The content of the study towards the Bachelor degree includes the completion of a complex of linguistic and literary scholarly disciplines and the passing of a course in teaching methodology with emphasis on the resulting language skills of the graduate. The linguistic disciplines aim at creating in the students a complex of knowledge about the contemporary English language system. The objective of literary scholarly disciplines is the cultivation of the perception of literary texts and of the ability to relevantly analyze and interpret them. This also involves the development of the students´ ability to formulate their ideas, as well as to present them in a well-argued way. The literary disciplines and cultural studies also aim at increasing the students´ awareness of the variety of cultures and acceptation of their otherness. The objective of the introductory course in the methodology of teaching English is to acquaint the students with the foundations of teaching methodology. In the area of teaching the language, the stress will be on a systematic development of all four language skills so that the graduate of the Bachelor study shall achieve the higher advanced level (at least the C1+ level) and shall be able to express himself/herself in correct, fluent and cultivated English both in the written and spoken form. The study programme is designed as a first step in preparation for the teacher’s profession. By means of the teachers propedeutics, didactics and orientation practise and its reflection, it motivates the graduates of the B.A. study programme to choose the follow-up M.A. programme intended for future teachers.
