SPEAKING (15 min)

Speaking part consists of an English presentation of a topic from the student’s field of study (10 —12 min) and a discussion (ca.2 – 3 min).

Prior to this part of the exam, students must provide

• an abstract of 100 – 200 words
• a review of PowerPoint slides
• a list of key vocabulary (35-50 key terms of your own choice) with transcription of their pronunciation and their definitions.

Materials should be sent to pgsaj@seznam.cz 2 weeks in advance.

Here is a checklist you can use while preparing your presentation.

For pronunciation of scientific terms we recommend

• http://dictionary.reference.com/
• http://www.howjsay.com/

For transcription use IPA, i.e. International Phonetic Alphabet.
