Different Approaches to Learning English
People acquire knowledge in different ways depending on their predispositions or aspirations. Students who are good at mathematics and technical sciences might approach the English language learning differently from the students studying at faculties of social sciences and humanities. Therefore, a survey was conducted among the students of three faculties: the Libertas Business School in Kutina, the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb with the purpose of statistical data analysis showing how students of different specialisations approached learning grammar and vocabulary and what their attitudes were toward the importance of English both in their everyday life and in their profession, taking their study course into account. The paper also calculates the correlation between the estimated knowledge and knowledge of specialised vocabulary shown in written test. The results show slight differences in attitudes and preferred method of language learning in relation to the specific study programme. The differences in terms of gender have been shown to be insignificant. The students of Electrical Engineering and Computing and of Business Economics find the knowledge of English more important for their profession than the students of Food Technology and Biotechnology. The students, who estimated their knowledge of English to be better and had no difficulties expressing their opinion and attitudes in English, also achieved better results in the written vocabulary test.
