Cíle předmětu
This course is designed to be combined with CJV_AP2 Academic and Presentation Skills. Students are strongly encouraged to register for both courses. This course is designed for students who need to revise or upgrade their grammar skills to ensure accuracy of communication in academic environments and contexts. Through the execution of a small project, course participants are placed in authentic academic and research situations requiring nuanced academic English. Diverse tasks, interactions and written texts engender or further develop participants’ knowledge of English, skills in applying the language both accurately and flexibly in both prepared and unprepared academic scenarios, improve participants’ macros-skills, and boost their confidence to the point of unconscious use of English. Projects will expose participants to such academic tasks as writing abstracts, summaries, Introductions and Conclusions, giving and receiving feedback in critique, describing trends in their fields, as well as the results of their research. This course addresses grammar from an EAP/ESP perspective. The course places strong emphasis on reflection and feedback.
Výstupy z učení
Participants will learn to communicate in the appropriate register, use the English language with both flexibility and accuracy in a variety of real-life academic contexts and environments, applying and integrating specialized terminology into effective grammatical structures. Participants will know how to compose abstracts, outlines, summaries, and short descriptions of their research, methods, trends, and developments in their fields of research in appropriate academic English. Students will learn to recognise, and gain practice in, the nuanced use of English. Through regular reflections, participants will learn to write reflectively and gain better insight into themselves as learners.
Osnova
  • Fixed component: Making academic judgments: relevance and reliability Register in academic communication The good and bad of grammar rules English academic vocabulary Reflection and feedback
  • Flexible component: This can include anything from the entire spectrum of English language learning and academic skills acquisition, depending on the most pressing student needs at the time.
Výukové metody
Some participants will already have submitted papers to journals, other might not have. Under guidance from the instructor, small teams of students brainstorm, conceptualise and design an academic paper (anything outside of their active research, the emphasis is on language). They will go through all the stages of research, debating, writing, copy-editing, proofreading and final editing. At every stage of the project, the instructor will guide the participants towards the most effective grammar, the most appropriate register and the most effective composition. We will look at the composition at three levels: sentence; paragraph and body. The outcome of their project is a paper that could be submitted for publication. Participants are asked to set aside an hour each weekend for reflection in English. these take the forms of short audios, videos and written texts. Feedback is given on selected reflections.
