  • 3. ROR icon OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University

Description

This dataset contains the full curricular analysis conducted for the study “The Language of Engineers: Assessing Preparation for Workplace English Communication Requirements in Turkish Engineering Curricula.” It includes all coded course-level data from 10 Turkish universities (2,156 courses), the complete coding scheme, the variable-level codebook, and extracted communicative task and CDF (Cognitive Discourse Function) data.

The materials document how each course was analyzed for:

  • explicit and implicit promotion of English communication skills,

  • academic vs. workplace-oriented communication focus,

  • presence of communicative tasks, and

  • occurrence of CDF verbs based on Dalton-Puffer (2013).

All datasets are provided in Excel format along with a detailed codebook to support transparency, replicability, and further research.
