About This Course
Technical Communication prepares Institute for Industrial Technology students for external examinations while equipping them to express themselves effectively in English for technical and professional contexts. Over 80 intensive hours across two weeks, learners revise the building blocks of English grammar, then progress to essays, letters, comprehension, summary writing, and formal report writing.
The course develops proficiency in English usage, comprehension, writing, and oral communication so that technicians can read technical material accurately, write clear reports and correspondence, and engage confidently in structured discussions and debates. Every skill is tied to real workplace communication tasks a mechatronics technician will face on the job.
Course Content
Remedial English
Rebuild your command of English from the ground up: parts of speech, articles, tenses, punctuation and concord, then phrases and clauses, direct and indirect speech, synonyms and antonyms, idioms and figures of speech. You will put it to work writing essays, letters and well-structured paragraphs for technical and professional contexts.
Comprehension and Summary Writing
Read closely and write concisely. This module builds the skills to answer comprehension questions, pick out main ideas and summarise passages accurately, appreciate imagery, style and literary genres, and craft your own simple literary pieces — the reading and analysis skills prized in technical work and examinations.
Report Writing
Produce the reports industry runs on. You will classify report types, select and organise relevant data, and write clear reports using the correct layout, style and mechanics, then analyse sample reports and consolidate your essay, comprehension and oral-communication skills for the final assessment.
