Abstract

This paper presents illustrations from a learning unit in a course of English for academic purposes for second year students at the Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University. Pragmatic criteria were taken into consideration on text selection and the organization of the unit. The students' experience and needs are the primary concern. The student assessment of the unit in comparison with non Faculty-specific materials was undertaken when the unit was first used in 1983. A set of rating scales was used as the instrument. The results of the evaluation revealed a positive response towards the unit represented by a significant increase of percentage from 63-54 for non Faculty-specific materials to 79.84 for this unit.
