Learning outcomes:
The “English I, II and III” modules are to be seen in conjunction with one another. The goal is for the students to develop their foreign language skills from entry level B1 of the European Framework of Reference to level B2 in work-related English within the course of the three modules.
 
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will have improved their speaking, writing and listening comprehension skills. They will know how to design and formulate business documents and presentations (in the context of their specific subject).
 
They will be able to express themselves in the foreign language according to the respective situation and will have the vocabulary required to do so. To this end, they will have recapitulated and extended their knowledge of relevant grammatical structures and linguistic peculiarities.
