English for ICT Studies Teacher's Book Synopsis

English for ICT Studies in Higher Education Studies

The Garnet Education English for Specific Academic Purposes series won the Duke of Edinburgh English Speaking Union English Language Book Award in 2009.

English for ICT Studies is a skills-based course designed specifically for students of ICT who are about to enter English-medium tertiary level studies. It provides carefully graded practice and progressions in the key academic skills that all students need, such as listening to lectures and speaking in seminars. It also equips students with the specialist language they need to participate successfully within an ICT faculty. Extensive listening exercises come from ICT lectures, and all reading texts are taken from the same field of study. There is also a focus throughout on the key ICT vocabulary that students will need.

The Teacher's Book includes:

• Comprehensive teaching notes on all exercises to help teachers prepare effective lessons
• Complete answer keys to all exercises
• Full transcripts of listening exercises
• Facsimiles of Course Book pages at the appropriate point in each unit
• Photocopiable resource pages and ideas for additional activities

The Garnet English for Specific Academic Purposes series covers a range of academic subjects. All titles present the same skills and vocabulary points.
