Specialized English Seminars

English for Engineering

Engineering, with its specialised jargon and technical terms, often seems like a language of its own. It can be a challenge to discuss technical questions and issues in your native language, especially with dialogue partners without a specialist background. This is even more difficult in a foreign language. Today, business contacts are also becoming more and more international along with the markets. This makes the ability to communicate successfully in English in the technical field all the more important.

Goal setting

In this seminar, participants will improve their ability to describe and explain issues such as the manufacture of products or project management details from the perspective of an engineer or technician. They train to inform customers and international colleagues about the equipment used, processes involved or similar in an understandable way - while at the same time focussing on correct grammar and specialist vocabulary.
