Teaching methods
Lecture. Teaching has the form of teacher’s explanations accompanied by presentations. Another part of the course is the e-learning support system, structured according to the topics dealt with during the lecture: The e-learning support system contains recordings of lectures, presentations and exercises. Students are required to fill in exercises continuously during the term.
Assessment methods
During the semester, students are required to complete exercises in the e-learning system on a continuous basis. These results are regularly checked. All e-learning exercises must be completed by the end of the credit week with a minimum success rate of 90%. Meeting this requirement is a necessary prerequisite for taking the colloquium/exam. 1. Completion by Colloquium To obtain the colloquium, students must successfully pass the final written test (minimum 66%). The final test takes place in ELF. During the semester, three progress tests are held in the e-learning course. If a student achieves at least 66% in each progress test, the final test is waived. 2. Completion by Examination The examination consists of a written and an oral part. Success in the written part, which takes place in ELF, is a prerequisite for admission to the oral part (minimum 66%). During the semester, three progress tests are held in the e-learning course. If a student achieves at least 66% in each progress test, the written part of the examination is waived. In the examination, the student is expected to demonstrate the ability to comprehend the development of the standard language as a whole, in its various aspects, i.e., awareness of the continuity and interrelation of its characteristic features.
