Irakasgaiaren azalpena eta testuingurua

This ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course is designed for adult learners at a tertiary level institution. The course meets specific needs of the learners since it is centered on the language appropriate to the activities carried out in terms of grammar, lexis, register, study skills, discourse and genre. Moreover, the students are trained to present professionally in English since this can give their careers a boost and propel them up a corporate ladder.



The course is designed for a specific discipline, Industrial Engineering, and more especifically, for Advanced Materials in Engineering. A certain knowledge of the language systems is assumed [in other words, it is designed for students with at least an intermediate level (B2)].



This lingua franca, needless to say, is a fundamental tool for engineers. Professional success and gaining knowledge about new technologies and science are strongly linked. Avant-garde discoveries are usually published in scientific papers printed in English.



Our communicative approach will focus on helping the students:

1 To use the specific terms required for a fluent oral and written communication in professional environments related to Materials in Engineering.

2 To use correctly the linguistic structures required for an effective written communication in medium-length texts (350-500 words).

3 To understand oral and written texts in specific English in order to respond correctly to subsequent questions.

4 To express themselves intelligibly in all kinds of oral and written communications that could be required in their profession.



Moreover, it will focus on helping them:

1 To show a positive attitude towards the usage of the English language in all fields, striving for communicating and participating in class activities, as well as for overcoming learning difficulties.

2 To develop the awareness of the importance of activities such as oral presentations.

The learning process will be developed through content-based materials, with related exercises and activities designed for the specific needs of the learner.
