Content

The course is divided into two parts: oral skills and written skills. During the course, each participant plans a fictive project related to its own interest or study field. This project serves as a frame of reference for the own writing assignments and oral presentations. Oral exercises are done in pairs and in small groups. The written part consists of reading and analyzing business letters and the writing own ones. The texts produced in the course replace the final exam.
