English for Materials Science prepares students of Materials Science and Engineering to study effectively in English at university level.
• The book includes passages covering terminology from the basic areas in the field as these are covered in an introductory university course and helps the student
consolidate specialized language vocabulary through a wide range of exercises.
• It includes listening exercises based on videos with relevant topics.
• It provides students with the theoretical background and practical help in
developing essential skills in academic writing.
• It familiarizes students with the ways that grammar deviates from general language
usage in academic texts providing exercises tailored in their own field study.
