Developing Creativity and Problem Solving Skills by English Grammar and Vocabulary Activities in Engineering

摘要

This approach deals with developing logical/creative/critical thinking and problem-solving skills by means of clearly explaining grammar rules and by providing patterns and examples for organising effective dialogues or presentations in the foreign language, leading students towards free, meaningful communication. Enriching engineering students' English vocabulary firstly focuses on the specialist lexis and its relationship with the general vocabulary, secondly on features of syntax and rhetoric in scientific texts, and thirdly on lexical competence improvement within academic contexts.
