Duration of Exam - 3 hrs.
No. of periods – 03 per week

Objective/s and Expected outcome:

The objective is to help the students to become independent users of English language. Students should
be able to understand spoken and written English language of varied complexity on most including some
abstract topics; particularly the language of their chosen technical field. They must show awareness of
appropriate format and a capacity for explaining their views in a rational manner. The students should be
able to converse fluently, without strain with international speakers of english in an accent and lexis that is
widely understood across the globe. They will be able to produce on their own texts which are clear and
coherent.

1. Reading: Reading texts of varied complexity; speed reading for global and
detailed meaning; processing factual and implied meanings
2. Vocabulary: Building up and expansion of vocabulary; active use of the
prescribed expressions in the appropriate context
3. Grammar: Revising and practicing a prescribed set of grammar items; using
grammar actively while processing or producing language
4. Writing: The qualities of good writing; Learning the prescribed written
expressions of conventional use; writing business letters, emails; reports,
summaries and various forms of descriptive and argumentative essays

Learning and Teaching Activities:

PART A (Reading)
The prescribed reading textbook for students will be S. P. Dhanavel English and Communication Skills for
Students of Science and Engineering (with audio CD), Orient Blackswan. They will go through the reading
texts themselves with the help of a dictionary or word power as given at the end. As they progress from
one reading to another they should learn to read fast with greater degree of understanding of both concrete
and abstract topics. While taking up the textbook lessons in the classroom, the teacher shall ensure that
students can do the following:
i. Identify the significant points and conclusions as given in the text.
ii. Handle large texts (even outside the prescribed book) with overall comprehension of the links between
arguments and the finer distinction between stated and implied meanings.
iii. Generally read the stance or the point of view of the writer and present it in the form of a summary9
iv. Use the vocabulary learnt in the lessons (especially given in „word power‟) productively in various
writing tasks as suggested at the end of each lesson.
v. Profitably use the grammatical items as discussed at the end of each lesson while producing language
for communication.

Besides the textbook, the teacher must insist that students extend their reading by taking up additional
texts of their own choice.

PART B (Writing)
In addition to the various exercises given at the end of each lesson of Dhanavel‟s book, the teacher shall
use Anne Laws Writing Skills, Orient Blackswan to teach the language and conventions of writing. The
students must learn the language that expresses various cognitive functions that are frequently used in
writing. With the help of the teacher who will give them adequate practice, the students should be
able to:
i. Convey information on concrete or abstract topics with clarity and precision.
ii. Write about objects or events with appropriate detail in both descriptive and narrative form.
iii. Explain ideas and build up arguments with adequate support in a convincing manner.
iv. Use language with some degree of flexibility in consideration to the reader.
v. Produce effectively such forms of professional writing as business letter, emails, notes, memos, reports
summaries etc.
While teaching, the teacher must inculcate in students the habit of revising their writing. The teacher can
also use and recommend the relevant sections of the following books for developing writing skills in
students.
