Cílem předmětu English Conversation 2 je obnovení a prohloubení základních znalostí a schopností studentů v používání anglického jazyka a současně též sjednocení znalostí a schopností studentů tak, aby byli připraveni na jejich rozšíření v prostředí obchodní angličtiny. Náplní předmětu English Conversation je zopakování a rozšíření slovní zásoby a znalostí v oblasti anglické gramatiky s důrazem na praktické uplatnění v běžných společenských konverzačních situacích, v nichž se studenti mohou ocitnout jak v osobním, tak zejména v pracovním životě.
