Cíle předmětu
The optional course Basics of Business English 2 is a follow-up course to BBE 1, reviewing the so far covered topics and introducing students to the language of further areas of business and economics, as well as explaining the corresponding concepts. The theoretical focus is on the characteristic linguistic properties of the language of business and economics; the practical focus is on enhancing students ability to understand authentic business texts, as well as to use the correct lexical and grammatical structures of this occupational variety of English. Differences between English and Czech terminologies will be discussed to eliminate mistakes stemming from different composition or motivation of naming units in the respective terminologies, differing degrees of polysemy, synonymy, condensation, etc.
At the end of this course, students will have improved their ability to understand and express business and economic concepts in English, particularly in the fields of marketing, promotion, management, banking and insurance, public finance and taxation.
