COURSE
MATERIAL:
·
Karamitroglou, F. 2008. Essential Business Terminology
for Native Speakers of Greek.
ASSESSMENT:
·
1 Final Exam, consisting of questions on
terminology and translation drills (based
on the material discussed in class).
OBJECTIVES:
Anchored on a set of texts from all fields of business for
specialised vocabulary purposes, this module aims to familiarise students with
essential terms and key-expressions used in professional and academic business
writings. Through a series of carefully chosen extracts and ensuing
terminological discussions, students learn to understand, decode and reproduce
texts rich in dedicated business vocabulary. Clearly targeting perspective
professionals and/or postgraduate students, this module is designed to unveil
the phrasing and content of real-life material used in daily business
circumstances and expose a range of basic terms that appear in academic
textbooks. At the end of this module, students will be able to perform
interlingual business tasks from/into English and Greek – as assigned by
employers and dictated by the market – and attend business-related postgraduate
courses in Greece or abroad with more ease and less linguistic hindrance.
