During the class, there were considered the key aspects of English writing in professional communication, in particular, written speech as a means of professional communication was highlighted; the development of its skills in English classes and supporting aspects of improvement were outlined; genres of professional self-presentation were represented (resume, cover letter, motivation letter). The lecturer paid special attention to defining basic definitions, the structure of professional self-presentation texts, tips for creating them and the possibilities of using them, as well as outlining typical mistakes that should be avoided in the writing process. The combination of theoretical provisions with practical examples and exercises ensured the effective perception of the educational material.
