Teaching English for Marketable Skills

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article deals with the language competences and skills needed in two types of international environments: business and academia. Following the increasing requirements on internationalizing the higher education curricula, thefundamental transferableskills we need to enter, stay in and progress in the world of workto meet the requirements employers call for as well as the increase in unemployment of university graduates over the past three years, the contribution considers to what extent the skills requirements laid out for academics and business professionals are identical as well as different. It briefly overviews some aspects of conventional language teaching and discusses some new elements which indicate potentially relevant ways that teachers of English for specific and academic purposes may develop educationally. Examples of two ESP/EAP language projects piloted at the Language Department Jaspex at Czech Technical University in Prague demonstrate which recently tested language skills are directly applicable and marketable in terms of business and academic professional environments. The paper concludes by summarising and assessing some threats and opportunities that may arise in meeting specific needs of potential employers.
