INDEX • Introduction• What is science and technology?• What is EST? • What is need of EST?• Different course in teaching of English.• Structure of technical English and teaching

materials.• Conclusion.

INTRODUCTION • The term EST was given by R.S.Sharma

through his research work.• English is global language and that is why we

will find English language all most in every field.• There are many languages, English is used

prominently in the field of science and technology.

WHAT IS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY?

• Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world.

• Technology is the making, usage and knowledge of tools, techniques ,crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or serve some purpose.

Here are the some symbols which represents the English language in the science and technology

WHAT IS EST? • As learner and features of technical English taken tougher

will enable us to outline clearly the materials and methods use in science and technical students.

• Teaching of EST in India suffers from some serious drawbacks.

• The course & methods are unrelated to the specific academic and professional needs of the science student.

• In 1977, it was realized that the problems of English for special purposes were largely unrecognized this country.

• Wherever necessary in IITs, engineering or agriculture students in role, processes and context of major subject matter of which area course and teaching English methods.

WHAT IS NEED OF EST?• The learner’s profile would suggest that the student, who has

been admitted to the FY of B.Sc. or B.Tech course thought an admission text, possesses intelligence & attainment above the average.

• General English, communicative competence in English, medical work, language-games and mechanical learning have learn with understanding.

• Therefore, here basic need is an ability to gather scientific knowledge found in text-books and scientific journals & research of English language.

• It is also to be noted that English is a second languages for the learner and mother tongue is one of the regional languages which is the medium of communication in nearly all situations except class room & laboratory.

Reading and comprehension of technical texts written in English.

Writing of technical English.

Since most of the teaching material in the form of video & computer software is being produced in

English as standard spoken English can’t be totally neglected.

• Natural science• Formal science• Social and behavioral

science• Applied science• psychology

DIFFERENT COURSE IN TEACHING OF ENGLISH.

STRUCTURE OF TECHNICAL ENGLISH AND TEACHING MATERIALS.

• Speaking, technical language is a situational verity employed for communication, in a systematical manner of a particular branch of knowledge pertaining to nature and conditions of life. Technical writing is thus relevant as much to the law or philosophy as to electronics or biology.

• The most obvious characteristic feature of technical English is vocabulary, which function as productive factors for word formation.

• Herbert has pointed out create much difficulty because they used in both technical and non technical meaning.

• We find that the noun phrase in T.E. is not unoften a complex one characterized by a conglomerate of pre-head noun modifiers and post-head prepositional or participial phrases or relatives clause.

• Technical language follows the principles of economy & conscienceless therefore avoids periphrasis and rhetorical expression laying emphasis on diffenrt rather than figurative circumlocution.

CONCLUSION

• So we conclude that EST is important to teaching English as science and technical student. And how English has technical language use in different fields.

• Learner’s need and technical English taken tougher will now enable as to characterize in a precise way the teaching materials most suitable for our science and technology students.
