My goals for this course!


Especially for my studypath IB&M it is not sufficient to just be able to talk english with the purpose to mantain proper conversations. Referring to my opinion it is also important to have a advanced and broad vocabulary especially at an academic english level. If you don‘t have the crucial english skills for reading business reviews or listening to lectures or symposiums which ,expect advanced academic english, you can‘t fullfil personal and academic expectations. Moreover, it is very important to keep learning, studying and improving your english skills not only for your studytime, but also for post university activities. With the international background of your education, you can be sure that you‘ll have to deal with an international surrounding as well.

In reference to this opinion, I hope I can use this course to improve my english in terms of my communicative, writing and presenting skills. 
When I evaluate my level of english dominance, I think I have to improve my grammar skills together with understanding the use of specialized terms in order to learn how to work in an international field and ambience.
