Annotation

Kurs pro středně pokročilé studenty, který celkově prohlubuje jazykovou kompetenci v angličtině. Cílem kursu je upevňovat již získané gramatické návyky a tematicky rozvíjet slovní zásobu z nejrůznějších oblastí. Důraz je kladen především na přesnost vyjadřování, rozvíjení schopnosti rozumět slyšenému textu i na postupné osvojování celkové gramatické struktury angličtiny. Student má možnost se zapsat do kurzu opakovaně během studia, protože obsah kurzu se mění. Pokud si nejste jistý svou jazykovou úrovní, ověřte si ji testem na adrese https://dl1.cuni.cz/course/view.php?id=18051
