Innovation of "English for Mathematicians" Courses - Challenges of a Subject-Specific Approach

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper focuses on the creation and innovation of the course English for Mathematicians. When processing teaching materials and introducing innovations, several problems emerge. The first is topic selection. The natural sciences comprise extensive knowledge; it is difficult to choose topics relating to the specialisms or interests of all students. Secondly, various levels of professional and language competence of individuals in class must also be taken into consideration. Thirdly, it is vital to assess the degree of authenticity of materials, and the possibility or necessity of their adjustment by language teachers. Students usually appreciate video lectures and conference papers for their expertise. However, these sources are not always suitable and applicable in language learning. Last but not least, a combination of skills-based and topic-based approaches, as well as problem-solving tasks, can keep students interested and motivated.
