The course familiarizes students with academic English, emphasizing terminology in speech therapy and related sciences (such as audiology) through didactic use of international literature. More specifically, appropriately selected publications (articles, books, etc.) and other material (e.g., corpora of texts) are utilized through which students practice studying and summarizing English-language texts. Also, students become better in translation, interpretation/explanation, and the use of vocabulary that constitutes the language of the relevant health sciences at an international level. The individual modules of the course cover all specialization subjects of the Study Program.
