Overview<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Students need to be fluent in English to compete in today\u2019s world. English is the lingua franca in communication around the world as well as in science (Van Parijs, 2011). While basic reading, grammar and vocabulary skills are needed at first, active communication skills like speaking and writing are key to success in academia and in the industry. This is supported by research, which has suggested that writing is one of the most difficult language skills to learn (Barkaoui, 2007), and writing skills should be taught to students early on in university education (Craig, 2012). The importance of academic writing becomes clear as research has shown a correlation between poorly written articles and article rejection rates (Coates, Sturgeon, Bohannan, & Pasini, 2002; Salager-Meyer, 2008). This, along with the fact that in terms of oral communication, research has shown that experience and exposure to oral practice relieves anxiety associated with communicating in English (Liu, 2006).<\/p>\r\n

In addition, both UNESCO and the OECD have developed principles to 21st century learning skills. The Malag\u2019s recent reform decisions regarding learning English are based, in part, on such skills that young professionals will need to succeed in an English-dominated, international business environment.<\/p>\r\n

Therefore, below we present the existing courses which are already helping students reach these aims of English proficiency and English professionalization. The list includes several courses that are clearly lacking, leaving a gap in students\u2019 knowledge and abilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
