| This course has a twofold objective:
1. It aims at developing all four language skills as far as general, as well as vocationally relevant language is concerned. It offers a wide range of activities such as reading and writing activities, listening comprehension exercises and role-plays. This course is designed to help students express themselves on a wide-range of subjects and in situations that are specific to the business world.
2. It also aims at introducing students to scientific vocabulary and consolidating those language structures which are essential to understanding scientific texts. |
