ENG 4184 English for telecommunication and IT industries

Introduction to the module

A course aiming at deeper understanding of intercultural and language skills in a professional context. It will challenge learners to analyse and respond appropriately, and in detail, to contemporary issues within an increasingly globalized world.

Learners will aim to master the fundamental mechanics of purposeful communication in English. They will look to identify, understand, and appropriately employ, the rhetorical choices (in terms of claims, evidence, reasoning, organisation, style) in a text, and the likely effect on intended and unintended readers.
Learners will improve their ability to interact confidently in English in a variety of common, academic, and professional situations, (transactions, discussions, presentations) in addition to producing accompanying documents fit for purpose.
