<objectives>After successfully completing this module, students will be able to: 
•	understand topic-related English-language specialist texts and product descriptions from the field of engineering science and be able to adequately reproduce their content
•	expand their subject-specific vocabulary as well as their knowledge of situationally appropriate language registers and consolidate both through oral and written practice
•	explain technical constructions and mechanisms of action using the appropriate language
•	write their own technical texts such as short reports, descriptions of laboratory experiments and project/product descriptions
</objectives>
<content>In coordination with the DFHI Master&quot;s degree programs in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and European Construction Management, the content is based on common general and technical language requirements and expands on the content covered in English 1. The initial level is therefore B1+/B2.
•	Technical language used in technical standards and instructions 
•	Describing technical systems (on the basis of authentic technical texts, videos, etc.)
•	Describing cause and effect based on technical systems (language of cause and effect, passive voice)
•	Composing instructions and reports (test protocols, laboratory reports, test reports) 
•	The changing working world (digitalization)
•	Presentation techniques and the structure of presentations
</content>
<media>•	The learning content is developed in a communicative and action-oriented manner with targeted listening, reading and speaking exercises in individual, partner and group work. 
•	Short written or oral reviews of learning progress are possible at any time.
