       Knowledge of a foreign language is essential for a

specialist with a university degree. So the curriculum in engineering includes

a foreign language as an obligatory subject to be taken by every student. And

the would-be highly qualified specialists are glad to be given an opportunity

to improve their knowledge of a foreign language or to take a second foreign

language. Some undergraduates are likely to be learning two foreign languages

simultaneously. English is the most popular with students of all specialities.

The course aims to develop all four skills through a series of tasks and

activities that encourage students to combine their knowledge of English with

their technical knowledge.
