Objectives

The course prepares students for communication required for employment from a beginner’s level, but also teaches vocabulary associated with everyday life. The course focuses on improving verbal and written communication, em-bedded in a workplace setting.

Academic results

Knowledge

Skills
  1. • The students are able to communicate in simpler everyday and professional situations, such as getting to know their colleagues, daily schedule, workplace programmes, • they understand very basic workplace conversations in person or on the telephone, • they are able to answer simple, routine emails.
Attitude
  1. • They are open to communication in the target language,
  2. • they accept the intercultural differences of workplace communication.
Independence and responsibility
  1. • The students check their homework independently, using an answer sheet, • they expand their vocabulary independently, • they take responsibility for improving their language competence.

Teaching methodology

During the learning process students often work in pairs or groups to give them more opportunity to practice their speaking skills. We only use authentic audio materials and videos to teach the correct pronunciation. Since independent work and continuous studying are integral elements of the higher education studies, the learning process during this course is faster, therefore completing the course requires more independent work.
