This is an ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course which runs in the second semester of every year beginning in February. We use a professional careers curriculum provided by Oxford University Press consisting of two textbooks: Technology 1 and Technology 2. The goal of these ESP levels is to focus on the functional language needed in order to succeed in university in their specific program of choice. Overall, Technology 1 and 2 gives students the language, information, and skills needed for their university program of study. It presents them with English from a variety of technological fields and situations, and develops their communication skills.
