Floor Plans 1 Overview
What You Will Learn
Floor Plans 1 teaches English vocabulary for reading and describing architectural floor plans. You will learn how to describe room locations, explain spatial relationships, and use direction vocabulary for floor plan orientation. This course helps architects, engineers, and construction professionals communicate more clearly about building layouts in English.
Who Should Take This Course
This course is for construction professionals who need English vocabulary for architectural floor plans:
Architects and Designers working on international projects need English to discuss spatial concepts, room layouts, and building organization with clients and project teams.
Engineers (structural, MEP, civil) must understand floor plan vocabulary to coordinate designs, discuss spatial requirements, and participate in design meetings in English.
Construction Managers and Site Supervisors use floor plans daily to coordinate work, explain locations to subcontractors, and communicate with owners about project progress.
Interior Designers and Space Planners need architectural vocabulary to describe layouts, discuss design concepts, and coordinate with architects on projects using English.
Students in architecture, engineering, or construction programs preparing for international careers benefit from specialized vocabulary training.
Learning Approach
The course uses a three-step learning sequence:
Think: Checkpoint activities help you identify which terms you know and which need focused study.
Study: Video lectures present vocabulary with real floor plan examples. Each video teaches meaning, form, and pronunciation together. Videos include practice for pronunciation and immediate application.
Practice: Interactive exercises help you apply vocabulary through labeling floor plan elements, describing spatial relationships, and writing short descriptions of layouts.
