Syllabus
The motto of our sessions, "Expecting more, demanding high."
Each week we will examine one major topic from the field of international relations based on the text material and completion of a variety of exercises. Students are expected to read the assigned class material at home prior to attending the class. Through readings the students will enlarge their vocabulary.
All the reading material will be available on SIS. Students are responsible for copying these reading materials prior to the class.
The materials provided to students and used during the course have been designed only for the purpose of study for students registered in the course of English for IMS I. They are not intended for wider distribution.
To stimulate discussion, students may be assigned to give short presentations on selected readings. All the grammar tasks will be assigned for home preparation.

INFORMATION FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2023/2024
Enrolment for English for IMS I is conditioned by passing the PLACEMENT TEST, which will be held on Monday 18 September 2023 in Jinonice, room no. B328.
You must register for the test in SIS in the course Vstupní test z angličtiny pro IMS (JLB107). Capacity is limited. Enrolment for the placement test via SIS opens 4 September at 10 a.m. and closes 17 September at 8 p.m. Students will then find all necessary information in the Files.
ENROLLMENT FOR THE COURSE OF ENGLISH FOR IMS I (JLB007) WILL OPEN TO THE ADMITTED STUDENTS on Wednesday September 20, 2023 at 12pm.

The list of students admitted to the course will be posted in the Files of the course Placement Test JLB107 no later than Tuesday, September 19 at 8pm.The point threshold for admission to the course is variable and therefore depends on how students perform on the test that year. Students are admitted in order of the highest score reached on the placement test until all parallel courses are filled up to their full capacity.
Students who have successfully completed the course of English for Social Sciences I and II taught by Mgr. Michaela Gloverová do NOT have to take the placement test and can directly enrol for the course. However, they must first inform the instructor of their interest in taking the English for IMS I course in order to secure a place in the course.
If you have a CAE certificate of Level C, then please at first scan it and send it to my email address and once you receive my confirmation you do not need to take the placement test and may sign up directly for the course.
STUDENTS who did not pass the placement test may sign up for the course of English for Social Sciences I, taught by Mgr. Michaela Gloverová. Capacity is limited.
NOTE 1: If you have not taken the JLB107 placement test, you cannot enrol for Mgr. Michaela Gloverová's course.
NOTE 2: Students who have previously enrolled for English for IMS I (JLB007) and have not completed the course cannot enrol for the lower-level course of English for Social Sciences taught by Mgr. Michael Gloverová.
