Czech (with Slovak) - Final Honour School
The Year Abroad in the Czech Republic
The third year is normally spent abroad. Most students taking two languages divide their time between the Czech Republic and a country appropriate for their other language.
We have recently established a successful Erasmus exchange with Masaryk University, Brno.
Students may also find work placements, or teach English at school or college level. Some have taught in schools as Comenius Assistants (a scheme offered through the British Council).
Past work opportunities have also included short internships with the English service of Radio Prague.
Students will sometimes combine more than one of these possibilities. It is essential that students throughout this year continue to read daily in Czech as well as speaking to build up their fluency – and that they consistently maximise their exposure to the Czech language generally, through radio, TV, films, DVDs etc. as well as through their personal contacts.
