This is the first level of the English program for International Business. This course is designed for students who have placed in level A2.2 of the CEF as demonstrated by their performance in the placement test. These students possess a basic knowledge of English and need to develop and extend this knowledge as International Business majors. This level focuses on developing the four linguistic skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening with an emphasis on vocabulary related to the area of International Business.


3. Rationale.
Globalization has brought many challenges that all professionals need to face in order to be more competitive and marketable. Among these challenges is the need to adopt a foreign language that would facilitate communication within the international environment at a professional and personal level. The Instituto de Idiomas has designed this Business English program for students in the International Business program in order to contribute to their intellectual, professional and cultural development through English.


4. Course goal.
This course provides students with a general introduction to Business themes while developing their communicative competence in English in the four linguistic skills—listening, reading, speaking, and writing.
