curriculum of South East European University. After finishing the Basic English levels, students
continue with English for Specific Purposes courses. All faculties within the university have their

Purposes to students at Political Sciences and International Relations department within the Faculty
of Contemporary Social Sciences. In order to prepare students begin their professional career path
in government, ministries, state and local government agencies, municipalities, public institutions,
political parties and non-profit organizations, faculty staff teaching professional subjects and
students were conducted for target vocabulary of the course. The students were interviewed on their
preference on skills and the results showed that speaking skills and debates would be more
beneficial for their future career. In the scope and sequence of English for Specific Purposes 1 and

vocabulary. Based on the topics the materials for the courses were selected and Course Readers
were prepared for the students. Most of the materials were found online on internet. Moreover,
various English books and English version web sites of the Government in the Republic of North
Macedonia and the Ministries were used to create authentic materials for students.
