Communication skills
Objectives
The students should realise that written and oral communication in foreign languages, i.e. English, German and French, are very important in business life nowadays. Therefore they should be able to:
-understand a text correctly;
-understand what is being said;
-put something into words correctly.
The reading, listening, speaking and writing skills are practised and tested by means of practical exercises.
Concretely this means that the students should be able to:
-understand and use branch-oriented (specialised) vocabulary;
-understand articles and/or texts about technical and scientific subjects;
-apply grammatical rules;
-express themselves in different business situations.
