What is EST?

EST :- ENGLISH FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

          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 IIT's, 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.

Different course in teaching of English.

•Natural science

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 often a complex one characterized by a conglomerate of per-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 different rather than figurative circumlocution.

Conclusion:-

                         EST is English foe academic purpose thus its chief aim is to complete the requirements and needs of the students as well as organization, and for that need analysis is necessary and the analysis should be kept in mind, materials and methods of teaching should be according to need analysis. And for that a professor V. Chandra Sekhar Rao suggested that Learner centered approach is of worth.
