Assessment of acquiring English scientific literacy og engineering graduates via analysis of their productive activity

In Izhevsk State Technical University (ISTU) CLIL is adopted for teaching / learning at English classes of machine engineering magistracy students. One of the main objectives of employing CLIL is to acquire students' both written and oral English scientific literacy. The complex examination of the gained graduates' academic language skills was made during the magistracy student research conference held on April, 2011 in ISTU.
