Learning outcomes
The English language course develops written and verbal communication skills essential for management and promotion. Based on an assessment of individual proficiency levels, group work is tailored to address the needs and linguistic abilities of each student. Grammar is gradually reinforced, and the stylistics of the English language are explored through the analysis of assigned texts?both specialized and more general?from the fields of culture, creativity, and creation. Group work focuses on fluency of expression and teaches students to respond flexibly in practice scenarios inspired by cultural operations. The course is enriched with information and updates from the fields of study. A partial component involves improving students? written communication skills. The knowledge gained from this course enables students to participate in international mobility programs, publicly present and defend their projects, or attend courses taught in English.
The acquired competencies represent the mastery and application of knowledge in the given field, based on the specific course description and aimed at fulfilling the graduate profile.
