dc.descriptionThe results of the survey revealed that implementation of integrated approach to ESP teaching can improve the students’ overall academic performance in engineering university. ESP syllabus in engineering university must be designed following an educational and professional programme, recommendations of subject teachers and engineering students’ needs and expectations in the context of their future job. 2. The content of the integrated ESP course should include materials on foreign agricultural machinery and equipment, agricultural machinery service and repair and a range of activities that aim to provide developing speaking skills and acquiring engineering vocabulary. 3. The findings showed that the use of discipline-specific materials and profession-based tasks concerning the “Agricultural machinery” course in ESP university classroom benefits students’ progress, first of all, in ESP communication and in career-based vocabulary acquisition.uk_UA
dc.description.abstractAgriculture is almost the only industry in Ukraine that shows its stable growth despite the complicated social and economic conditions. It provides plenty of job positions that require a good command of English. The results of EfU baseline study in Ukrainian universities showed that ESP courses do not prepare the students to communicate at the workplace and do not provide mastering specific vocabulary related to their future job. The research deals with teaching profession-based topics from the “Agricultural machinery” course in a foreign language in line with engineering students’ notion about the necessity of English discipline-specific knowledge. The article informs about the results of the students’ presentations at the conference as progress in their professional knowledge, based on the integrated curriculum. Several studies have reported on ESP teaching with the technical university students according to CLIL and EMI methodology, however, an integrated approach to ESP teaching remains to be accomplished. The paper aims to examine the integrated approach at the content level through the integration of the discipline “Agricultural machines” into ESP course and at the methodological level through well-built and effective profession-based learning strategies. The study used pre-and post- questionnaire design that resulted in students’ engineering conference presentations. The recommendations on discipline-specific content and activities in the integrated ESP course are given. The study reveals the benefits of using engineering profession-based tasks for successful student performance.uk_UA
