Therefore, the course is built on assessment of purposes, needs and the functions for which English is required. It covers subjects varying from Mathematics to Information Technology, and its focal point is that English is not taught as a subject separated from the students' real world or wishes; instead, it is integrated into a subject matter area important to the learners and will enable them to apply what they learn in English classes to their main field of study. Course content is selected, designed and organized to cover a wide range of contemporary specialist issues and focuses on the task/job specific vocabulary and the development of English language communication skills customized according to the required sector, i.e., Maths and IT. It will enable students to feel more confident when preparing mid-term projects and writing their theses. Moreover, this course content ensures that students will be able to function effectively in an English-speaking environment in their future work.Within the course, students are supposed to complete home assignments and do tests of various formats to check reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills as well as vocabulary and grammar usage. By the end of the course, students will gain the skills and confidence to communicate effectively in professional English at the C1-C2 level.
