ASSIGNMENT 6 - English Programs for Foreign Students

.................... There is a growing need to provide more technical English programs to foreign students. First, the most popular major among foreign students in the United States is Business & Management Engineering. Over 19% of foreign students studying in America major in Business and over 15% major in Engineering. This means that more than 34% of all foreign students are studying either engineering or business and management. However, the need for more technical English programs does not end there. More technical English programs are needed for mathematics, computer science and social sciences. Over 27% of foreign students major in these fields which also require technical English. Over all, the number of foreign students majoring in business, science or math greatly out-weighs the number of students studying other subjects therefore increasing the need to provide more technical English programs.

A little bit difficult in understanding after reading fast. Technical English program is increasing and necessary? Uhm.... I am a kind of engineer now. Engineering English is easier than plain English. What do you think?

Mr. Lee and Mr. Ahn suggested a kind of party as they missed our Outback time. They want a drink time. Can you make a schedule for a casual English Program next week?
