Course objectives
The aim of the course is to achieve the B2 level( based on the Common European Framework of Reference) of English language competence. Students can understand the main ideas of relatively complex text on both concrete and academic/professional topics, including discussions in their field of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of academic/professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Listening: Students can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar. They can understand most media news and current affairs programmes. Reading: Students can read academic/professional texts without great difficulty. They can read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt a particular stance or viewpoint. Spoken interaction: Students can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible. They can take an active part in discussion in familiar contexts, accounting for and sustaining their views. Written interaction: Students can write both formal and informal letters/emails, applications and cover letters. Spoken production: Students can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of academic/professional subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Students can write short academic texts, summaries and resumes. Written production: Students can write clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can write a short academic text, summary, and resume passing on information or giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view. Grammar accuracy: Students show a relatively high degree of grammatical control. They do not make errors which cause misunderstanding, and can correct most of their mistakes. They can also use some complex sentence forms. Grammar and language fluency: Students can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although they can be hesitant as they search for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses. Coherence: Students can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear, coherent discourse, though there may be some short pauses in a long contribution

Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
The capacity limit for the course is 120 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/120, only registered: 0/120, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/120
Course objectives
The aim of the course is to achieve the B2 level( based on the Common European Framework of Reference) of English language competence. Students can understand the main ideas of relatively complex text on both concrete and academic/professional topics, including discussions in their field of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of academic/professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Listening: Students can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar. They can understand most media news and current affairs programmes. Reading: Students can read academic/professional texts without great difficulty. They can read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt a particular stance or viewpoint. Spoken interaction: Students can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible. They can take an active part in discussion in familiar contexts, accounting for and sustaining their views. Written interaction: Students can write both formal and informal letters/emails, applications and cover letters. Spoken production: Students can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of academic/professional subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Students can write short academic texts, summaries and resumes. Written production: Students can write clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can write a short academic text, summary, and resume passing on information or giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view. Grammar accuracy: Students show a relatively high degree of grammatical control. They do not make errors which cause misunderstanding, and can correct most of their mistakes. They can also use some complex sentence forms. Grammar and language fluency: Students can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although they can be hesitant as they search for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses. Coherence: Students can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear, coherent discourse, though there may be some short pauses in a long contribution

Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
The capacity limit for the course is 120 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/120, only registered: 0/120, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/120
Course objectives
The aim of the course is to achieve the B2 level( based on the Common European Framework of Reference) of English language competence. Students can understand the main ideas of relatively complex text on both concrete and academic/professional topics, including discussions in their field of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of academic/professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Listening: Students can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar. They can understand most media news and current affairs programmes. Reading: Students can read academic/professional texts without great difficulty. They can read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt a particular stance or viewpoint. Spoken interaction: Students can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible. They can take an active part in discussion in familiar contexts, accounting for and sustaining their views. Written interaction: Students can write both formal and informal letters/emails, applications and cover letters. Spoken production: Students can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of academic/professional subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Students can write short academic texts, summaries and resumes. Written production: Students can write clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can write a short academic text, summary, and resume passing on information or giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view. Grammar accuracy: Students show a relatively high degree of grammatical control. They do not make errors which cause misunderstanding, and can correct most of their mistakes. They can also use some complex sentence forms. Grammar and language fluency: Students can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although they can be hesitant as they search for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses. Coherence: Students can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear, coherent discourse, though there may be some short pauses in a long contribution

