Course objectives
The objectives of this course are:
1. Improve oral and written expression and comprehension.2. Be able to transfer information obtained in written and oral form into oral format (not a translation, but a transfer of data from one linguistic skill to another).3. Acquire rapid reading skills, for example, efficiently searching for information on the Internet.4. Make students sufficiently autonomous in reading scientific texts.5. Provide students with the necessary tools for learning pronunciation and vocabulary related to their fields.6. Focus on linguistic points closely related to the communication skills needed for scientists. - Prerequisites
