Aim

The purpose of the course is:
• To prepare students to use English as a working language by focusing on communicating to a general audience, which demands a high level of English proficiency and good communicative skills.
• To enable students to prepare and carry out communication that summarizes and clearly presents aspects of project work in English.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

Prepare relevant documents for professional purposes, e.g. a popular science text.
Adapt and present information for oral communication contexts.

Content

Oral exercises include an oral presentation of the material from the popular science text and class discussions.

Organisation

The course is organised in lectures and workshops of two hours during the study period. This is a blended learning course, and therefore some sessions will take place online.

Literature

Examination including compulsory elements

All compulsory written and oral assignments should achieve a passing mark.

The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
