- Course objectives
- The goal is to combine the theoretical assumptions of verbal communication, both verbal and written along with the skills applied in commercial practice in the English language (level - B 2.2 - C 1.1-intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate). Attention will be paid to developing the skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing English in the business, understanding the context of business situations and cognitive processes related to them, extending the vocabulary of professional language and knowledge of grammatical structures. The objectives will be achieved through a wide range of different types of communication exercises with graded levels of difficulty, all-round analysis of authentic texts with current professional topics, and will also include case studies focused on different thematic units. Selected skills are applicable only within a given subject, but also occupy a pivotal position in relation to lifelong learning.
