English for Environmental Science 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 Environmental Science is a skills-based
course designed specifically for students of environmental science
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 a
environmental science department. Extensive listening exercises
come from environmental science lectures, and all reading texts are
taken from the same field of study. There is also a focus
throughout on the key environmental science vocabulary that
students will need. *Listening: how to understand and take
effective notes on extended lectures, including how to follow the
argument and identify the speaker's point of view. *Speaking: how
to participate effectively in a variety of realistic situations,
from seminars to presentations, including how to develop an
argument and use stance markers. *Reading: how to understand a wide
range of texts, from academic textbooks to Internet articles,
including how to analyze complex sentences and identify such things
as the writer's stance. *Writing: how to produce coherent and
well-structured assignments, including such skills as paraphrasing
and the use of the appropriate academic phrases. *Vocabulary: a
wide range of activities to develop students' knowledge and use of
key vocabulary, both in the field of environmental science and of
academic study in general. *Vocabulary and Skills banks: a
reference source to provide students with revision of the key words
and phrases and skills presented in each unit. *Full transcripts of
all listening exercises. The Garnet English for Specific Academic
Purposes series covers a range of academic subjects. All titles
present the same skills and vocabulary points. Teachers can
therefore deal with a range of ESAP courses at the same time,
knowing that each subject title will focus on the same key skills
and follow the same structure. Key Features * Systematic approach
