Historic Buildings Conservation and Restoration (HBCR) seeks to develop dual themes, i.e. helping the students to practice and
promote their knowledge of the English language as well as being acquainted with the basic concepts in HBCR. To achieve the dual goals it makes use of a rather wide range of modern language teaching techniques to reinforce the studentsʼ knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing ability within the context of HBCR. Some of the concepts it deals with are: Materials used in historic buildings, assessing values in conservation planning, seismic stabilization of historic structures, Islamic architecture, and new materials for conservation and cultural heritage.
