Cíle předmětu
This course introduces students to the basic skills of critical reading, thinking and writing. At the end of the course, students will be able to pose effective questions for subsequent analysis, examine crucial concepts in writings from varied disciplines, make connections between ideas, and synthesize them. They will learn how to turn their interpretation into a complex argument and support it with relevant textual evidence. The Critical Reading course is not an overview course, i.e. it does not necessarily follow a chronological development of British or American literature and history. The course focuses on critical reading exercises, reading strategies, analytical skills and develops students´ creative thinking, problem solving skills and critical thinking as well as general intercultural awareness and communicative competence. It is a support course that branches out into all module courses on both Bachelor's and Master's levels.
