Complex of exercises for teaching civil engineering students how to write a covering letter in english

Балацька, О.Л.

The article presents a complex of exercises which can be used for teaching civil engineering students how to write an English-language covering letter. Taking into consideration crucial importance of job-seekers’ business writing skills, namely their ability to write a covering letters to get the job they want, I consider it important to allocate at the minimum three double lessons, i.e. six academic hours, to teach students how to write a covering letter in English. During those classes students will have to do a complex of exercises, totaling up to fifteen specifically developed for that purpose. As long as a covering letter is a clichéd and standardized document and structure and form of covering letters is quite similar, it is expedient to teach students how to write a covering letter by using a combined text-genre and procedural approach.
