What is this course about?
The aim of the course is to learn and consolidate the basic technical vocabulary in the field of electrical engineering and - application-oriented - grammatical structures. Furthermore, the receptive linguistic skills of listening and reading comprehension are trained. Participants should be enabled to follow first lectures in English in the field of electrical engineering and to understand English-language technical literature. Strategies will be presented and practiced.
What do you learn in this course?
After completing the course “Technical English. Electrical Engineering” you will...
- ... recognize, understand and use a huge variety of technical vocabulary in your field of study
- ... recognize and use appropriate context-specific grammatical structures
- ... apply strategies that help you understand and follow lectures and other longer contributions in your field of study
- ... apply strategies that help you understand texts, even longer and complex ones, in your field of study
