Students follow media reports on current events in politics and the world economy, and then are able to creatively discuss and reach agreement on the subject.
Ss keep a reading diary, where they summarize news from English-language press on subjects connected with diplomacy, politics and economy. They also prepare presentations of constitutional systems and economies of selected countries, as well as selected companies operating on the world market.
Ss also take part in arranged negociations and debates. Additionally they practise writing official and business emails and letters.
