Through films, poems, and short stories, students encounter language in context while also exploring global perspectives on economic themes.By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in economic English and the confidence to use it effectively in both academic and professional settings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div style=\"--awb-backgroundcolor:rgba(255,255,255,0);\"
