| Summary: | There is no doubt that English is of great signifcance to engineering students
in academic life where having good communication competence is a must for them to deal
with most of theories in engineering taught in English. The purpose of the present study
is to shed light on application of project-based learning in teaching English as a foreign
language to engineering students in Vietnam National University. A total of 21 Engineeringmajored students in the Fast-tracked program participated in a project designed on the basis
of project-based learning. The fndings from the project combined with the questionnaires
given at the end of the semester help the researcher come to the conclusion that projectbased learning is an ideal teaching method since it enables engineering students not only
to improve signifcantly their oral and written communication skills but also to apply the
content knowledge in their major in the English language course. It is hoped that this study
can provide researchers and teachers with useful implication for using English as a medium
of instruction in sciences related subjects. |
