Synopsis

This course is intended for both students of computing and those working in the computing sector. It is suitable for learners at elementary to pre-intermediate level who need to upgrade their knowledge of English in a professional context. It is designed for use in universities, colleges, and technical schools, and on company training programs. There are twenty-eight topic-based units covering a range of key areas from computer uses and applications, through input and output devices, networks, the Internet, multimedia, programming, and work issues through to future trends in the computing sector. Six additional 'interview' units focus on six different jobs in the sector, from computing student to systems manager. Key language and vocabulary are presented via a range of authentic contexts. The course aims to develop all four skills, with special emphasis on those which will be of practical use in professional situations.
