The paper concludes by providing the students’ evaluation of the content of the course, its usefulness for current studies and future careers and indications of aspects that could be improved to make the course more interesting. It discusses a 10-week course I designed and run for students of Land Surveying. The second part of the paper presents my own approach to teaching this type of English which combines the expertise in Land Surveying field with translation and didactics experience.
It also analyses materials that have been developed for teaching English for Land Surveying.
Then, it tries to establish what units are responsible for teaching LSPand how English for Land Surveying modules are structured and organized. First, it investigates which Polish universities offer Land Surveying courses and whether they have English for Land Surveying in their curriculum. This paper focuses on teaching Land Surveying (Geodetic) English to the native speakers of Polish. Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) focuses on teaching a foreign language to learners who have specific needs: they either need to learn a language for their occupation (Language for Occupational Purposes) or for their studies (Language for Academic Purposes).
