Annotation -
Czech Language II builds on the knowledge and communication skills acquired in Czech Language I and focuses on their further development, with an emphasis on the practical use of Czech in academic and healthcare settings. The course develops students’ receptive and productive language skills and expands their grammatical and lexical competence. Particular attention is paid to the vocabulary and communication skills needed for basic interaction with patients, including discussing health status, symptoms and common health problems, conducting a simple patient interview, giving instructions, and communicating in common healthcare situations. Grammar is taught in direct connection with its practical use in communication. The course also develops students’ ability to understand and respond appropriately to basic spoken and written communication related to healthcare.

Winter Semester Credit

Students are awarded the winter semester credit if they meet both of the following requirements:

  • pass two tests during the semester (mid-term and final test) on the Moodle 3 platform, achieving a minimum score of 70% in each test;
  • meet the course attendance requirement, with a maximum of 5 absences.

Neither the mid-term nor the final test can be re-sat or taken on an alternative date, regardless of the reason for absence or failure.

Students who do not meet these requirements must take the (combined) credit test. Students may take the credit test provided they have no more than 7 absences. A minimum score of  70% is required to pass. The credit test may be taken up to three times in total.

The first winter semester credit test is usually held during the credit week; subsequent dates are offered during the examination period.

Summer Semester Credit

Successful completion of the winter semester credit is a prerequisite for being awarded the summer semester credit.

Students who have not yet obtained the winter semester credit may still attend summer semester classes and take the mid-term and final tests. However, the summer semester credit will only be awarded after the winter semester credit has been obtained.

Students are awarded the summer semester credit if they meet both of the following requirements:

  • pass two tests during the semester (mid-term and final test) on the Moodle 3 platform, achieving a minimum score of 70% in each test;
  • meet the course attendance requirement, with a maximum of 5 absences.
