Jürgen Habermas suggested that it is through communicative action, that is reasoned and open discourse, that we transmit, change, and recreate cultural knowledge, and that in so-doing we can achieve mutual understanding. 

Communicative action and communicative rationality are self-reflexive dialogues through which we can learn from others, question dominant paradigms, and advocate for cultural change.

Science Communication

Communication skills are recognized as an integral component of professional competence in engineering education, complementing technical proficiency. English language educators play a significant role in developing communication skills among engineering students. Nevertheless, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in English most often overlook the inclusion of courses on science communication in the curriculum. As a result, research scholars in English who aspire to take up faculty positions in the engineering institutes do not get any formal training in science communication before entering academia. This FDP aims to bridge this gap by equipping English language educators with the skills necessary to become effective science communicators.
