The course develops the students' skills in working with professional scientific texts (understanding, summarising, note-taking, interpreting) while extending their general and subtechnical vocabulary range. It introduces mathematical expressions and texts of nuclear power engineering. Increasing emphasis is placed on understanding and practising formal communication, both written and oral (CV, letter of application, interview, scholarship), and more complex grammatical structures (i.e., subjunctive, indirect speech).
