Annotation
The exam tests academic reading comprehension of a longer specialized text (general as well as detailed understanding) in the context of the studied field.
The exam consists of home reading and preparation of materials based on reading a scholarly text in the selected foreign language relevant to the student’s field of study and an oral part (presentation of the home reading and analysis of an unknown scholarly text).
Students will be provided with 1 monolingual and 1 bilingual dictionary.
A current specialised text which has not been translated to Czech written by a native speaker and/or published in a renowned foreign periodical related to the field of study of the examinee. Students are recommended to use a text that they can benefit from, ideally when writing a seminar/bachelor/master thesis. The text must, in any case, be related to their field of study. We recommend consulting the suitability of the text with the academic reading course instructor or an expert in the field from the student’s home department.
Students of other faculties choose a specialised text related to one of the study programmes at the Faculty of Arts.
Students are asked to bring a clean copy of the text or its copy on a notebook or tablet for the exam.
