Abstract

English for International Affairs and Business aims at shaping the communicative and professional competence in English that underlies the language and professional development of a BA (Bachelor of Arts) majoring in Economics and International Affairs. The communicative and professional competence in English implies an ability to interact in English in the context of cross-cultural professional communication.This course offers two sub-courses: English for International Business and English for Political Studies. Language skills that lead to the competence in English being shaped are developed when studying authentic texts on a wide range of professionally relevant topics. This allows students to acquire knowledge on topical issues related to international affairs, politics and business. Due to instruction techniques, learning is practice-oriented.
