Abstract

Abstract This activity report describes a sample unit (Effective Data Presentation) from a communication course prepared as part of an Intellectual Output within the BADGE Project, which was carried out by 12 partner universities from 10 countries during 3 academic years (2019–2022). The article first describes the results of a survey which show that language and communication classes need to integrate more LSP competences so that students become better acquainted with both general and specific language. Moreover, the report analyses and explains the existing practical difficulties for language and subject teachers alike in maintaining a distinction between “knowledge of a subject” and “knowledge of the language of a subject.” Secondly, the report presents a sample from a communication course prepared for engineers encompassing effective data presentation and its interpretation during LSP courses. Finally, the article reflects on the future challenges for LSP teachers and the reasons why academics should integrate professional knowledge and specialist language within the same course.

未来工程师的沟通课程-在LSP课程中有效的数据展示和解释

摘要本活动报告描述了一个交流课程的样本单元（有效数据展示），该课程是BADGE项目智力输出的一部分，由来自10个国家的12所合作大学在3个学年（2019-2022年）内开展。文章首先描述了一项调查的结果，该调查表明，语言和沟通课程需要整合更多的LSP能力，以便学生更好地熟悉通用语言和特定语言。此外，该报告分析并解释了语言和学科教师在区分“学科知识”和“学科语言知识”方面存在的实际困难，该报告提供了一个为工程师准备的通信课程的样本，包括LSP课程期间的有效数据展示及其解释。最后，文章反思了LSP教师未来面临的挑战，以及学术界应该将专业知识和专业语言整合在同一门课程中的原因。
