It is a subject requiring a strong conceptual understanding of the basic concepts on which the entire practice of accounting is based.
However fundamental it may be, the subject has become more and more relevant considering the introduction of block-chain technology in the accounting arena.
The subject becomes very crucial for students who wish to pursue a career in finance and also to those who don't as this forms the building block of a further advanced subject named 'Financial Accounting'.

Starting from day-to-day vocabulary learners can express themselves on a wide range of topics in a detailed manner, can use the language effectively and flexibly in their social and professional life, developing all the skills pertaining to language learning.
ECONOMICS
Economics is a social science which deals with the fulfillment of human wants with limited available resources. As an academic subject, it includes consumer behavior, producer behavior, price determination, national income, the role of government in the economy, banking, concept, and evolution of money, international trade, etc. Economics is broadly divided into two branches – microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics deals with an individual component of the economy whereas macroeconomics is concerned with the economy as a whole. The microeconomic analysis is important for business decisions while macroeconomics is important for national-level policymaking. Economics seeks answers to the questions like, why does the inflation occur? Is it good or bad? Why unemployment rises? Whether the high population is a blessing or a curse? etc. It’s pretty interesting to learn the science behind the economic phenomena happening around us and I am going to teach this subject in the most possible comprehensive way.
