Learning outcomes
|
This course was prepared and is implemented within the following project: Internationalization of the Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacký University, Olomouc CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0028 (INTEFTEK). The aim of the course is to develop all four language competences in English: reading, writing, speaking and listening. The course develops the students' abilities to use English as a means of communication in the context of various life situations and develops vocabulary related to their prospective profession. The course provides a basis for the application of acquired language skills (e.g. in communication with foreign students at the faculty) and allows their further development in a follow-up course KSK/EFL3.
Upon completion of the course the level of language competences of the student corresponds to A2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (see http://www.inteftek.upol.cz/images/download/SERR_sebehodnoceni.pdf).
