Sources of Information and Engineering Students’ Language Performance

The sources of information or learning resources are texts, videos, software and other materials that teachers use to assist students to meet the expectations for learning defined by the curricula. They represent one of the prerequisites of language performance in technical higher education. In our informational, globalized and multicultural world, any language teacher, irrespective of the language taught, must inspire and make good use of any teaching and learning resources available, be they didactic or not. Continuous and efficient exposure to language may be ensured by resorting not only to teachers, manuals and libraries but also to the Internet and Mass-media.
