Nobody argues that language knowledge is very important nowadays. It is not only reliable basis for
better communication, but today it is also the source of technological progress as it enables rapid exchange
of information and research of common global problems. The development of language skills aims at active
expansion of students’ proficiency in English. Language classes at a higher school always make use of the
texts of specific professional areas (architecture, business, civil engineering, electronics, environment,
management, etc.). Such texts should usually be focused on the communicative needs of the students of a
certain higher school. However, teaching/learning ESP includes much more than the teaching of English
through specific material and content. Teaching ESP combines development of linguistic skills together with
the acquisition of specific information. Even homework assignment should be associated both with the
speciality and with the skills mentioned. Active participation in various interdisciplinary cooperative
programmes on the international level requires academic knowledge, scientific competence and objective
evaluation of new ideas. The knowledge of English facilitates the access to the resources of new information.
Students and teachers are given opportunities to study or to teach for some period at the most prominent
schools abroad. Teaching languages is aimed at raising the quality of language studies and of higher
education as well.
