capacity of chosen topic, will contact the project manager. The topics (under the PLIN054 code) are listed in IS - Topic lists - Projects - Projects for Czech language and computational linguistics. The coursework consists of consultation with the supervisor and/or the consultant: an introductory meeting will be held with assigning the topics, there will be consultations during semester followed by submission of results and final evaluation of student's work. The G13 classroom can be used for meetings of individual teams (see reservations in the timetable). Team members will also collaborate via online communication using appropriate tools such as Facebook groups, document sharing on Google Drive, etc.
