NEW from 2021/22, the course ends with an exam and is also interchangeable with the separate Academic Reading exam in the Common Core (ASZAJ2000).
In practice, this means that a student who has the Common Core exam "Foreign Language II - Academic Reading" prescribed in the curriculum can choose whether to enrol in the stand-alone exam - code ASZRJ2000, or enrol in the course "Academic Reading" - code ASZAJ3050, ending with exam. The course exam will then automatically fulfill the requirement for the 2nd language exam in the common core (so the student no longer writes down the code ASZAJ2000). Advantages and disadvantages - see exam requirements. Students who do not need the Zk in English as a Second Language but want to improve their work with professional foreign language texts, learn different reading techniques, expand their academic vocabulary and become familiar with more complex grammatical structures can also enrol in the course. We also recommend the course Academic Reading as a supplementary subject in preparation for the oral part of the exam B2. This course is not intended for Erasmus students.

Credit requirements: regular active participation in the course (possibly also in online lessons), minimum 60%; completion of specific sub-tasks during the semester; presentation of a selected professional text and passing the academic vocabulary test (60%). The course ends with an exam in which the student presents a selected academic text of his/her choice and demonstrates on the spot understanding of a short, previously unknown text in his/her field. Advantages of the newly designed exam, which concludes the course ASZAJ3050 (compared to Zk ASZAJ2000):
