Challenges of teaching and learning in English in engineering courses

Abstract

Based on the literature survey, interview with the international office at LTH, and discussion among the course participants and course leaders and our own teaching and learning experiences, this current project is proposed and conducted for the purpose to highlight the
importance and challenges of teaching and learning in English in engineering courses in overall, and LTH education in particular. The aims of the project are to:
1. Examine existing teaching situations in higher educations and LTH International Mater’s Programmes and engineering courses;
2. Identify challenges faced by both teachers and students with various educational and multi-cultural backgrounds;
3. Propose recommendations to overcoming challenges and improving teaching through English at LTH.
