Professional English Language Prof. Dr. Yüksel KÖSEOĞLU Suleyman Demirel University Almaty-Kazakhstan

Objectives and Description This course has been designed for first year university level students who pursue their academic studies in an English medium higher education institution. It aims to equip students with the necessary academic skills by exposing them to the content of Engineering and Computer Sciences. It follows a content-based integrated approach in which listening, speaking, reading and writing skills are explained, illustrated and practiced. The course book “EAP in Engineering and Computer Sciences” consists of two books. These books are modular in nature and they follow the process from academic input (listening/reading) to academic output (speaking/writing) throughout the units. Book I consists of Listening and Note-taking and Academic Speaking Skills modules, whereas Book II consists of Academic Reading and Academic Writing Skills modules. In the first module of “EAP in Engineering and Computer Sciences I”, Listening and Note-taking skills are developed by training students in making written records in note form of important/relevant information from a lecture or discussion and then using this information in the output task at the end of each unit. In the second module, Academic Speaking Skills are developed by training students in coping with the challenges of researching and giving a coherent academic presentation on a topic that relates to their field of study. I truly believe that this book will be a great asset for Freshman students who are studying at the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Sciences.

The Professional English Language course will consist of two hours of lecture per week. Furthermore, there will be a few guest lectures during the semester, as well as some movies. There will be (roughly) weekly exercises, and due to the following week at the beginning of class. Exercises might include a short (a few pages) essay and presentations on the topic of the week. I'm going to try my best to do the lectures in Power. Point format. There will be no textbook, but I provide supplementary reading materials and books. There will be additional notes and handouts available from the websites as well - please check here if you miss class.

WELCOME TO INF 210 PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE is a semester course which will help you deal with life at University. 1 - Maybe when you were at High School, the most important thing for you was to get a good mark and pass your exams. What was the best way to do this? Well, most of the time you learnt everything your book and textbook told you until you knew it by heart and then repeated exactly the same information in the exams. 2 - This technique was probably very successful at school but won’t work at University. Why not? Well, university isn’t just something to pass. It is also a preparation course for adulthood. The big difference between children and adults is the ability to think for yourself, NOT just repeat exactly what your professor tells you in lectures. The key things you will be tested on is your ability to find different pieces of information, evaluate them and then use them to create your own opinions, ideas or creations. The aim of this course is to give you the skills that will enable you to do this.

WELCOME TO INF 210 3 - Another difference between University and school is that everything finishes with a real OUTPUT (production), for example, a paper, a presentation or a creation like a piece of art, or a model etc. To do this, you will need to do research quickly and effectively, take notes from reading and lectures, take part in discussions and be able to use source texts effectively, which will be the INPUT for your task. However, the most important part is putting everything together, analyzing and synthesizing the information you gathered and turning it into an output. These are the skills INF 210 will help you to develop. 4 -There are four modules spread over the two semesters. The length and content of these modules will depend on your faculty. However, for everyone, the course will start with the “Introduction to Academic Skills INF 210” unit, which you are doing now. This will give you a general idea of the course, what is expected of you in your departments and help you to understand the skills that you will need to collect information for output. This will mean looking at how we process information that comes from oral/written input, how we use books and articles and how we evaluate the information we have.

WELCOME TO INF 210 5 -In the first part two main modules will be covered: The first one, the Listening and Note-taking Module focuses on the skill of academic listening and how you record important information from a lecture or discussion and then use this information for output. It also shows subskills for making note-taking more efficient and easy, like using charts and abbreviations. 6 -The module called Speaking for Academic Purposes starts with an Introduction to Research Unit, in which you will be familiarized with the basics of doing research. However, the module particularly focuses on two different situations, general speaking skills related to an academic context and giving presentations. Both of these tasks you will be called on to do during your time at this university so you need to know how to present your ideas and opinions coherently and persuasively. At the end of the first part, you will also be expected to give a short presentation as part of your final work. 7 - In the second part you will cover two other main modules as well: The Academic Reading Module focuses on how to select the appropriate texts, how to read quickly and effectively and how to take relevant information from texts and use it for output. It offers you practice in various skills such as identifying main ideas, understanding an author’s point of view, skimming, scanning.

WELCOME TO INF 210 8 -Finally, Academic Writing is a key module. Most of the output you will be required to do in this module will be written and you will need to make sure that your writing is coherent, concise, persuasive and makes good use of sources and information to support your arguments. At the end of the second semester, you will be asked to write an essay as part of your final assessment. 9 –INF 210 is not an English course. We assume that if you have passed the Entrance Exam or Proficiency Exam, then you are capable of following an academic course using the English language. Therefore, it will be up to you to make up for any deficiencies you might have in your use of English. However, we do recognise that there is a different type of vocabulary needed to study in English and you will be given support in learning the necessary words (the AWL or Academic Word list) for your respective faculties. 10 - In conclusion, this course will help you develop the necessary academic skills so that you can efficiently gather information from different sources, select the pieces of information that you need to do a given task, and organize/produce your output. It is an important course in the sense that you will be required to do tasks that relate directly to your department needs.

Water treatment or Water Purification • Arsenic is a colorless, odorless, tasteless element that can lead to skin discoloration, sickness, cancer and death. • • Arsenic contamination in drinking water is a global problem, and while there are ways to remove arsenic, they require extensive hardware and high-pressure pumps that run on electricity, Our approach is simple and requires no electricity. While the magnetic nanoparticles used in the publication are expensive, we are working on new approaches to their production and reusage.
