The previous research has shown that Slovakia follows a significant negative trend with performance in reading. Online learning platforms like LMS Moodle are ideal for students in higher education. This paper is a part of the KEGA Project carried out at the Department of English Language of the Faculty of Applied Languages. It demonstrates the work of an experimental group of sixty-four first-and secondyear students of the Faculty of National Economy in a course “Business English for Advanced Students III” supported by an e-course“Business Communication”. During the semester, students developed reading skills and improved communication by reading and investigating written discourse for unknown words and idiomatic expressions. The rationale for the quantitative research is to compose a corpus of professional articles from English-language periodicals read by “Economics and Law” students. The rationale for the qualitative research is to identify important business, legal and academic vocabulary in them. The method of “Statistical Hypothesis Testing”, T-test, tests the significance of the difference between the knowledge of idioms of the experimental group and the control group (33 students doing a traditional course) . The results indicate that LMS Moodle increased students’ motivation to study English. The results prove that “Economics and Law” students enlarged greatly their legal vocabulary and that both groups were interested in learning idiomatic expressions.  \nKeywords: reading text; term; idiom; business; economics; law; technology.  \nIntroduction  \nUnsatisfactory results achieved by the Slovak readers in the PISA 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015 and 2018 assessments and a negative trend with performance in reading provided the main impetus for investigating the linguistic features of general English reading texts in detail. Numerous research studies have concerned with the difficulties in processing reading texts by foreign language learners. Linguistic variables that contribute to the text being harder to process are syntactic complexity, lexical complexity, topic unfamiliarity, difficult vocabulary, high occurrence of idiomatic expressions, and homonyms. Research shows that conventionalised multiword expressions and the lexis itself have been neglected in language studies. This neglect can be ascribed to the vocabulary being viewed as the non-generative component.  \nTransitioning from being a successful secondary school student to being a successful university student can be difficult. Undergraduates have to adjust to different learning cultures and to accept that university study is different. The Department of English Language runs courses in English for Specific Purposes. Whether the students have acquired B1 or B2 English language levels in secondary school, in accordance with the CEFR (2011), they are mixed together and take two or three courses in “Business English for Advanced Students”. During the semesters, they use a compulsory textbook Market Leader Business English Course Book (Cotton, Falvey & Kent, 2011) . A typical unit consists of the following sections: Starting up, Vocabulary, Reading, Listening, Language review, Skills, and a Case study. Reading sections include articles from The Financial Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, CBS, and The Corporate Knights. Due to journalism, the reading texts are full of idiomatic expressions. At the end of each semester, students have to demonstrate the acquired knowledge via common departmental testing.
