Summary/Abstract: The English classes with the master students start from the point where we assume that the learners attend our course at a moment where they have already internalized the forms of the target language. Our assumption is that once they have ‘learned’ the information about the foreign language, they will be able to use it through reading, writing, listening and speaking. Is their proficiency satisfactory in order to perform efficiently at their place of work? The aim of this paper is to analyze this aspect of language proficiency by taking into account my master students’ competence versus performance.
