LANG 1407, Academic English for Engineering Studies, is a 3-credit, common-core course taken by all engineering students. Over one semester, students attend three hours of class per week, complete a variety of out-of-class activities and prepare for assessed tasks.
LANG 1407 aims to develop students’ competence to communicate accurately and appropriately in engineering contexts in the university and beyond. LANG 1407 takes an active, collaborative, approach to learning. Every class includes at least one communicative task where students work together to share information, solve a problem or brainstorm ideas. Outside class, students are expected to take a proactive approach to meet with group members, find information and work together towards common goals. They are also expected to take responsibility for their own learning by reflecting on coursework performance and using self-reflection and feedback from others to improve.
