Recent changes on the global labour market provoked significant changes in requirements to qualification of a modern engineer. Nowadays, the desired attributes of an engineering graduate include not only professional knowledge, but also high-level communication skills. Engineering education in countries where the native language is not English - such as Russia - is also influenced by the need to develop foreign language skills to enable competitiveness of their graduates in modern society. The importance of learning foreign languages and ability to apply them in technical communication has increased dramatically in the last decade.
