Learning outcomes:
The three English modules are to be seen in conjunction with one another. They provide students with a framework in which to develop their job-related English language skills from the entry level B1 to level B2. This module focuses on oral communication skills for electrical engineers. After successfully completing this course, students will have insight into the differences between international working environments, in particular English-speaking ones, and will be able to describe professional tasks. They will be able to recognize difficulties and conflicts in intercultural communication situations and draw conclusions for their own behavior in international contexts. This will enable them to use the right communicative means of speech and behavior in various oral communication situations.
