The purpose of this curriculum is to structure the course „Foreign Language: Specialized Translation”, 1-st year of study, 2 semester, in accordance with the framework of the national university curriculum.

Language teaching for specific purposes is an important component of higher education, which is essential because we are now part of a much wider international context than in the past. It is the current context that determines the need to know as many languages as possible, so as to make it possible to graduate as harmoniously as possible in the domestic and international labor market and interact with other specialists from various European countries, and not only in the field each of them will activate. Without a thorough knowledge of a foreign language, the quality of students' scientific training can also decrease significantly, in the context in which the great discoveries and research in various fields are now communicated and published especially in English.

               Based on the above, the current curriculum defines all learning - teaching - assessment activities that are carried out during the academic year and focuses on three behavioral levels with varying degrees of complexity: knowledge, application and integration. - The level of knowledge involves the accumulation of knowledge and basic concepts; the application involves the training of skills and the development of competencies that are typical of the discipline concerned; integration entails the formation of taking decision capabilities and transfer of knowledge and critical skills in situations with a high degree of complexity.
