Language Diversity and its Potential: Czech for Specific Purposes as a Path to Career Success

Masaryk University Language Centre is pleased to invite academics pursuing Czech studies, teachers of Czech as a foreign language, and all those interested in the Czech language to the international conference

LANGUAGE DIVERSITY AND ITS POTENTIAL: CZECH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AS A PATH TO CAREER SUCCESS

The conference is an outcome of the international project Czech Online – Czech as a Foreign Language for Specific Purposes, which takes place from September 2020 to August 2023. It follows the successful conference entitled Key to Czech as a Foreign Language, hosted by Masaryk University in September 2015. A new web portal with a course of medical Czech was then introduced to the public, primarily intended for foreign students of medicine studying in the Czech Republic and for doctors from abroad who seek careers in the Czech Republic. The project gained two awards: the Seal of Excellence and the European Language Label. The multilingual portal was used by thousands of users from all over the world until the middle of 2020, when the time came to upgrade and complete it. The new web platform will provide medical Czech alongside legal Czech and Czech for business and economics in four language mutations (Czech, English, German and Polish).
