Module content:
In coordination with the DFHI Master´s degree programs in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and European Construction Management, the content is based on common general and technical language requirements and expands on the content covered in English 1. The initial level is therefore B1+/B2. • Technical language used in technical standards and instructions • Describing technical systems (on the basis of authentic technical texts, videos, etc.) • Describing cause and effect based on technical systems (language of cause and effect, passive voice) • Composing instructions and reports (test protocols, laboratory reports, test reports) • The changing working world (digitalization) • Presentation techniques and the structure of presentations
