COURSE DESCRIPTION
English for Accountants is specifically designed to fulfill students’ needs of English in accounting and finance to communicate in a
variety of situations with colleagues and business partners. Nowadays, the paradigm of teaching English for specific purposes has
shifted from grammar oriented to communicative competence of the language. Therefore, ESP learners should be well-equipped
with a lot of practices of the language skills, i.e. reading, speaking, writing, and listening, instead of the language structure.
Through this course, students will learn the language related to accounting as well as ways to achieve their goals in meetings, in
presentations, on the telephone, or when making small talk.
