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.

Academic results

Knowledge
  1. After completing the course, students can distinguish between the types of technical texts (e. g, annual report, income statement, economic articles) and their register.
  2. Students become aware of the reading strategies they have used so far.
  3. Students recognize which language structures make it difficult for them to understand a text and become aware of them.
Skills
  1. Students can deduce the meaning of a word from the context without knowing the word itself.
  2. They can successfully apply the reading strategies used in the mother tongue to the foreign language.
  3. Students will acquire vocabulary development strategies that allow them to read between the lines.
  4. By mastering speed reading, students can increase their reading speed and thus become more effective in their study and career.
Attitude
  1. The student actively participates in the discussion of economic texts and seeks to deepen his / her knowledge of the current topic as much as possible with his / her critical remarks.
  2. He/she continuously expands his/her vocabulary by reading economic articles and websites.
Independence and responsibility
  1. Students should keep track of and be ready to report briefly on daily economic news.
  2. Students can work on more complex economic documents (e.g., annual plan) that require longer pro-cessing times on their own.

Teaching methodology

In addition to individual reading and comprehension tasks, pair work and group work are also used in class to increase students' speaking time. We also perform tasks that help increase the speed of reading texts and improve memory strategies.

Materials supporting learning

  • Economic texts tailored to students ’needs and interests, as well as tasks that develop reading skills and strategies.
