In addition to providing reading practice, this textbook aims to: " Teach grammar through examples of real usage. " Provide practice in the writing styles commonly used in science and engineering: explanation, persuasion, and critical analysis. " Provide opportunities for verbal practice through class discussion " Encourage English learners to read independently and to learn language through reading.
