Economics:
Scientific and Linguistic Approach.
To
teach economics students to think about economy in terms of price indexes,
graphs and economic cycles, they should know all peculiarities and subtleties
of this subject not only by hear – say, but from the authentic and reliable
sources. Our libraries and book stores have an innumerable number of different
books, economic reviews, business bulletins at students’ disposal from which
they can get valuable information on various aspects of economy such as: small
business, marketing, management, accounting, statistics, banking, etc. A lot of
banking and financial terms and notions used worldwide will be comprehended,
learnt and later applied to solve our sore national economic and financial
problems first theoretically in the seminar room and then this knowledge will
be implemented in practice [1].
Some of
the economic terms are rather complicated as they don’t exist in our domestic
banking sphere, but, nevertheless, future bankers and business people should
know the latest trends in this affair. The matter is that and it is a common
knowledge that most of business and financial transaction are made
electronically and information is overwhelmed by special terminology. It goes
without saying that without perfect knowledge of special terms, abbreviations
and even slang it will be impossible to conduct business effectively.
At
first, all these terms should be understood through explanations and only then
put into practice with the help of different situations, business cases,
dialogs or reports. In this respect, advertisements of various goods are very
helpful. For example such terms as: promotion, bill board, advertise, discount,
etc. will help future specialists to advertise their goods and services at the
international market. Such terms as: wholesale, retail, assets, transaction,
standby letter of credit and a lot of others can be used to deepen and increase
their knowledge in banking and financial field [2].
The
study of bank’s organization and structure can also help to form the economic
outlook of our students. It is well – known that the majority of the western
banks are divided in the following divisions: banking, treasury,
administrative, financial information systems and corporation divisions. Each
of these departments has different services which bring financial success not
only to the bank itself but to the country on the whole. It also gives the
opportunity to develop firm knowledge of this affair using certain kind of
work. If we take Systems and Data Processing Department as an example, the
students are able to discuss, argue and express their opinion on this or that
subject. As there are more than twenty types of services operating in the bank
we can easily imagine what economic and linguistic use our students will get
[3].
As all
the banks use very sophisticated accounting systems, students have to learn how
to work with such notions as: balance sheet, double entry, loans, dividends,
fixed assets and a lot of others.
With
the growth of global trade, many companies need foreign currencies to purchase
goods and services in other countries. That’s why it will be helpful for the
future businessmen to know all the details of the exchange rate, spot rate,
forward rate and maturity dates. Different work in the seminar rooms can be
done to improve and deepen the knowledge of our students. The wide range of
methodical ways can be applied: dialogs, conversations, different situations,
cases, discussions, press conferences and seminars [3].
Recently,
one of the trends in banking field has been the growth in the application of
computers in accounting records; where ledgers were once kept by hand. So, the
area of operations is now very much based on VDU (video display unit) and if
everything is correct we use the database to produce the data we need for other
communication media, like telex, a SWIFT message and other banking communication
systems. Here we have a very good opportunity to connect the work of our
students with computers and other equipment which will allow them to make
different calculations as grids, graphs and charts [5].
It goes
without saying, that all these methods will simplify the work of any business
and undoubtedly make it more effective and productive.
It’s
also of a great importance for the future university graduates to know the
names of their future job, connected with their professional responsibilities.
These names have special construction in their structure and besides the duties
which they will perform in companies comprise a lot of special terms which have
to be understood during interview or directly while performing their work.
Duties: following-up on
sales leads, implementing insertion orders, processing credit applications,
forecasting sales results , competitive
compensation packages, a casual yet challenging and fast-paced environment,
wholly owned subsidiary, pre- and post-contract financial due diligence.
