Course detail
FEKT-NJA9Acad. year: 2011/2012
The course is oriented towards professional language competence of students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication and the Faculty of Information Technology. This competence supports students’ mobilities, their ability to study in English language at a technical university and is an inseparable part of successful incorporation into the European working process as well. An integrated approach covering five basic language skills according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe 2001) is used in the process of English language teaching and learning. Spoken production includes abilities like giving presentations on a range of subjects related to students’ field of study, oral presentations on own qualifications and experience, verbalizing numerical expressions, describing graphs, tables and trends, explaining a viewpoint on topical issues of students’ field of study. Spoken interaction contains reactions relating to professional topics, telephoning, being interviewed, information exchange on topics based on reality, practical goal-oriented co-operation. Reading comprehension covers work with scientific and technical texts oriented to electrical engineering and information technology. Students are encouraged to develop skills like using monolingual dictionaries efficiently or deducing the meaning of unknown words from the context. Writing includes structuring an academic article, writing an abstract, writing business letters, e-mail messages and chat language, making notes for future reference, taking down messages, completing forms and questionnaire, writing a letter of job application, writing curriculum vitae. When listening, students are encouraged to listen as a member of live audience, to take notes on the basis of a heard text, to listen to public announcements, to listen to conversations between native speakers. The course also includes the basic information on translation activities and on recurrent errors of language.
