IEEE: A New English Education System for First Year Students at Institutes of Technology in Tokai

该研究的目的是为东海地区工学院工程专业的一年级学生开发一种新的英语教育系统。我们为TEEE（东海工程英语教育）创建了一个英语教师网络，以澄清当前的问题，开发一种新的方法，并将其应用于我们的学生。研究结果表明，通过TEEE系统教授ESP（特殊用途英语）不仅对研究生有效，而且对一年级学生也有效，因为学生通常有很强的动力学习科学和工程，尽管他们的技术和英语知识非常有限。

The aim of the research is to develop a new English education system for first year students majoring in engineering at institutes of technology in the Tokai area. We created an English teachers' network for TEEE (Tokai English Education for Engineering Students), in order to clarify current problems, to develop a new methodology, and to apply it to our students. Results of the study suggested that teaching ESP (English for Specific Purposes) through the TEEE system can be effective not only for graduate students but also for first year students, since students are generally highly motivated to study science and engineering although their technical and English knowledge is very limited.
