Basic Technical English can be integrated with other subjects on the curriculum and is based on acquisition of technical terminology in the particular field. The students are provided with opportunity to use the foreign language within the framework of the chosen scientific and professional field. All the texts, materials and speaking topics are selected according to the study program taking into account the average level of language skills. The selected lexical and syntactic constructions typical of the scientific language and LSP are taught independently on the study program. The program was developed in conformity with the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment, considering also the outcomes of the LEONARDO project, which involved language teachers from Baltic universities, and the general recommendations developed with the participation of the RTU Institute of Languages.
