Technical English in Petroleum Engineering

Viac o knihe

This coursebook is designed for intermediate and higher-level students in technical colleges and universities, along with their instructors, aiming to enhance their technical vocabulary in petroleum engineering. It serves as a resource for a one-semester course (approximately 45 teaching hours) for students with an intermediate knowledge of English (level B1 or higher). The oil engineering field demands professionals who can communicate effectively in English and understand their specialized jargon. The book's goal is to aid in acquiring language structures and vocabulary specific to the oil industry. While not an engineering text, it offers a representative review of essential technical aspects, linking language learning to practical oil engineering contexts. Comprising 17 chapters, each includes selected source texts and dedicated exercises to practice vocabulary in real-world scenarios. A glossary of technical terms in petroleum engineering is provided for convenience, with carefully chosen translations for many lexical items. Answers to selected exercises are also included. The coursebook features a graphic code: source texts are highlighted in blue frames, lexical exercises in green, and orange frames are designated for students' notes.
