Description
Infotech, second edition, is a comprehensive course for intermediate level learners who need to be able to understand and use the English of computing for study and work. Thoroughly revised and updated to take into account the fast moving world of computers and multi media, it does not, however, require a specialist knowledge of computers on either the part of the student or teacher. The 30 units are organised into seven thematically linked sections and cover a wide range of subjects. Key features of the students' book include: ? development of all four skills ? a wide variety of tasks and styles of presentation to engage the learner ? authentic reading texts from the world of computing ? a systematic approach to language development ? emphasis on vocabulary acquisition and word building techniques ? a comprehensive glossary of technical terms ? grammar reference sections
