Objectives
The focus of the subject is expanding the knowledge base of the use and context of English in today’s globalized world. It aims to introduce and raise awareness of research related to the language use features of English in the world of academia and professional contexts. On the one hand, it raises awareness of the specificities of academic language use while familiarising students with the typical genres of economic and business life in a multicultural context.
