Poetry for engineers
an article by Anke Stöver-Blahak
Engineers, or so it is generally thought, have no linguistic or artistic talent and no interest in art. Consequently, when thinking about how to provide linguistic preparation or support to engineering students, the focus in many cases is on German as a foreign language lessons with a solely content-based or technical language orientation.
Language courses offered at Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH) reveal that engineering students find courses with an entirely different and more holistic approach and content to be useful and helpful in their studies.
