Socio-Pedagogical Factors for Sustainability Education of English Language Among Technical Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the present scenario, professional engineers certainly need effective and impressive communication skills. There is a great need to frame course materials to enhance LSRW (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) skills of engineering graduates. The integration of LSRW skills within subject modules will provide ample opportunities to professional engineers. It should be incorporated throughout the engineering program. Therefore communication skills programs in engineering colleges should be revamped to suit the requirements of the curriculum.
