Course content
There will be at least two doctoral students who will take the doctoral exam in English at the same time. They will be expected to pay attention to each other´s presentation and be prepared to ask each other questions related to it. The candidate?s ten-minute presentation of their doctoral project must include: title and overall theme of the project (possibly if the candidate?s work is part of a team project); background of the presented theme (who dealt with it before, when, from what point of view, etc.); what is the main question which the thesis wishes to be an answer to; what method(s) of research is/are used (analysis, synthesis, comparison, statistics, etc.); what materials are used in the candidate?s research project and during their thesis writing (visual sources, written sources, recordings, etc.); what the candidate?s project brings new to the presented subject and to the respective discipline; summary of the 30 to 50-page original English subject-related text chosen for the viva and how this text relates to their theme of study. This presentation may include a short discussion with the examiner(s) and with the other doctoral students present on the theme of their research. The candidate is supposed to present his/her project and the academic text submitted without reading notes or using a powerpoint programme. In the following part of the examination, each candidate will be asked to read passages from the original English text which he/she has chosen for the viva, to translate into Czech or summarize/explain the passages in English, to answer questions related to the grammar and vocabulary encountered in the respective passage. The candidate will also be dictated a few sentences chosen by the examiners from the overall English text, which he or she will have to write down; after the dictation, the candidate will be asked to write a short text in English on their doctoral project and/or their personal comment related to the subject-related text as a whole.
