It provides an introduction into English for Specific and Academic Purposes (ESP, EAP), i.e., into the fundamentals of vocabulary, functions, grammar, and style typical of professional oral and written communication situations (fundamentals of terms in mathematics and physics, definitions, graph descriptions, etc). It also covers professional oral and written communication on topics related to the undergraduate´s life and needs. It develops skills for free professional writing (writing a CV, letter of application, polite request). If necessary, revision of selected grammar topics is included.
