Course Description:	This course is a well-balanced and harmonized combination of ELT methodology with real functional professional setting. Its aim is to improve students’ professional communication skills and content understanding in genres of engineering and architecture. The course is comprehensive in its scope of topics and themes by offering opportunities of high- priority language useful to any branch of engineering (mechanical, electrical, civil, computing, environmental) and to architecture by focusing on tasks and skills related to drawings, description of technical problems as well the dimensions and precision. It is designed with an emphasis on all four dimensions of ESP learning: authentic activities illustrating daily engineering situations, original listening to professionals at work, speaking and writing tasks affiliated to contemporary problems and sensitive issues of engineering and architecture by making the course practical, and motivating.
Course Objectives:	- to equip students with the norms and regulations of English for academic purposes and tasks - to improve understanding of professional English mainly in the fields of engineering - to enrich specialist language knowledge of future practitioners - to provide problem-solving practice in authentic engineering scenarios
