Technical English is a four-level course for students in technical or vocational education, and for company employees in training at work. It covers the core language and skills that students need to communicate successfully in all technical and industrial specialisations. Level 4 is for Upper-Intermediate students and covers CEF levels B2 to C1. The Teacher's Book with Test Master CD-ROM provides full support for level 4. It also supports teachers with explanations of key technical concepts in the course. The Test Master CD-ROM contains a range of tests to support teachers.
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.
