An innovated English course with a particular focus on the development of the students' verbal and written skills and their further professional application within the wider framework of both the Czech and the European job markets. The central elements of the course consist in practising business meetings and negotiations, written document completion, informal communication and activities designed to describe and question European cultures in comparison with the Czech Republic. Within the wider course framework, there are two notions that should be pointed out, namely the overview of the European union institutions and the introduction to English as the key providing access to education and jobs to Czech and Moravian university graduates. Coursework is based on panel discussion, opinion presentation, interpretation of written and audiovisual sources, homework presentation and discussion, language games.
