| Aim: The aim of the course is to develop the four language skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. The main focus will be on general scientific and technical English, but some basic terminology from the area of business and economics will also be introduced. After the course, the students should have increased their vocabulary in these areas and improved their understanding of some of the sociolinguistic concepts which are representative of these fields. Students should have reached a good level of reading comprehension and be able to summarise texts and articles both orally and in writing. Students should have reached a good level of communicative competence. |
