This document discusses the joint e-learning and blended learning language courses between the Faculty of Arts at Charles University in Prague and the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. The courses are offered in English and German at levels B1 to C1 and use the Moodle learning management system. They include online self-study lessons, face-to-face lessons, additional materials like grammar books and exercises, and testing throughout the semester both online and in class. The goals are to address the different language needs and schedules of students at the two faculties.
