Learning outcomes:
The modules “Business English for Environmental Engineers”, “Technical Reading and Writing for Environmental Engineers””, as well as “Applying for an Engineering Job and Professional Presentations” should be seen in conjunction with one another. They offer students a framework to further develop their English language skills in a professionally related area from the desired entry level B1 to level B2.
About the “Technical Reading and Writing for Environmental Engineers” module:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with different reading strategies and will be able to apply them to course-specific specialist texts. They will have extended their repertoire of linguistic structures and will be able to apply these structures to the written elaboration of technical questions and documents.
- Global and detailed comprehension of environmental engineering texts
- Techniques for taking notes
- Summarizing texts
- Describing functions, systems and processes, etc.
- Cause-effect relationships
In addition, we will work on:
- Vocabulary
- Repeating relevant grammatical structures
Learning objectives will be achieved through integrated training of the four basic skills (listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking and writing) in relevant communication situations supported by multimedia, as well as the repetition of basic grammar and vocabulary.
Target group-specific teaching/learning materials (print, audio, video), as well as multimedia CALL and e&mLearning materials will be used.
Students will receive a list of recommended teaching and learning materials.
