Poklidné svátky a šťastný rok 2024!
Centrum jazykového vzdělávání MU věnuje finance, které by vynaložilo na tisk novoročních přání, organizaci Člověk v tísni.
"Více než jen kurz angličtiny." Účastnice letní školy EDUC vyzdvihuje kvality CJV
"Jakmile jsme přijeli, začli jsme si říkat proč všichni při návštěvě České republiky vlastně jezdí do Prahy?" říká Sarah Blum, knihovnice z mediálního centra University of Potsdam. Z týdne stráveného v moravské metropoli vyzdvihuje zejména různorodost přednášek v rámci letní školy, setkání s kolegy, objevování Brna a celkový přístup CJV. Více v recenzi níže.
"Working in the media centre of a language centre (Mediothek) requires some understanding and knowledge of different languages, right? Since I work with many English native speakers, I actually use English quite frequently. But somehow over the years I became a little less fluent, and so I decided to participate in a refresher course organized by our EDUC-partner Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. The course was funded by the EU and in cooperation with the EDUC Alliance.
Despite the pandemic, MUNI (Masaryk University Brno) was able to organize a week of on-site classes for us, the staff of different partner universities across Europe. Once we arrived, we really started wondering why everyone always goes to Prague when visiting the Czech Republic. Brno is a gem, the second biggest city of the country, not even hidden and it is just fantastic. Its eclectic architecture, ranging from medieval to Art Nouveau, Bauhaus and Brutalist styles, merges elegantly to give the city its unique appearance. German, Jewish, Slavic and Roma heritage have left their traces everywhere in town. And who is actually responsible for the oh-so-vibrant atmosphere? It’s the extremely high percentage of students–almost a quarter of the population; half native and half international students (around 80,000 in total)–contribute significantly to nightlife and the cultural scene.
After a very warm welcome, Libor Štěpánek (head of MUNI Language Centre) and his dedicated team of teachers and administrative staff introduced our group (from Italy, France, Hungary and Germany) to their institution and to an impressive schedule full of different lectures and cultural/social events for the upcoming week..."
