• Visual meaning in science and technology

• Needs analysis in English for Science and Technology

• Teaching approaches suitable for English for Science and Technology, and materials development and assessment in English for Science and Technology

Drawing on up-to-date research and teaching methods, the book is key reading for practising and pre-service teachers of both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of science and technology, teachers in an English Medium Instruction (EMI) context, as well as content specialists interested improving their students' writing.
