Abstract
The discipline is the second part of the Basic English Course for General Communication Purposes, designed for students of all educational programs of the first year of study at the Higher School of Economics who speak English at the B1 – B1+ level.
The purpose of the course is to develop students' foreign language communicative competence at least at the B2 level, which will ensure practical command of English for the purposes of interpersonal and intercultural communication. Discussing modern achievements and problems of the global world, reading authentic texts on current issues will allow students to develop the ability to express their opinions on various topics.

Important tasks for the development of oral and written language competencies are the formation of skills to produce clear and logical oral monologue presentations, write a logical and coherent paragraph, make a written description of two types of graphs (line graph and bar chart) and write two types of essays (opinion essay and advantages/ disadvantages essay).
