The program is aimed at students who speak Ukrainian and English at the advanced level. In mastering the course, the students are expected to develop their written and oral communication skills in situations of professional and scientific communication. Before the course, students must know: basic linguistic terms and concepts, basic literary universals, fundamental cultural and scientific national heritage; be able to: apply the acquired speaking skills and literary studies knowledge, linguistic tools in practice; possess basic skills of scientific research and critical attitude to the analyzed phenomena.
