The course is aimed at low-intermediate students who have studied Czech in our B1/I course or have reached B1/I level in other courses. It is assumed that the candidate has studied units 1-5 of the textbook Czech it Up 3 or, for example, at least some of the units of the textbook Česky krok za krokem 2.
The course is not designed as a preparatory course for the Czech citizenship exam or a certified exam, but after completing it, students should be able to express everything they need to in communication and to talk about more complex topics in which they are interested. When reading and listening, they can understand texts that are structured. They can also correct themselves if they make a mistake.
The grammar covered includes the dative, vocative and instrumental plural, which includes the study of nouns, adjectives and personal and possessive pronouns. The perfective and imperfective aspect and the passive are also studied.
The speaking and vocabulary topics include: holidays and traditions, greetings, describing work procedures, travel and transportation, animals and pets, and the weather.
A modern textbook is used with a wealth of reading and listening articles, video, and exercises in the workbook to practise the language. Each unit contains a writing task which can be assigned to the students.
The course is taught using the communicative approach so that it is practical and interesting for the learners. Course content is presented with the needs of learners from the academia in mind. The course is taught by a Czech teacher who is able to explain the new language in English.
