Objectives

The aim of the course is the conscious development of economic text reading processes, with the help of which the participants become able to interpret and understand the types of economic texts related to daily work or studies. By mastering various reading techniques (e.g., skim reading and fast-reading), students become more confident in interpreting foreign language documents during their work and studies.
