I am thrilled to say that the University of Kansas offers two years of beginning and intermediate Czech online in 2019-2020. Starting in January 2020, the second semester of introductory Czech (CZCH 108) is open to students with previous instruction or heritage knowledge of Czech, at the equivalent of either one or two semesters. Intermediate Czech (CZCH 208) accepts students with previous instruction of Czech for three or more semesters. The classes are taught by Dr. Mila Saskova-Pierce and meet twice a week for synchronous instruction using ZOOM platform. Free textbook, texts and other pedagogical materials are available in Blackboard or word format.
The courses follow the ACTFL format, the five Cs, as well as the Common European Framework of Languages (CEFR), which is the European Proficiency Assessment.
The classes accept university students as well as independent learners. At the end of the four semesters students should be able to perform on the ACTFL intermediate level of speaking and writing proficiency as well as of reading and listening comprehension.
Students who have studied Czech previously are welcome. If you are interested, please contact the KU Admission Office at https://admissions.ku.edu/. You may also contact the instructor by phone or email at: mila_saskova-pierce1@ku.edu OR 402-770-4624.
