Teaching Method

Outline:

The aim of this course is to help students improve their English vocabulary and reading comprehension in order to develop English skills they will need as an engineer in the age of globalization, and gain knowledge of the syntax and grammar necessary for reading comprehension.

Style:

There will be vocabulary quizzes in every lesson. Students will read English texts and solve exercise questions to test their understanding of the content. We will use CDs to build listening ability. We will practice English writing based on the content learned. There will be assignments as appropriate.

Notice:

This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Be sure to complete the assignments that will be given in advance, ahead of a class. Improve your English skills through daily learning at home. If you fail to take a quiz due to unexcused tardiness or absence, you will be given a zero. Students who miss 1/4 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
