Learning Objectives:

In order for students to achieve their employability goals, they need to improve their knowledge of the
English language as it is used in the workplace and also develop key skills for the international
workplace. At the same time, higher education is becoming more and more international and English
also plays a key role in the academic world. The OST English Language Programme therefore takes a
skills-focused approach which is designed to help students become successful communicators in
professional, workplace, situations as well as in academic settings. Its systematic development of key
language skills will also help prepare them for internationally recognised external exams.
EPC1 offers students an introduction to professional communication in English at ALTE level B2+. It
covers a variety of language and skills training which students can immediately use in the workplace
and for their studies, whilst also developing essential communication skills and focuses on the kind of
linguistic accuracy which is needed to perform well in professional settings.
