![]() CONTRASTIVE TEACHING APPROACH IMPLEMENTATION IN THE ENGLISH IN GEOTECHNICS COURSE AT THE TODOR KABLESHKOV UNIVERSITY OF TRANSPORT
Boryana T. Ruzhekova-Rogozherova The paper comments on the characteristics of a new for the institution ESP (English in geotechnics) curriculum developed by the author. The article lays emphasis on the implementation, within the course material, of an essential language awareness procedure, such as the contrastive teaching method, often complemented by the comparative teaching approach, and contributing to learners’ grammar communicative competence enhancement. Illustrative instances are excerpted from ESP materials taught to students and examined with their active participation. Although the curriculum allows the contrastive presentation and consolidation of various grammar categories, the study considers, for the purpose of conciseness, the contrastive approach application in teaching the essence, meaning and use of – ed / - ing adjectives in English. The mentioned category turns out to be widely used in technical English texts and, consequently, s more detailed examination.
