Course objectives

- activation of grammatical structures typical for technical language,
- application of formal style in writing,

Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- understand a general economic text of intermediate difficulty level,
- discuss covered economic topics and
- orientate themselves in English economic terminology relating to the covered topics.
