The primary aim of the course is to enhance reading and writing skills in technical--especially scientific and engineering--English.
概要
The primary focus will be the development of three English skills: listening comprehension, reading and writing. The key objective will be to increase and broaden knowledge of technical and scientific vocabulary. As a result, students should be better able to understand and produce English technical writing, especially in the field of Engineering. Therefore, the emphasis of the course content is intended to strengthen and expand both comprehension and expressive abilities. It is anticipated that this will include improving the basic aspects of clear writing: important aspects of grammar, vocabulary, and recurring patterns of typical sentences commonly found in technical English.
