Basic Technical English
Basic Technical English is a reading course for beginner/elementary level students in secondary schools, vocational schools and colleges, or in-company training programs. The main aim of the course is to develop confidence and ability in extracting information from technical manuals and textbooks in a wide range of technical areas including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, workshop practice, electronics, etc.
The course involves approximately 70-80 hours of classroom teaching. There are 24 units; each unit is divided into 4 sections: 1) PRESENTATION: new language features presented in a technical text, 2) PRACTICE: exploitation of new features and recycling of previous units, 3) DEVELOPMENT: further practice in context of another topic, 4) SUMMARY: sentence patterns, discourse connectors, reference devices, vocabulary.
The teacher's book gives clear and detailed guidance on how to present each unit. It also suggests further ways of extending the exercises, and provides background to the methodology and material that have been selected. A full key is include in the Teacher's Book.
