General description

This ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course focuses on the cognitive functions most commonly used in technical English, i.e. classifying, defining, describing, giving instructions and expressing conditions and hypotheses. Students will be exposed to a wide range of ICT texts and explanations of the most important textual, grammatical and terminological conventions will be provided. By the end of the course students should be able to understand what they read and listen to and they should be able to speak and write about topics related to their field.
