Summary
The impact of globalisation to the contemporary system of higher education cannot be underestimated. The social demand to the level of English of non-linguistic specialities increases, meaning that knowledge of general English per se is not enough anymore, bringing us to the necessity of teaching professional language. Our educational society faces the problem: the English language is not regarded as an entrance exam to technical specialities, and the level of it is rather diverse between students. Learning professional language can become a challenge for some of freshmen. An intensive correction course may be helpful to even the knowledge of the general English language. Considering that the amount of workload, for students as well as the teachers, is incredibly high, the additional course cannot be included into the curriculum, but can be based on the intensive and skilful use of information and communication technologies (ICT)
