The purpose of the article is to put forward English monologue production assessment criteria to verify the efficiency of the devised methodology of teaching English for future mechanical engineers. In the course of the research, theoretical, empirical, and statistical methods have been used. Various approaches to identifying the assessment criteria have been thoroughly analyzed. Seven criteria to assess the monologue production skills, five primary and two secondary ones, have been suggested. The allocation of the points by every criterion according to the devised scales have been elucidated. The proposed assessment criteria were used in the methodological experiment that was held at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv National Technical University. The experiment in question aimed to verify the efficiency of the devised methodology of teaching English monologue production to students majoring in mechanical engineering. Three experimental groups, 34 students in total, studying in their final year of Bachelor studies within the Subject Areas of Applied Mechanics and Industrial Engineering, participated in the methodological experiment. The conducted experiment confirmed the efficiency of the methodology proposed.

The present paper analyzes and discusses of the best practices offered by the Russian universities in the field of organization of practice-based training in engineering specializations. Based on the integrated approach to forming professional competences and generic skills in university engineering graduates, the professional portfolio of a university engineering graduate is viewed as the three in one set of competences including those in research, engineering and development entrepreneurship. Based on the review of documentation, reports, information databases, including the analysis of the statistical findings, the authors discuss the main global trends in the development of engineering education and training and offer the solutions to tackle the priority objectives in organizational field of university performance, teaching and learning processes organization and teaching aids development. The article discusses the educational practices of the six leading Russian engineering universities from the standpoint of the implemented teaching and learning formats, correspondent teaching aids development and the organizational solutions. The authors dwell on the example of Tomsk polytechnic university (TPU) in providing practice-based training to university students in physics, the critical organizational solutions in teaching and learning as well as approaches to teaching aids development that enable to shape the professional portfolio of a future engineer from the viewpoint of professional competences and generic skills enhancement. The discussed TPU experience in the field of practice-based training in physics is realized in compliance with the complex, integrative approach to forming the trinity of research, engineering, and entrepreneurship competences in a university engineering graduate. The designed system of practice-based engineering training implemented at TPU can be successfully extrapolated to the bachelor, master and PhD degree training of engineering students.

This descriptive qualitative research deals with classroom interaction in teaching English for mechanical engineering students. This research aims at finding out and describing the classroom interaction of mechanical engineering class at Universitas Harapan Medan. The purpose of this study is to figure out the patterns of classroom interaction in English teaching learning process for mechanical engineering class. The methods used in collecting data were observation and interview. The data were in the form of words, clauses, and sentences that carried out by video, and in-depth interview transcripts. The participants were an English lecturer and twenty two mechanical engineering students. The technique of data analysis used data collection, data diplay and drawing conclusion. The result of this research was dominated by the interaction between the teacher and students. The percentage of using English  between lecturer and students’ interaction is 40 %. It happened because the students had difficult to respon the lecturer’s question in English.

Language is a powerful weapon which can make or mar a scenario. To update such a language, we need to enlarge the linguistic skills. Teaching is successful, when the appropriate methodology is chosen according to the concept. This paper caters the best pedagogical tool to learn and teach English idioms for L2 learners of engineering students in an efficient way. Storytelling aids the learners to comprehend and remember the idioms easily. Storytelling method for teaching idioms is suitable from kinder garden children to scholars. Basically, learning idioms is not a piece of cake; this is the tenet of students. This paper will break this myth and make L2 learners of English to love English idiom usage willingly.

This research had aimed to describe the use of M-Learning in teaching English for Civil Engineering students at Harapan University of Medan. M-learning as Digital teaching materials were made based on the students need which consist of learning materials. M-learning as Digital teaching materials can be used by lecturer to create more interesting learning materials, by adding videos and animations. The use of M-learning as digital teaching materials was examined based on concepts understanding and students’ response. The subject of this research was 25 students of engineering students. The concepts of understanding were measured by exam test. The students' response was measured based on Likert-scales. The data analysis used was a descriptive statistic. The method of this research was quantitative method. Waterfall model was used in designing M-learning material. The results of this research is the score of students’ conceptual understanding x = (85 ± 8) and students’ response can be categorized very good (percentage of effectiveness are 85%). The results showed that the use of M-learning as digital teaching materials are effective to use in teaching English for civil engineering students at Harapan University of Medan.
