Course content
The course focuses on working with Korean texts of various types and styles that correspond to the students' language level. Students work primarily with textbook texts, stories, and newspaper articles. The course includes the systematic acquisition of vocabulary and grammatical structures contained in the texts. Students also complete homework assignments aimed at reading comprehension and translation. The students' knowledge and skills are assessed through ongoing written tests focused on vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and translation.

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce students, over the span of two semesters, to a wide range of diverse Korean-language texts in various formats. Throughout the course, students encounter textbook texts, short stories, as well as newspaper and online articles. As a result, course graduates acquire not only essential vocabulary but also specialized terminology, while gaining cultural insights and awareness of current events in Korea. The course places strong emphasis on students' ability to work with texts effectivelyidentifying key information and producing accurate translations that appropriately adapt the original meaning to the target language, Czech. By the end of the course, students will have mastered the ability to prepare translations that are clear and easily understandable for an uninvolved Czech reader. Independent preparation and assignments play a major role in the course, allowing students to verify and strengthen the skills they have acquired. Students are required to complete written tests assessing their vocabulary knowledge, grammar, textprocessing skills, and translation abilities. Additionally, students may participate in sessions with native speakers, where they can practice and further develop their competencies.
