Introduction This textbook is intended for students of materials science, of different branches of engineering and of related disciplines who need to re-activate their English language skills. Using authentic materials and figures selected from scientific texts, students will improve their reading, writing and speaking skills in a context relevant to their specialist studies. This work does not attempt to teach the subject of materials science. In addition to covering linguistic features specific to scientific and technical purposes, this book also presents review and practice activities in common problem areas of general English usage. The material for the textbook has been developed and tested in classes at the English Department of the University of Stuttgart over several semesters, and it addresses most of the problems English-language learners confront. Students’ feedback has been incorporated
