Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course equips students with some of the skills required to cope with professional genres and gives examples of the use of English in at least two professional domains (one of them being Economics/Business Administration). Students identify key text types and their functions, as well as characteristic features of such texts. They also become aware of how they can apply this knowledge in a professional setting.

In this course students are required to submit their ELLA Portfolio, which is part of the overall course assessment.
