The discipline refers to the variable educational tracks offered to students of the curricula for Bachelor's and Specialist's degrees of choice while mastering the elective course of English in accordance with the Conceptual Framework for Developing Students’ Foreign Language Competence in Bachelor’s, Specialist’s, and Master’s Degree Programmes at National Research University Higher School of Economics. “English for General Communication Purposes.

Throughout the course, students are provided with multiple opportunities to work on the four major skills such as listening, reading, writing and speaking, through in-person interaction as well as online work.

Students will learn how to write a variety of texts (emails and summaries). Students will also hone their reading and listening skills by reading extensively both authentic and adapted texts and listening to a variety of audiovisual resources that may include, but are not limited to, podcasts, videos and everyday conversations.
