Course detail
Technical English for Master's Degree
FSI-7AZM Acad. year: 2022/2023 Summer semester
The exam tests the ability to use language independently at B2 level, with an emphasis on the needs of successful communication in technical fields. The written part tests knowledge of grammar and professional vocabulary acquired in previous study. In the oral part, students need to prove they are able to express themselves spontaneously, and to demonstrate their ability to use specific language skills needed in engineering (e.g. describing processes, writing reports, and other communication in the workplace).

Learning outcomes of the course unit
A student who successfully passes the 7AZM exam understands the main ideas of complex texts on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialisation. A successful exam candidate can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity, explain and present various topics, explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options. The scope corresponds to B2 level and the content of the courses A5 and A6 (see the courses documentation).
Prerequisites
Knowledge of grammar and professional vocabulary learnt in the courses A5 and A6 is regarded as a minimum to pass the exam.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Separately registered exam following previous language lessons.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The exam has a written and an oral part and tests English at B2 level. The written part focuses on grammar and technical vocabulary. The oral part tests fluency, pronunciation and ability to use professional vocabulary and grammar covered in the compulsory literature. In both parts, students are required to collect at least 50% of the points.
Aims
The aim of the exam is to demonstrate that the student is able to communicate in English independently at B2 level with the focus on functional language.
