— In the last twenty years, English for Specific
Purposes (ESP) courses have become very popular due to
the growth of science, technology, politics and economics,
and also due to the condition of lingua franca of English
language. From then on, the implementation of English
specific courses has spread throughout the world and can be
found in almost every educational institution. ESP courses
at Universitat Jaume I (Castellón, Spain) are present in
almost all the degrees. The objective of this paper was
twofold: firstly, we describe the relevance of the English
language in the Computer Engineering degree as students
have to complete 6 European Credit Transfer System
(ECTS) credits of the English subject in the first year and
carry out activities in the English language corresponding to
at least another 12 ECTS credits in the second, third and
fourth year; and secondly, we explain the close cooperation
between professors from the Computer Engineering
department and professors from the English Studies
department. This collaboration brings about the design and
implementation of a rubric that is used to assess the
compulsory oral presentations in English in the fourth year
courses in the Computer Engineering Degree. [-]
