The main purpose of this textbook is to providethe studenLsthe basic gnammatical to and lexicalstructures of technicalenglishin onden improvethein comprehensionand, their own ideas in technicalmatbers. to if possible, make them communicate Since the attention ls dinected mainly to the language, not to technical details of english matenials,tools on machines,the text can be used with confidenceby gener-al technicalknowledge. teachenswho have liuule The vocabularyand grammar have been canefullyselected and gnaded. They ane common to technical litenatureon woodwork, metalwork,technical drawing, mechanics on elecbricity. The texUis dividedinto five units, each one based on technicalmaterial of all tnades. Ahhough it is assumedthat students using this book have alreadyreceiveda certain tr.ainingin the english language at the basic school, there is a fir-st unit intended to neededat this level. check some genenalgramman requinements in linguiscmatenialis presentedthrough common siLuations dialogues,picbures The texbs.Then, it can be pnactisedand reinforcedin vocabularyand gramman and r-eading exercises,which may be onalon wnitten.
