After successfully completing this module, students will have addressed additional issues relevant to them in their future professional lives: They will be able to write CVs and application letters and have the communication skills for job interviews (in a subject-related context).
 
By working on their first specialized texts, students will have expanded their vocabulary relevant to their field of study as well as recapitulated and improved their knowledge of grammatical structures and linguistic peculiarities. They will be able to apply strategies for detailed and global text comprehension.
