CONTRIBUTION OF THE SUBJECT TO THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

CONTRIBUTION OF ENGLISH I IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF

A COMMERCIAL ENGINEER
This subject becomes the most important tool for students who desire to
reach high goals in their professional field since English is a Universal
language.
It will allow students to have access to the most updated information in
their study field, it will help them to travel in order to get a specialization
degree, and of course it will allow them to find well-paid jobs and
amazing opportunities in this country or abroad.

ENTAILMENT AND RELATION OF THE SUBJECT WITH OTHER

DISCIPLINARY CONTENTS OF THE CURRICULA

There is a close relationship among all the curricula subjects because

10

students will find a variety of topics in this syllabus which keep

relationship with each other.
In that way, students can bring to the class their background knowledge
to make the most in their English lessons. On the other hand, they can
contribute with their knowledge to the rest of the curricula subjects. Also,
they will be able to find and understand updated information which is not
available in their mother tongue.
TYPE OF TRAINING OF THE SUBJECT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH

society. The objectives of the University are mostly to work with

in

order

to

perform follow up activities on-line, which will help them to reinforce the content studied un
class and self- follow up their progress.

RESEARCH IN THE EFL LEARNING

Research plays an important part in the process of learning because through it students
have the tools to develop different skills. Among these skills we have reading for the gist,
skimming, scanning; analyzing, summarizing and making their own conclusions. Besides,
students are able to give opinions and learn about the world we live in.
Through Topic based research students will find out information related to the topics studied
in this syllabus.
