Students will acquire complex language skills, they will be able to use terminology related to the course topics, so that they will be able to apply them once they are working as managing professionals within an international working environment. A student will be able to discuss discoveries and inventions (smart wells, lasers) using the present perfect continuous tense, learn to use terminology appropriate for describing a product´s specifications and properties, and also write a product recall report using the correct terms. As part of the course, students also work with online lecture modules created for selected professional texts according to the faculty's focus and thus develop their knowledge of terminology in their field.