Tento kurz je PRIMÁRNĚ určen studentům PREZENČNÍHO studia. Ve výjimečných případech je možné studovat formou samostudia on-line kurz cjva2p na základě udělení výjimky. Absolvování kurzu CJVA1M není podmínkou pro zápis kurzu CJVA2M. INFORMACE O PREREKVIZITĚ - ADAPTIVNÍ TEST ADAPT_AJ: Vážení studenti, vzhledem k poměrně náročným požadavkům předmětu specializované angličtiny na vašich fakultách a vašim rozdílným vstupním znalostem je důležité, aby bylo ověřeno, zda tyto znalosti odpovídají standardizovaným požadavkům pro jednotlivé obory. Z tohoto důvodu je jako prerekvizita nastaven předmět Adaptivní test. Předmět si musíte zaregistrovat jako ADAPT_AJ z katalogu Pedagogické fakulty. Jeho cílem je rychle a objektivně posoudit, zda vaše znalosti angličtiny minimálně odpovídají úrovni B1 dle Evropského referenčního rámce. Podrobnější informace k průběhu a hodnocení testu najdete v osnově předmětu ADAPT_AJ https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/1411/podzim2011/CJVAT01/index.qwarp. Pokud požadované úrovně B1 nedosáhnete, nebudete do kurzů CJV zapsáni. Máte možnost se poté rozhodnout, jak si znalosti zlepšíte - zda si mezery v gramatice a nedostatečnou slovní zásobu doplníte na některé z jazykových škol, individuálním samostudiem nebo zda se přihlásíte do kurzu Online_A, který nabízí Pedagogická fakulta MU a je bez prezenční výuky. U testu nepodvádějte, protože jeho výsledky jsou především ukazatelem pro vás samotné, a pokud budou nadhodnocené, je velmi pravděpodobné, že na studium odborné angličtiny nebudete stačit.

Tento kurz je PRIMÁRNĚ určen studentům PREZENČNÍHO studia. Ve vyjímečných případech je možné studovat formou samostudia on-line kurz cjva2p na základě udělení výjimky. Absolvování kurzu CJVA1M není podmínkou pro zápis kurzu CJVA2M. INFORMACE O PREREKVIZITĚ - ADAPTIVNÍ TEST ADAPT_AJ: Vážení studenti, vzhledem k poměrně náročným požadavkům předmětu specializované angličtiny na vašich fakultách a vašim rozdílným vstupním znalostem je důležité, aby bylo ověřeno, zda tyto znalosti odpovídají standardizovaným požadavkům pro jednotlivé obory. Z tohoto důvodu je jako prerekvizita nastaven předmět Adaptivní test. Předmět si musíte zaregistrovat jako ADAPT_AJ z katalogu Pedagogické fakulty. Jeho cílem je rychle a objektivně posoudit, zda vaše znalosti angličtiny minimálné odpovídají úrovni B1 dle Evropského referenčního rámce. Podrobnější informace k průběhu a hodnocení testu najdete v osnově předmětu ADAPT_AJ https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/1411/podzim2011/CJVAT01/index.qwarp. Pokud požadované úrovně B1 nedosáhnete, nebudete do kurzů CJV zapsáni. Máte možnost se poté rozhodnout, jak si znalosti zlepšíte - zda si mezery v gramatice a nedostatečnou slovní zásobu doplníte na některé z jazykových škol, individuálním samostudiem nebo zda se přihlásíte do kurzu Online_A, který nabízí Pedagogická fakulta MU a je bez prezenční výuky. U testu nepodvádějte, protože jeho výsledky jsou především ukazatelem pro vás samotné, a pokud budou nadhodnocené, je velmi pravděpodobné, že na studium odborné angličtiny nebudete stačit.

Course objectives
The aim of the course is to achieve the B2 level( based on the Common European Framework of Reference) of English language competence. Students can understand the main ideas of relatively complex text on both concrete and academic/professional topics, including discussions in their field of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of academic/professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Listening: Students can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar. They can understand most media news and current affairs programmes. Reading: Students can read academic/professional texts without great difficulty. They can read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt a particular stance or viewpoint. Spoken interaction: Students can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible. They can take an active part in discussion in familiar contexts, accounting for and sustaining their views. Written interaction: Students can write both formal and informal letters/emails, applications and cover letters. Spoken production: Students can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of academic/professional subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Students can write short academic texts, summaries and resumes. Written production: Students can write clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can write a short academic text, summary, and resume passing on information or giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view. Grammar accuracy: Students show a relatively high degree of grammatical control. They do not make errors which cause misunderstanding, and can correct most of their mistakes. They can also use some complex sentence forms. Grammar and language fluency: Students can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although they can be hesitant as they search for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses. Coherence: Students can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear, coherent discourse, though there may be some short pauses in a long contribution

