English language 2

Lecturers and associates:


Martina Stadnik, Lecturer

Module overview:


The objective of this module is to enable students to:
• use correct professional terminology in business conversations
• use complex grammar structures in business conversations

This module builds upon the foundations of the language laid in the module ‘English language 1’ from the first semester. It teaches students the correct English professional (design) terminology in more detail as well as about complex grammar structures used in different business situations.

It is important for students to take this module in order to become confident users of English language. This module will expose students to a particular experience when dealing with different business situations, both in written and oral form. It greatly contributes to the overall skillset in their future designs, but also in their future places of employment.
