eng	Routes and destinations: at an intersection of research findings	The presentation aims to introduce the routes, which twenty selected students followed in the course of their lives when learning English, in relation to the destinations they reached till the onset of university education. The routes are provided in the form of individual profiles building both on quantitative and qualitative data. The destinations are described using the outcomes of multiple analyses including holistic evaluation of their overall performance in pronunciation and individual pronunciation profiles; assessing their use of particular grammatical structures; and showing their ability to perform a natural spoken discourse. As a result, twenty portraits of Czech learners of English were formed and grouped on the basis of shared characteristics. Sample portraits will be presented during the talk.	individual learning histories; spoken English; quantitative and qualitative assessment; communicative language competences
