Course contents:

This is an introductory course tailored to international students of various linguistic and cultural backgrounds studying at CINKK Program, FAMU. No previous knowledge of Czech is required. The course begins with the basics of Czech grammar and vocabulary. Besides that, students learn technical terms and vocabulary of their field, cinematography. Weekly classes consist of grammar and vocabulary discussions, exercises promoting conversation and a review of the previous lesson?s topics. In addition, each week homework assignments are handed out for completion by the next lesson.

Grammar: Phonetic and graphic Rules, Verb Conjugations in the Past, Present and Future Tenses, Indicative and Imperative Mood. Verbs of position and motion, corresponding Adverbs and Prepositions. Nouns and Adjectives, Personal, Demonstrative and Possessive Pronouns: Gender and Case (Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Locative, Instrumental Singular Cases), Word Order, the system of Czech Prepositions.

I.Kořánová: Česká čítanka. A reader with lexical and grammar exercises. Akropolis 2012.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods:

Attendance is mandatory. Each lesson builds on material form the previous week, without habitual attendance a student will quickly fall behind. Failing to complete homework assignments on time will also affect a student?s participation grade. Finally, as we are in the Czech Republic, students should speak Czech in their daily interactions throughout Prague. There?s no better method of learning a language than conversing with native speakers.

Assessment methods and criteria:

Class participation, homework:50%

Vocabulary and grammar quizzes: 10%

Final test: 40%
