The basis of "Introduction to Language Study" subject 1 is three complementary and mutually supporting levels: (1) to gain basic insight into language study, including elementary theoretical foundations (and terminology); (2) to expand existing awareness of specific issues related to language in a wider systemic context, focusing on its sound (phonetic) and graphic (spelling) form, and (3) to support skills that lead to the conscious use of linguistic knowledge in practice during teaching.
After completing the course students should be able to: Understand the basic parameters of native language studies including elementary theoretical foundations (and terminology). Understand the system of Czech voice and to know their basic description and / or classification. To think meaningfully and intimately on specific language issues in a broader historical and systemic context. Use skills and acquired competencies that lead to the conscious use of linguistic knowledge in further study of the given field and in practice in teaching. |
