In "Argumentation, Communication and Critical Reading", you will develop skills needed throughout your English studies as well as in professional and private contexts after you graduate.
The course offers you the chance to become a yet more proficient user of spoken English, and to express yourself appropriately, correctly, easily and confidently, particularly in discussions, talks and meetings. This includes working at contrastive aspects of pronunciation and honing the rhetorical and argumentational skills to describe complex interrelationships and diverse, perhaps even controversial, perspectives. In the critical reading component, you will practise techniques that help you to grasp the main points of academic texts quickly and accurately.