Po vypracování testu si v tzv. interaktivní osnově tohoto předmětu srovnáte své výsledky s Evropským referenčním rámcem pro jazyky a pokud požadované úrovně nedosahujete, rozhodnete se, jak si je doplníte - zda si mezery v gramatice a nedostatečnou slovní zásobu doplníte na některé z jazykových škol, individuálním samostudiem nebo zda se přihlásíte do kurzu Online_A, který nabízí Pedagogická fakulta MU a je bez prezenční výuky.

Absolvování kurzu CJVA1M není podmínkou pro zápis kurzu CJVA2M. INFORMACE O PREREKVIZITĚ - DIAG. TEST CJVA_t: Vážení studenti, vzhledem k poměrně náročným požadavkům předmětu specializované angličtiny na vašich fakultách a vašim rozdílným vstupním znalostem je důležité, abyste si ověřili, zda tyto znalosti odpovídají standardizovaným požadavkům pro jednotlivé obory. Z tohoto důvodu budete zapsáni do předmětu Diagnostický test. Test tedy mohou skládat jen studenti, kteří mají zaregistrovaný předmět CJVA-t, jinak se výsledky testu nemohou do poznámkového bloku zapsat.Z tohoto důvodu je nutné si předmět CJVA-t zapsat před spuštěním testu. Jeho cílem je rychle a objektivně posoudit, zda vaše znalosti angličtiny oné vstupní úrovni odpovídají. Po vypracování testu si v tzv. interaktivní osnově tohoto předmětu srovnáte své výsledky s Evropským referenčním rámcem pro jazyky a pokud požadované úrovně nedosahujete, rozhodnete se, jak si je doplníte - zda si mezery v gramatice a nedostatečnou slovní zásobu doplníte na některé z jazykových škol, individuálním samostudiem nebo zda se přihlásíte do kurzu Online_A, který nabízí Pedagogická fakulta MU a je bez prezenční výuky. U testu proto nepodvádějte, protože jeho výsledky jsou především ukazatelem pro vás samotné, a pokud budou nadhodnocené, je velmi pravděpodobné, že na studium odborné angličtiny nebudete stačit. Předmět se ani neukončuje, ani za něho nejsou žádné kredity, je to jen služba pro vás, abyste zavčas zjistili své případné nedostatky v angličtině a mohli se podle toho v předstihu zařídit.

Course objectives
The aim of the course is to achieve the B2 level( based on the Common European Framework of Reference) of English language competence. Students can understand the main ideas of relatively complex text on both concrete and academic/professional topics, including discussions in their field of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of academic/professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Listening: Students can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar. They can understand most media news and current affairs programmes. Reading: Students can read academic/professional texts without great difficulty. They can read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt a particular stance or viewpoint. Spoken interaction: Students can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible. They can take an active part in discussion in familiar contexts, accounting for and sustaining their views. Written interaction: Students can write both formal and informal letters/emails, applications and cover letters. Spoken production: Students can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of academic/professional subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Students can write short academic texts, summaries and resumes. Written production: Students can write clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can write a short academic text, summary, and resume passing on information or giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view. Grammar accuracy: Students show a relatively high degree of grammatical control. They do not make errors which cause misunderstanding, and can correct most of their mistakes. They can also use some complex sentence forms. Grammar and language fluency: Students can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although they can be hesitant as they search for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses. Coherence: Students can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear, coherent discourse, though there may be some short pauses in a long contribution

