Descripción general

"This course is aimed at developing studentsâ€™ command of English spoken and written communication in Aeronautical Engineering. Therefore, special attention will be paid to the study and practice of morphosyntatic elements and vocabulary items most frequently used in aeronautical engineering discourse. In addition, classwork will be devoted to listening, writing, reading and spoken activities. On completion of the course students should be able, with reasonable proficiency, to read texts on academic and professional topics, to understand spoken discourse on technical matters, to make effective use of English in their own writing and to express themselves in their academic, profesional and social relations. The study and practice of grammar and lexical items to be found in engineering contexts will take up a large part of the course. " "
