Web-based learning units in the field of technical English
Each learning unit covers a self-contained topic from the field of technical English, based on current videos, audio recordings or texts. This topic is presented using multimedia presentations and various types of exercises, thus training reading and video comprehension as well as vocabulary and grammar.
The learning units are designed for learners with a good basic knowledge (B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference).
Each Online Extension forms a self-contained unit and is available in two versions – one version for German learners and one version in English only
Available units
In this unit, you will watch an interview with the lead engineer Simon King, who works for Arup, the company responsible for the lighting design of the new Concourse of London’s King’s Cross station.
The exercises will help you practise your comprehension of the video as well as vocabulary and language structures that are relevant for various areas of Technical English.
