Abstract:
English for Specific Purposes 1 aims to prepare the future Master engineers for work with scientific and technical
literature and documentation in the corresponding subject area. The main task is the acquisition of knowledge
about the structure of the English language, the main grammatical categories, intrinsic to the scientific and
technical style (English for Specific Purposes), as well as communicative skills, connected with the use of the
language for professional purposes.
Course content:
Revision and systematizing of the grammar and lexical material, studied in the Bachelor degree course. Diagram
reading. Description of block diagrams and electrical circuits. Comparison and contrast. Asking for information.
Guessing from the context. Linking ideas and facts. Component description. Description of processes and
systems. Thematic groups. Comparison of sources. Giving advice. Sequence of events. Explanations. Reading
graphs. Finding and using information. Adding information to text. Preparation of reports.
Teaching and assessment:
The classes focus on acquainting the students with the professional terminology by using special textbooks and
media. The necessary language skills for work in professional settings are created via a variety of activities and
exercises, which require active participation on the part of the students. Different authentic texts and other
appropriate materials are used in class. Students are offered lessons in computer laboratories, in which
multimedia learning packages and on-line materials are used according to the modern trends in foreign language
teaching.
