<objectives>Note:
The modules &quot;Business Communication and Intercultural Competence&quot;, &quot;Technical Reading and Writing&quot;, as well as &quot;Professional Presentations&quot; should be seen in conjunction with one another. They offer students a framework to further develop their English language skills in a professionally related area from the desired entry level B1 to level B2.

About the &quot;Technical Reading and Writing&quot; module:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with different reading strategies and will be able to apply them to course-specific specialist texts. They will have extended their repertoire of linguistic structures and will be able to apply these structures to the written elaboration of technical questions and documents.</objectives>

- Techniques for taking notes
- Summarizing texts
