Jitka Cvejnova has been teaching Czech as a second or other language since 1982 at prestigious institutions in the Czech Republic and abroad.
Cvejnov� has thoroughly revised traditional approaches to presenting the Czech language to non-native users and offers students as well as teachers a modern teaching concept which is not based on a formal, descriptive interpretation of the language but which systematically tailors the teaching material to the functional and topical competence of the learner in a given situation. Cesky, pros�m is the only Czech textbook, at the present time, which not only theoretically declares adherence to the common European language policy principles but also consequently reflects them . . . and is in compliance with the language descriptors marking the individual language acquisition levels as set in the Common European Framework for Languages. Being based upon the principles of the Common European Framework for Languages and being semantically compatible with the demands of standardized language acquisition testing, the textbook is welcome preparation for state recognized language testing. --Barbora Stindlov�, Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies, Charles University in Prague Cvejnova has thoroughly revised traditional approaches to presenting the Czech language to non-native users and offers students as well as teachers a modern teaching concept which is not based on a formal, descriptive interpretation of the language but which systematically tailors the teaching material to the functional and topical competence of the learner in a given situation.
