Technical English

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Technical English stands out as a model for how these complex, multi-content, essential learning tools can be put together. The typography is clear and tidy, the colour tints are carefully chosen and the whole book shows exemplary attention to detail. Beyond pre-press, the materials are of high quality and the repro and presswork of a similar, high standard."; "As a supplementary book, Technical English is user-friendly with clear indexing. Relevant and clear illustrations along with an authentic final task in every unit ensure this book is set apart from your average workbook...sits well on your resource shelf." - English Teaching Professional 2004; "This is a technical English book with a difference. Instead of trying to teach the technical it concentrates on the language of the technical. It aims to develop the vocabulary and grammar required to communicate technical English from intermediate level. The layout is simple. Each unit is a double page spread with the language clearly presented on the left-hand page and the exercise on the right...It is useful as a practice book and as a reference work, for both self study and classroom use." - English Teaching Matters; "Defining exactly what technical English consists of is no easy matter, making this a welcome attempt to provide useful support material. Used judiciously, it should prove of great benefit." - EL Gazette; "...attractively presented and informative book...many visual supports, including drawings and cut-outs from trade newspapers. Chapters 30 to 49 introduce new language elements, such as passive structures and relevant prepositions. These chapters, too, are a pleasure to work with." - Business Spotlight;
