To be able to communicate successfully in a specific subject area, one needs general English as well as subject-specific language and communication skills.  Accordingly, the course English in logistics 1 focuses on developing logistics and transport vocabulary and business communication skills.  Lectures are dedicated to developing writing, speaking, listening and reading skills through the exploration of authentic materials and case studies. Vocabulary and communication skills are developed in the framework of the following topics: history and development of logistics, careers in logistics and modes of transport (road, rail, air and water).
Although the main focus of the course is development of business vocabulary and communication skills, we will also revise and further develop knowledge and use of fundamental grammatical structures, including English verb tenses, adjectives and adverbs, modal verbs and relative clauses.
Vocabulary and skills gained in this course will prove useful to students who will engage in business communication in organisations involved in international transport of goods and services or international business.

will allow students to solve practical problems of the profession in the areas of mechatronics systems. Students will upgrade their knowledge gained from lectures with tutorials exercises and laboratory work.
