- Course objectives
- The course is assigned for students of biology who want to improve their knowledge of English. The main aim is to enlarge biologically- related vocabulary, improve students ability to speak about and discuss professional (biological) topics. Last but not least the course should prepare students of biology to present results at an international scientific conference, workshop etc.
