Main results

The most important result of the project is the increased level of professional linguistic and methodological qualifications of the academic workers at the Department of Foreign Languages and the improvement of doctoral students' professional language skills at the FEEC and FIT.

Another result is the creation of electronic materials which contain a large amount of specialized texts and methods and thus support the main result mentioned above. The electronic materials are not open to the public. They are kept safe in the protected e-learning zone of the Department of Foreign Languages.
