Business English for Interpreters/Translators (Fall)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The aim of this course is to develop students’ confidence and ability when communicating in a formal or professional setting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this course, students will exercise their English language skills through common business situations. Students will be required to engage in a variety of in-class discussions, some role-playing activities (speaking & listening), as well as out-of-class reading & writing assignments. This course spends a great deal of time for paired, small group, and whole class discussions, so participation is crucial.
