About this product
Product Information
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 to developing academic skills through relevant content. Focus on receptive skills (reading and listening) to activate productive skills (writing and speaking) in subject area. Eight-page units combine language and academic skills teaching. Vocabulary and academic skills bank in each unit for reference and revision. Audio CDs for further self-study or homework. Ideal coursework for EAP teachers.

Reviews
English for Environmental Science is the most recent title in the ESAP series which at present consists of eight titles in which Garnet Education have done their best to bring out a specific focus to EAP, hence the amended acronym/abbreviation: ESAP: English for Specific Academic Purposes. The titles of the other books in the series are: English for Management Studies, English for Medicine, English for Banking, English for Business Studies, English for Law, English for Language and Linguistics and English for Tourism and Hospitality. This book focuses on practice of relevant academic skills with emphasis on listening (supported by speaking) in odd-numbered units and reading (supported by writing) in even-numbered units. The 12 units deal with subjects and themes that are an integral part of environmental science, such as: What is environmental science? (Unit 1), What do environmental scientists do? (Unit 2), The atmosphere (Unit 3), Computers in environmental science (Unit 4), Energy resources (Unit 5), Soil as a resource (Unit 6), Recycling waste (Unit 7), Ecosystems (Unit 8), Preserving biodiversity (Unit 9), Pollution (Unit 10), Agriculture (Unit 11) and Sustainability (Unit 12). Each unit also has a specific vocabulary focus, and occasional emphasis on phonology. The listening passage for each unit is included on one of the two CDs which are attached to the inside back cover of the Student's Book. Unit 3 (The atmosphere) starts with a vocabulary lead-in, and a set of questions serving the purpose of a pre-listening discussion. The pictures on the opposite page further contextualize the exercises in the warm-up activities. The listening section of the unit exploits a full range of listening activities, including preparing for a lecture, predicting lecture content, making notes, and answering wh- questions and true or false questions. In the Extending skill section, learners' attention is drawn to phonology (identifying main stress in multi-syllable words) as well as being expected to do some mini-research related to the topic of the lecture. In the same unit there is also an extension lecture whose topic complements that of the first lecture. There are relevant exercises to go with this lecture, too. The second lecture is accompanied with a full-colour visual which aids the comprehension. The unit culminates with very useful 'banks': a vocabulary bank (focusing on stress in multi-syllable words) and a skills bank (focusing on getting information from other people and reporting information to other people). Unit 3 in the Teacher's Book provides a carefully written and graded set of instructions to an ESAP teacher who is also informed on the lesson aims. In the Teacher's Book, there are three types of notes that offer assistance to teachers: subject, methodology and language notes. The unit contains specimen answers to all the exercises as well as transcripts of the relevant lecture excerpts used as listening passages. The units exploiting reading passages follow a similar conceptual framework which is exceptionally logical and user-friendly. English for Environmental Science successfully bridges a gap in the area of ESAP where there has always been a need for a specific publication. The book offers a cutting-edge state-of-the-art resource to students and teachers dealing with environmental science. It can be used on pre-sessional or foundation courses for international students who have chosen this particular specialism. The learners will find the content of the book highly interesting and exceptionally useful, while EAP teachers will appreciate the value of the excellent teacher's book which offers invaluable advice, guidance and support.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
