Intermediate English for Engineers

Objective

To revise the key grammar, lexis, functions and skills expected of students in the faculty at a level CEFR B1, before moving towards a CEFR B2 level of English. Building on the four linguistic competencies: reading, writing, listening and speaking it will see students move from more controlled linguistic situations to using the target language with increased emphasis on fluency and accuracy in more academic/professional contexts that take into account to the wide variety of different engineering situations they will encounter in their future studies and/or work.

Outcome

Bring students up to an intermediate level of English CEFR B1 + and equip them with the necessary linguistic resources to enable them to communicate effectively and accurately in English about a wide range of engineering concepts both orally and written.

• spoken fluency (describing general and work situations, paraphrasing, explaining, clarifying, coherence and cohesion, problem solving, presentations, telephoning, persuading);

• listening & writing (note taking, paraphrasing, completing forms, reports, describing visual data)
