1.Course Description:
This course called English for Occupational Purposes is designed for engineers to
acquire different skills and techniques to learn English interactively and to practice reading,
writing, speaking and listening while exercising their work within different companies,
integrating pedagogical strategies making use of TIC information and communication
technologies, in addition the course is responsible for answering the question: How do
interactive methodologies contribute to the learning of students for occupational purposes
such as engineering to acquire a second language easily and interactively?. Therefore,
different activities and teaching strategies based on the experiential model will be
implemented to respond in a coherent way to the needs of the learner.
For this, practical experience will be taken into account and the learner is encouraged
to fill himself with knowledge autonomously. Likewise, within the teaching-learning
process, the natural Approach method will be carried out and a didactic unit based on reading
and writing will be studied.
2. Course Objeive:
Respond to the student's needs, through the interaction of teaching materials and
activities integrating words of daily use by putting the EOP into practice, which will allow
the student to acquire different English language skills effectively and with the best attitude.
