2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
| The course aims at enabling students to acquire the theoretical and practical background in English for Chemical Engineers, and develop the skills required to understand and use scientific and academic English texts (e.g., research papers, manuals, bibliography, etc.). On successful completion of this module the learner will: • be familiar with the function and use of scientific and academic terms, grammatical structures and discourse and capable of understanding discipline-related vocabulary and authentic scientific/academic texts • be capable of activating and integrating already acquired knowledge in Chemistry, and, thus, be able to make inferences and comprehend textual meaning • produce written short but coherent texts (descriptions, comparisons, reports, etc.) • interpret and analyse information from diagrams, tables, formulae, etc. | |
