The English Advanced 1 course develops students’ language and professional communication skills through practical, job-related tasks, supported by targeted language work relevant to these tasks. The course integrates reading, writing, listening, and speaking practice at the B1–B2 level (CEFR–ECOSTAR Framework), with a strong focus on employability and real-life language use. Students work individually and in groups to explore professions in the engineering industry, search for and evaluate information, and produce written and spoken outputs relevant to workplace contexts. Activities include writing professional descriptions, preparing and presenting at a simulated job fair, completing job applications, and participating in mock interviews. Through these tasks, students enhance their confidence, teamwork, and readiness for future academic and professional challenges.
The English Advanced 2 course trains students in advanced reading, writing, and presentation strategies designed to help them navigate academic literature, synthesize research findings, and communicate their ideas effectively in both written and spoken form. General, quasi-technical, and technical vocabulary will be expanded through engagement with original, up-to-date professional texts relevant to students’ fields of study. Work on the four language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—together with grammar review, will be interwoven throughout the course to support integrated language development and enhance both comprehension and production. Throughout the course, students will work collaboratively in groups, developing effective teamwork and communication skills essential for academic and professional contexts. They will search for, evaluate, and process academic literature on topics relevant to their studies. By the end of the course, students will formulate an original research proposal, write it up as a professional-looking poster project, and present it in class. This process will strengthen their readiness for Final Projects and increase their confidence in participating in academic and industry settings.
