dc.description.abstract | Engineering education has now put emphasis on writing skills that is considered equally
important in shaping competent engineers. Academic Writing as an English for Specific
Purposes (ESP) course equips students with essential writing skills for engineering academic
and professional tasks. This study is undertaken with the aim to investigate the strengths
and weaknesses of the current Academic Writing course offered at a technical university.
The findings are crucial for the course's continuous improvement. This paper will report
quantitative data through the questionnaire method employed that involves the feedback of
100 enrolled students. It comprises four dimensions namely course contents, materials and
resources, testing and assessment, and academic instruction. The results reveal some
constructive feedback from students that includes the need to improve in course materials
and resources due to lack of study materials, as well as a call for the academic instruction
by instructors to be improved. Suggestions and recommendations are made in order to
contribute to continuous quality improvement for the course. | en_US |
