Abstract

Innumerable flock of engineers does not conceive English language adeptly. This research scrutinizes linguistic disciplinarian as regards English for Engineering.

Translations, (ii). Supply Chain, (iii). Operation Manual Documents, (iv). Standard Operation Procedures, and (v). Object-oriented Analysis and Design/ OOAD. Foregoing multivariate language’s scope in English intermittently mystifies the engineer whether the grammar, structure, meaning, or the principle is common or not; a specific-based linguistic (English for Engineering) can expedite both technicians’ advance English learning furtherance and broaden the significance of English for Specific Purpose (ESP), later on.
