This is a module for students who have little or no prior knowledge of Czech and who wish to attain a level of competence that will allow them to communicate effectively in a number of straightforward situations. Students will also be introduced to the reading of simple texts, including works of literature, in Czech.

An increasing number of information work tasks can be conducted remotely, and many companies have indicated that they expect to remain either fully remote or adopt hybrid working after the pandemic is over. Remote work makes it even more important to communicate succinctly, creatively, and in a manner that is both engaging and informative – in ways that are appropriately tailored to the audience.

This ambitious module combines learning about how ICT affects the present and future of work with an intensive programme of communication skills training. Over the course of the teaching weeks, students will learn the fundamentals of research, exploring how people work across a range of environments. They will also become familiar with research that studies both human behaviour in the workplace and how what we know about how humans work informs machine learning and robotics. Students will also learn and discuss this material in the context of its impact on both businesses and the wider society. The module content, reading, and seminar activities, as well as communication-focused assessment, will help students develop into confident communicators in a wide variety of settings.
