Summary/Abstract: The English Department offers Bachelor and Master degree programmes. The graduates of these are qualified teachers of English at lower secondary schools. In the second year of the Bachelor programme (single-subject study plan), the students are required to participate in an Integrated Language and Methodology Course, which is based on experiential learning principles. Students in the other study programmes and study plans can take the course as optional. The course presents a reasonable intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social challenge. The participants have an opportunity of developing their communicative competence in English and teaching competences as well as their personalities. The course takes place in Dům Ignáce Stuchlého at Fryšták (the Zlín Region), a building offering accommodation, catering, and suitable number of well-equipped classrooms.
