Document from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, Jazan University - KSA (and VIT University, India), course: English for Engineers, Technical Communication, language: English, abstract: This book is intended to aid engineering students from institutes of technology to equip themselves for their professions. The areas of study were chosen after consultation with alumni of VIT University, India and our colleagues from the Engineering department and is designed to supplement the specific learning needs of young engineers as they gear up to join a global work force and face international competition. This book is an outcome of need based course and has been put to test with two batches of students. The feedback from students has been carefully considered and topics and details have been added to this text based on the student’s feedback. Hence, this book is ideal for students who would want to engage in a self-study and for Educators who want to give their young engineers exactly what they need for their profession. For the convenience of the Teaching community this book has been divided into Theory and Laboratory. There is specific focus on the skills the learners would have to acquire in the process. Theory focuses on mostly aspects that relate to writing skills required for the professionals and develop their reading too. The Laboratory focuses on their Listening and Speaking skills. From their professional front this book has chapters dedicated to Career and Interview skills. The tasks and activities are extremely motivational and encouraging, and cater to a mixed abilities group of learners. Emphasis has also been given to pair-work, group discussions and role-plays. Each chapter concludes with a revision-based activity for consolidating the previous learning. In fact, this trait is repeatedly highlighted in the book, where learners encounter those items which they have learnt earlier in the book, thus facilitating broad-based comprehension. Finally, this book can be used independently as a course book, and can also function as an excellent supplement to the existing course books.
