Course objectives

The aim of JAZ03 course is:
to raise students' awareness of trends and practices among members of specific discourse communities (introducing language in the context of typical genres, practising those genres)
to practise and extend academic vocabulary and basic specialized vocabulary in geographical context (e.g.: academic CV and cover letter for field-related jobs, job interview, poster presentation, hydrology – rivers, transport- airports, natural hazards and specialized maps, cloud computing, slow cities )
to practise language skills and functions typical for natural sciences (e.g. process description, cause-effect, argumentation: persuasive/balanced, analysing: comparing/contrasting, evaluating, etc.) which the students will be able to apply to a narrower/more specific context of their specializations (transferrable skills)
to practise academic skills, e.g.: formal writing/note-taking from a lecture, identifying and formulating main ideas, identifying specific information, interpretation of information, text summary, taking part in discussions, speaking in public about geography-related topics, politeness in negative answers and giving feedback
to practise B2 grammar in academic or specialized context

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to:
better understand an authentic global problem from the angle of their specialization and at the same time communicate it with other specialists in their team
better understand interdisciplinary relationships
formulate their key skills and motivation for the work in a research team (CV, letter of application for an internship, mock interview)
think critically and evaluate information
use English as a tool of communication - functional academic language, specific language of the subject
communicate their results effectively by making their presentations understandable
