Abstract

This paper aims at search for good teaching method in order to improve specialized English ability of engineering students, which will be used as one practical and effective solution to the employment problems of graduates. The teaching content should be built in the following phrases, that is, developing respective document for the base text, taking positive part in teaching steps for the core, and making active practices in speaking and writing for the addition. The teaching method should be developed emphasizing the communication ability of engineering students, and proceeded in English medium instruction. The reform of teaching method and contents of specialized English to engineering students will boost the overall quality ever to succeed in future completion of job-looking and promotion opportunity.
