In the second semester the students continue to develop their communicative competence in English. The main emphasis is placed on improving accuracy and fluency in speaking, in both prepared and unprepared situations. The students also continue to develop their vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. In listening and reading we focus on selected strategies and their application. In writing, the main attention is given to the writing process including planning, drafting, editing, and proofreading.

V průběhu druhého semestru studenti nadále rozvíjejí svou komunikační kompetenci v anglickém jazyce. Hlavní důraz je kladen na zdokonalování přesnosti a plynulosti mluveného projevu v připravených i nepřipravených situacích. Pokračuje rozvíjení slovní zásoby, prohlubování znalosti gramatických pravidel a jejich internalizace, zpřesňování výslovnosti. V poslechu a čtení se zaměřujeme na vybrané strategie a jejich aplikaci. V písemném projevu pokračuje práce především v oblasti vícefázového procesu psaní (plánování, psaní konceptu, editace, korektura atd.).
