Course objectives

Language II/1 extends the knowledge of general language gained in the preparatory courses Language II/A and Language II/B and pays particular attention to the specialized language of economics seen as a basis of successful and effective communication.
In the course students practise their ability to understand specialized texts,
identify and interpret their main ideas and translate them into the mother tongue with the use of a dictionary.
Students learn to role-play conversations in business situations and master basic types of business correspondence.
