English for Academic Research: A Guide for Teachers Scientific English is possibly the most rewarding area of EFL teaching. It differs from English for Academic Purposes (EAP) as it is directed to a much smaller audience: PhD and postdoc students. Courses on Scientific English are held in universities throughout the world, yet there is very little support for teachers in understanding what to teach and how to teach it.
No Wonder You Wonder! Great Inventions and Scientific Mysteries
This book explores and explains scientific mysteries and principles, leavened with tongue-in-cheek humor and an abundance of illustrations. Chapters are short, but give an understanding of technology and science not available elsewhere.
The aim of this book is to develop a basic knowledge of how English is used or communication in mechanical engineering. It is intended for students who already know how to handle the common English sentence patterns but who need to learn how these patterns are used in scientific and technical writing to convey information and to develop logical arguments.
The exercises direct the student's attention to certain features of English which are specific to scientific and technical writing. The aim is to provide the student with a strategy for reading more difficult engineering texts and to prepare him for making effective use of English in his own writing.

Nature is a prominent scientific journal, first published on 4 November 1869. Although most scientific journals are now highly specialized, Nature is one of the few journals, along with other weekly journals such as Science and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, that still publishes original research articles across a wide range of scientific fields. In many fields of scientific research, important new advances and original research are published as articles or letters in Nature.
