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.
