Reflection on the Use of Foreign Language Courses in Engineering, Technology and Science Teaching: Experience in Lebanese Universities
Marie-Therese Saliba, Randa Saliba Chidiac
Abstract: Most reports on training students show us that the historical fragmentation between scientific training and language teaching is no longer desirable. The majority of curricula suggest the integration of language courses in scientific disciplines which will stamp the transposition of relevant knowledge and its integration into vocational training. Following an overview of the different scientific specializations in the third world countries and in Europe, it is noted that educational systems stumble, among other things, on shortages of communication and terminology in foreign languages [1]. One shall suggest a new convincing, coherent training prototype to integrate these two fields of knowledge. In this descriptive research, we recommend the Lebanese model in the education at school and university, as we illustrate in subsequent paragraphs.
