The language of technology needs to be taught accurately by a person with good skills in the subjects being taught. Students on a technical English course need to have language explained to them in the context of their work, for that is where they need it. Also, safety aspects may be at stake, so misunderstandings of language must be avoided. Only a trainer with specific skills knowledge can offer such assurances to students.
