Zascerinska, Jelena
Online Submission, Paper presented at the International Conference on Engineering and Business Education (1st, Wismar, Germany, Sep 14-17, 2008)
In order to become "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion" the European Union realizes its people as the most important asset. Moreover, every human becomes a value for the whole society. It makes significant to take into consideration communication competence needed for sustained participation in the knowledge-based society and for a coherent strategy to succeed. The greatest importance is the use of 3-5 languages, with at least 2-3 on the level of native/first language in order to form varied cooperative networks for the creation of new knowledge. Thus, the novelty of the present study is in a new outlook on communication competence as a basis for providing the system of spontaneous and scientific perspectives, individual combination of learning and communication interaction abilities and experience that provide constructive interaction with other people in interpersonal relation system.
