Winter 2024 – Higher-level English courses

This semester we are offering two general English courses for upper-intermediate and advanced speakers:

  • VYA010 (Upper Intermediate / B1-B2 level)
  • VYA004 (Lower Advanced / B2-C1 level)

The courses are for:

  • students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering,
  • self-financing students from other faculties, and
  • visiting Erasmus+ international students from any faculty.

More information here.

Payment details for self-financing students from other faculties*

(*Do not pay until you have attended the first lesson and decided if the classes suit you)

Registration

Students at the Faculty of Civil Engineering can register as usual via the student intranet, while Erasmus students and students from other faculties should write to the teacher (Mr Turland) at Roger.Turland@vut.cz to enrol.

Course times

If you can’t attend at one of these times, you can request a different one (see below). Often it’s possible to place a course at a different time if enough people request it.

VYA010: Wednesdays 8:00

VYA004: Mondays 18:00, Tuesdays 16:00 and 18:00

Requesting alternative course times

If you want to request an alternative course time, please email the teacher at Roger.Turland@vut.cz, saying if you would like:

  1. VYA010,
  2. VYA004, or
  3. you don’t mind which you do,

and the times when you are free (e.g. Mondays 10-14, Wednesdays after 12) + if you are an Erasmus student, and at what faculty. Mr Turland can create a course at a new time if there are enough requests for that time.

We normally need at least 10 people in total for a course to run. Perhaps you have some colleagues who want to attend with you? If so, submit a group request.

Group requests

If you can put together a group of people who can attend at the same times as you, write to Mr Turland with their names + the course code + the times when you are all free to take the course. The more people you have in your group, the more likely it is that a course can be created at a time that suits you.

Optional Meeting

If you would like to meet the course teacher in person in Week 1 of the semester to discuss things face to face, you can do that.

Meeting time: Thursday – 1st week of semester at 14:00, room Z250

It is not necessary to go to this meeting if you don’t need to meet Mr Turland personally.
