Università Roma Tre

The course is designed to provide students of Economics and Big Data with a deep understanding of English as applied to economic, financial, and corporate contexts. Through the study of the designated course textbook, supplemented by authentic articles and grammatical support from Raymond Murphy’s "English Grammar in Use", the course aims to develop students’ comprehension and production skills in both spoken and written English for professional and academic settings.

The course will follow the units of Market Leader – Upper Intermediate (2011), exploring key topics in economic language and communication practices in the business world. Students will become familiar with essential vocabulary and linguistic structures necessary for interacting in international contexts, writing professional reports and emails, understanding market analysis, and participating in negotiations and academic discussions.

The course will be structured into thematic modules based on the textbook units, with complementary activities to reinforce grammar and practical language use.
