The European Educational Institutions have the challenge and the
commitment to enhance multilingual competence and teaching curricular subjects
in a foreign language is seen as one of the most promising alternatives.
In that context, professors teaching different engineering subjects at the School of
Engineering of the UPC at Manresa (EPSEM) have been involved in projects
aiming at analyzing the current linguistic situation and developing some on-line
open access materials using CLIL as a strategy. They formed the u-Linguatech
Research Group on Multilingual Communication in Science and Technology in
order to provide such resources in an effective and efficient way.
In this paper, we focus on students’ perception of the improvement of their
multilingual competence throughout their Engineering degree, by means of
subjects taught in English by non-native speakers. Data about the English level of
current students are taken into account. We also describe the use of the above
resources to improve the quality of subjects learning related to Chemical
Engineering curricula. |
