Course Description:

This course concentrates on improving your writing skills and is taught and examined at CEFR level C1.

The course discusses the role of management in society by examining the application of the science of management (managerial principles) to the public sector. This new approach assumes to increase the efficiency and quality of public services and constitutes the driving force behind the ideology of managerialism. Within the shift involved, our role changes from that of citizen to customer. Students are invited to critically analyse the outcomes, future implications and ethical considerations of this shift on public services in general - and for us as citizens and recipients of public services. 

The course coaches students how to read texts critically, summarise important excerpts, structure their writing, organise paragraphs, write persuasive arguments and employ the correct register. The course further broadens students’ key vocabulary, and use of the communicative functions of language such as how to: interpret, apply, challenge, assess and create opinion on the topic of the course, whilst weaving in personal experience.
