The aim of the subject is to prepare students for communication situations in a workplace and for conscious management communication in a foreign language. The subject provides students with the communication strategies, techniques and language tools necessary for leadership roles to communicate more effectively in monologic and dialogic situations.

1. The students know the basic characteristics of managerial communication, its varieties, structures and linguistic forms.
2. They know some basic managerial communication strategies, text genres and speech intentions that they can consciously apply in certain workplace situations.
3. They know linguistic and non-linguistic tools that make managerial communication more effective.
4. They understand the communication challenges associated with leadership roles.
5. They are aware of the issues stem from different communication styles and know some conflict management techniques.

1. They will be able to apply the leadership strategies they learn in the course to different communication or speaking situations in the workplace.
2. They can express certain speech intentions in monologic texts (e.g. presentations) and in dialogic situations (e.g. small talk, business negotiations), with respect to the target language and culture-specific features.
3. They consciously use sophisticated linguistic tools (idiomatic expressions, high register, complex grammatical structures) and non-linguistic elements (stress, pronunciation, intonation, etc.) appropriate to these situations.
4. They effectively apply communication techniques for conflict management in workplace situations; they ca give feedback on the performance of others.

1. Cooperate with fellow students, respecting the opinions and views of others.
2. They are constructive and respectful of different points of view when working in groups, learning or working.
3. They are committed to continuous development and self-development in management communication.

1. They are able to critically assess their own management communication style and are open to feedback.
2. When working in a group, they mobilise their theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in an autonomous way, in cooperation with (or sometimes guiding) the other members of the group.

We primarily use cooperation as a teaching method during the course. When working in pairs or in groups, during the continuous interaction, the students have plenty of opportunity to talk and discuss certain topics.
