Course objectives
The aim of the course is to teach students to distinguish in practice the different layers of the national language, layers of literary and non-literary Czech, understand the difference between speech and writing, lead them to master the basic spelling and grammatical phenomena of Czech, principles of literary pronunciation and cultivated communication with a focus on their own practice of expression . The focus of teaching should therefore be aimed primarily at the fact that students are able to functionally use the acquired knowledge in communication practice. The instruction on individual phenomena is conceived in such a way that it is based not only on theoretical interpretations, but is based on examples and demonstrations that are part of current communication practice.
Learning outcomes
