English for Engineering Students
A Discussion and Some Practical Suggestions for Syllabus Construction

G. Immanuel, M.A., Ph.D. Research Scholar


Certain Items That We Should Keep in Mind

Teachers of English should keep the growing need for English skills in mind while designing the English syllabus and in adapting the right methodology of teaching English to technical students. English is no longer a subject in the curriculum but an indispensable learning tool.

Since teachers deal with technical students it doesn’t mean that only Technical English has to be taught. Technical English for Technical Students - is it simply a fancy? Or does Technical English Teaching (TET) for Engineering Students develop the communicative capability of the technical graduates? What is the objective of Technical English introduced in the curriculum of Anna University? Does the syllabus serve the purpose for which it was framed? What is the end result of it? Where should the change be?

THE SYLLABUS OF ANNA UNIVERSITY CHENNAI (BE/BTECH) – R2008/AFFILIATED INSTITUTIONS COMMON SYLLABUS –
First YEAR – HS2111 TECHNICAL ENGLISH:


Aim

To encourage students to actively involve in participative learning of English and to help them acquire Communicative Skills.
