Anotation:

This course is designed as a full-year, two semester preparation course for the university’s compulsory B2-level English Examination (Anglický jazyk B2 - zkouška - B0B04B2Z*). While the course is focused on helping students reach a level required to pass the B2-level English Examination (or improve their English for a higher mark), it also focuses more on the academic and technical vocabulary and grammar expected of students at the university level. *NOTE: This exam is also used for determining an appropriate level of English for Erasmus / International Study.

Study targets:

It is recommended that students take both English Language B2-1 and English Language B2-2 prior to taking the B2-level English Examination, but it is not mandatory.

Content:

English Language B2-1 introduces students to academic-style vocabulary (including recognizing word forms: nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.), basic B2-level grammar concepts (e.g., prepositions, collocations, modal verbs and countable / uncountable nouns), as well as reading and listening skills. English Language B2-1 also aims to help students develop proper, university-level writing skills – particularly, how to write an academic-style text.
