Description including Unit Aims

This unit aims to build on existing knowledge of Czech grammar and vocabulary, and active and passive skills developed in earlier years, with the central objective of improving freedom, range and accuracy in written and spoken Czech. Students will revise and practise grammar in the context of oral and written communication, and will develop translating skills from and into Czech. Students will work mainly with texts and audio/video material from the contemporary Czech media, and attention will be paid to register and idiomatic use of language for both passive understanding and active use.
