Aim of the course

The aim of the course is for the student to acquire knowledge of the English language at the B1+ level according to the European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of the English language at the B1 level.

Scope

Realized within the course are the following topics:

1. Developing listening and speaking, reading, and writing skills at the B1/B1+ level in everyday situations.

2. Mastery of grammatical structures used to express the present, past, and future.

3. Expanding the cultural and civilizational component focused on the lifestyle in English-speaking countries.

4. Introduction of technical and specialist language in the field of management and production engineering.

5. Choosing a career: criteria for choosing a career, characteristics of technical professions.

6. Organizations in business: entrepreneurs, types of enterprises, organization of work and scope of duties.

7. Production and production management systems.

8. Logistics management in enterprises.

Teaching methods

  1. Case-based learning: This approach involves analyzing real-world case studies related to management and production engineering. It helps students develop problem-solving skills and apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations.

  2. Project-based learning: Students work on projects related to management and production engineering, such as developing a production plan for a hypothetical product or improving the efficiency of a manufacturing process. This approach helps students gain hands-on experience and develop teamwork and communication skills.

  3. Discussions which can provide an overview of key concepts and theories and encourage critical thinking and the exchange of ideas. Inviting guest speakers from industry can also provide valuable insights and perspectives.

  4. Simulations and role-plays: Simulations and role-plays can help students understand complex concepts and develop problem-solving and decision-making skills. For example, students can simulate a production process and make decisions on inventory management and quality control.

  5. Technology-based learning: Technology can be used to provide interactive and engaging learning experiences, such as virtual simulations and online quizzes. It can also provide access to industry-specific software and tools used in management and production engineering.
