Learning materials
The teachers of the "SM" panel of the L-3 department give English classes to students, postgraduates and external PhD students of the SM (Mechanical Engineering) faculty. The teaching is carried out according to the program which was developed at the L-3 department and consists of two levels: elementary (1 and 2 year) and professionally oriented (3 year, Master's degree program, postgraduate training program). At the end of the course students take exams.
The elementary level is based on the work with "English coursebook for technical universities" published by I.V. Orlovskaya, A.I. Skubriyeva and L.S. Samsonova at BMSTU. The professionally oriented level involves studying the coursebook "Cambridge English for Engineering" and specialised study guides written by the teachers of the department.
