Course Syllabus
Abstract
"English for Specific Purposes. Applied Mathematics - 3" is a course which aligns with your major in Applied Mathematics and successfully integrates the topics necessary for your field into your language learning. It will provide you with extensive practice and expand your vocabulary and language skills, required for both work and studies. The course covers a wide variety of areas, such as linear algebra, mathematical analysis, probability theory and mathematical statistics, numerical algorithms, programming, neural networks, etc. By the end of this course, you will be able to read professional literature in English, understand lectures and talks on professional topics, work with technical documentation in English, present your knowledge and yourself at a group case interview, speak about the main tools and processes of Maths in English, communicate with your colleagues and classmates about your professional interests. The course is highly recommended for students who aim to pursue a career in the international environment of scientific research, finance, data science, data analytics, information technology, and many others spheres. Whether you want to communicate with potential employers, co-workers, partners or clients, advanced English communication skills can help you achieve your professional goals more effectively.
Learning Objectives
- To improve students’ command of English for professional communication.
- To enhance receptive and productive skills related to specific purposes.
- To expand students’ knowledge of technical vocabulary in their field of study.
- To expand students’ knowledge of grammar structures used in their professional area.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Students can follow a discussion on matters related to the field of study; understand in detail the points given prominence by the speaker.
- Students can follow the essentials of lectures, talks and reports and other forms of academic/professional presentation which are propositionally and linguistically complex.
- Students can give a clear, well-structured presentation of a complex subject, expanding and supporting points of view at some length with subsidiary points, reasons and relevant examples.
- Students can give instructions on carrying out a series of complex professional or academic procedures.
- Students can participate in a group case interview, expanding and developing the point being discussed fluently without any support, and handling interjections well.
- Students can take a series of follow up questions with a degree of fluency and spontaneity which poses no strain for either him/herself or the audience.
- Students can understand and use appropriately the range of technical vocabulary and idiomatic expressions common to their area of specialisation.
- Students can understand in detail lengthy, complex texts related to their area of specialisation.
- Students can use a range of subject specific grammatical structures appropriately and with considerable flexibility.
- Students can write a review with appropriate highlighting of significant points and relevant supporting details.
- Students write a motivation letter with appropriate register, structure and conventions.

Assessment Elements
- Written assessmentWritten assessment is conducted in the classroom and cannot be part of homework. Written assessment includes three written assignments: one review of an article, one review of a video-lecture or an interview and one motivation letter. The elements of written assessment cannot be retaken.
- Oral assessmentOral assessment is conducted in the classroom and cannot be part of homework. Oral assessment includes a presentation with a Q&A session, a group case interview and a pronunciation test on commonly mispronounced words and phrases. The elements of oral assessment cannot be retaken.
- Independent workIndependent work includes home assignments and tests. Home assignments are assessed as follows: 1 point – the student has submitted all the home assignments before the deadline. 0 points - not all the tasks have been submitted or the student has missed the deadline. The sum of all points students have received is converted into the 10-point grading scale proportionally. Vocabulary and grammar tests are conducted in the test simulator in Smart LMS. Students have three attempts to complete the test, and the best test result is considered to be his/her score for the test. Each vocabulary and grammar test contains 20 vocabulary and 20 grammar questions. The test must be completed in 30 minutes. For each correct answer the student gets 0.25 points and the maximum for a test is 10 points. The final score for vocabulary and grammar tests is the mean of seven tests. The elements of independent work cannot be retaken.
- Final TestThe final test is held in class within more than 10 days before the exam period. The final test includes one written assignment (a video-lecture review). The final test can be retaken if a student missed it for a valid reason. The absence must be documented (e.g. doctor’s confirmation).
