505			_a "English for Electrical Engineering is a skills-based course designed specifically for students of electrical engineering who are about the enter English-medium tertiary level studies. It provides carefully graded practice and progression in the key academic skills that all students need, such as listening to lectures and speaking in seminars. It also equips students with the specialist language they need to participate successfully within an electrical engineering department. Extensive listening exercises come from electrical engineering lectures, and all reading texts are taken from the same field of study. There is also a focus throughout on the key electrical engineering vocabulary that students will need.
505			_aListening: how to understand and take effective notes on extended lectures, including how to follow the argument and identify the speaker's point of view.
505			_aSpeaking: how to participate effectively in a variety of realistic situations, from seminars to presentations, including how to develop an argument and use stance markers.
505			_aReading: how to understand a wide range of texts, from academic textbooks to Internet articles, including how to analyze complex sentences and identify such things as the writer's stance.
505			_aWriting: how to produce coherent and well-structured assignments, including such skills as paraphrasing and the use of the appropriate academic phrases.
505			_aVocabulary: a wide range of activities to develop students' knowledge and use of key vocabulary, both in the field of electrical engineering and of academic study in general.
505			_aVocabulary and Skills banks: a reference source to provide students with revision of the key words and phrases and skills presented in each unit.
