Research and practice on teaching of software engineering professional English

Abstract

Software engineering professional English plays an important role for training international professional exchange skills. However, the current teaching and learning of software engineering professional English for undergraduate exist some urgent problems needed to be solved, such as, one-sided and outmoded teaching contents, single and monotonous teaching mode, and low learning interest of students. Based on the teaching practices, in this paper we do some researches to resolve the above existed problems to some extent. First, the teaching contents are overall to cover the reading, writing, speaking, and listening four parts. Some teaching contents are carefully selected from the up-to-date and standard knowledge of software engineering and state-of-art academic papers. Second, various and interesting teaching modes are used to enhance the studying enthusiasm of students. The teaching and learning practices testify the effectiveness of our innovations on the course of software engineering professional English.
