The Motivation and Attitude of Engineering Students Towards Learning Technical English at The University of Lahore, Lahore

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the inspiration and attitude of students toward learning Technical English (TE). The students of the School of Engineering from The University of Lahore (UOL) were taken as samples.  Survey and questionnaire were employed by the researchers to investigate the motivation and attitudes of students towards learning Technical English writing. The assessment particularly analyzed the origin of their enthusiasm: do the students work hard to learn Technical English to maintain a high GPA or do they have their inspiration? The result of this research uncovered that the participants have optimistic attitudes towards learning Technical English and suppose it will further lift their position and future job perspectives. Although there was no divergence in attitude and level of enthusiasm between the gender orientations, there was uniqueness in performance regarding educational goals. To attain definite results about the engineering students’ attitude towards learning the English language the results are analyzed percentage-wise. There is no doubt that the English language has become a language of Science, Technology, and Business. Having a good perception of Technical language is the demand of many professions. Often in the fields of educational settings Information Technologies, Engineering, and Medicine, there is a need to implement the use of Technical language. Technical English language

 learning (TELL) is an essential and significant constituent of engineering. In the last decades, English courses for particular groups of learners have become extremely important. English for specific purposes has set up its technique with financial, technological, and scientific expansion. For scholars to develop technical and scientific literacy, they need to increase their knowledge of technology. The progress of any scientific field is impossible without knowledge of the Technical English language