Tento kurz je PRIMÁRNĚ určen studentům PREZENČNÍHO studia. Ve vyjímečných případech je možné studovat formou samostudia on-line kurz cjva2p na základě udělení výjimky. Absolvování kurzu CJVA1M není podmínkou pro zápis kurzu CJVA2M. INFORMACE O PREREKVIZITĚ - DIAG. TEST CJVA_t: Vážení studenti, vzhledem k poměrně náročným požadavkům předmětu specializované angličtiny na vašich fakultách a vašim rozdílným vstupním znalostem je důležité, abyste si ověřili, zda tyto znalosti odpovídají standardizovaným požadavkům pro jednotlivé obory. Z tohoto důvodu budete zapsáni do předmětu Diagnostický test. Test tedy mohou skládat jen studenti, kteří mají zaregistrovaný předmět CJVA-t, jinak se výsledky testu nemohou do poznámkového bloku zapsat.Z tohoto důvodu je nutné si předmět CJVA-t zapsat před spuštěním testu. Jeho cílem je rychle a objektivně posoudit, zda vaše znalosti angličtiny oné vstupní úrovni odpovídají. Po vypracování testu si v tzv. interaktivní osnově tohoto předmětu srovnáte své výsledky s Evropským referenčním rámcem pro jazyky a pokud požadované úrovně nedosahujete, rozhodnete se, jak si je doplníte - zda si mezery v gramatice a nedostatečnou slovní zásobu doplníte na některé z jazykových škol, individuálním samostudiem nebo zda se přihlásíte do kurzu Online_A, který nabízí Pedagogická fakulta MU a je bez prezenční výuky. U testu proto nepodvádějte, protože jeho výsledky jsou především ukazatelem pro vás samotné, a pokud budou nadhodnocené, je velmi pravděpodobné, že na studium odborné angličtiny nebudete stačit. Předmět se ani neukončuje, ani za něho nejsou žádné kredity, je to jen služba pro vás, abyste zavčas zjistili své případné nedostatky v angličtině a mohli se podle toho v předstihu zařídit.

Course objectives
The aim of the course is to achieve the B2 level( based on the Common European Framework of Reference) of English language competence. Students can understand the main ideas of relatively complex text on both concrete and academic/professional topics, including discussions in their field of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of academic/professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Listening: Students can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar. They can understand most media news and current affairs programmes. Reading: Students can read academic/professional texts without great difficulty. They can read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt a particular stance or viewpoint. Spoken interaction: Students can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible. They can take an active part in discussion in familiar contexts, accounting for and sustaining their views. Written interaction: Students can write both formal and informal letters/emails, applications and cover letters. Spoken production: Students can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of academic/professional subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. Students can write short academic texts, summaries and resumes. Written production: Students can write clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects related to their field of study and interest. They can write a short academic text, summary, and resume passing on information or giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view. Grammar accuracy: Students show a relatively high degree of grammatical control. They do not make errors which cause misunderstanding, and can correct most of their mistakes. They can also use some complex sentence forms. Grammar and language fluency: Students can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although they can be hesitant as they search for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses. Coherence: Students can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear, coherent discourse, though there may be some short pauses in a long contribution

Syllabus
  • 1. Presentation Skills V tématu nazvaném Presentation Skills se zaměříte na rozvíjení a zdokonalování velmi praktické dovednosti - jak správně a co nejlépe podat prezentaci na akademické či odborné téma.

Opět zde budete mít řadu možností, jak na základě textů určených ke čtení či okruhu daných otázek formulovat prostřednictvím diskusního fóra své názory, myšlenky a postoje. Tabulka dole Vám nabízí stručný přehled o probírané gramatice, slovní zásobě, jazykových funkcích a dovednostech. Gramatika: Číslovky a předložky. Slovní zásoba: Vzdělání.

Course objectives
The aim of the course is to achieve the B2+ level (based on the Common European Framework of Reference) of English language competence. The focus is on argument, effective social discourse and on language awareness, which can also be interpreted as a new focus on discourse skills. This new degree of discourse competence shows itself in conversational management (co-operating strategies): give feedback on and follow up statements and inferences by other speakers and so help the development of the discussion; relate own contribution skilfully to those of other speakers. It is also apparent in relation to coherence/cohesion: use a variety of linking words efficiently to mark clearly the relationships between ideas; develop an argument systematically with appropriate highlighting of significant points, and relevant supporting ideas.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to: prepare a poster presentation ona study related topic write an abstract for their presentation write a comparative essay participate at a debate on an academic topic.
