Course content
|
The aim of the course is to prepare the students for further occupation with German studies. The basic content of the course is the deepening of the grammatical knowledge, the increase in the ability to understand written and spoken demonstrations of German, and the active skill to communicate in German. A part of the course is a content and linguistic analysis of academic texts (essays, scholastic and popular scientific articles) related to individual humanities. Students will be further introduced to general principles of academic work (work with sources and secondary literature) and will be confronted with the structure and vocabulary of scientific texts. Within the course students will visit the library, they will learn about various kinds of research, and the advantages and disadvantages of work with internet sources.

Learning outcomes
|
In this course, students are prepared for the written exam in the summer semester, in which they are given 4 hours to analyse a German narrative (max 2 NS long). The analysis consists of answering 6-7 comprehension questions about the text in writing, translating 6 sentences about the text from Czech into German and grammatically changing 8 sentences from the text according to instructions. The course is therefore about both text comprehension and practising written expression in German. In the course there are about 3 homework assignments that the students have to complete as well as a test exam at the end of the semester, which has to be discussed individually. Two unexcused absences per semester are permitted.
Extension of the knowledge of German grammar, the ability to understand written and spoken demonstrations of German language and an active skill to communicate in German; the knowledge of general principles of academic work (work with sources and with secondary literature).
