There are two parts – written and oral.
The written part

The oral part
- Evaluation of the written part

- Structured presentation of chosen specialized text and discussion
- Translation (in case of non-native Czech speakers paraphrasing/summarizing) of chosen extracts)
The length of the specialized text is 20 standard pages.
Text must be related to the student’s studies. If the text is appropriate can be discussed with the teachers of the particular language (highly advisable if students have doubts). The author of the text must be a native speaker of the particular language, the source of the text cannot be e.g. an anonymous website, Wikipedia etc., and the text must not be a translation from a different language. Text can be taken from e.g. two different sources, if photocopied the pages with the title, information on the author(s) and bibliography (editor, publisher, year of the edition).
The oral part takes part on either the same day as the written part or in the following days (within one week after the written part).
