CONTENTS

1/ Enseigner l'anglais pour la technologie. J.C. Viel - 2000
The article ( written in French) defines the scope of English for technology, then discusses needs analysis, before focusing on  some of its rhetorical macro-structures. It also analyses  the language ( lexis and grammar) to be taught before suggesting some teaching strategies and approaches.

2/ Engineering student email exchange. J.C. Viel - 1999 - 2000
Unlike what is usually done in email exchanges, Prof. Coleman and I didn't have our students write about Christmas, their home town or local food. Instead, we organised an activity in which engineering students had to use English in order to read and write about technology while simulating industrial activities and designing new technological products. A detailed report stressing the positive and negative aspects and suggesting hints for anyone interested.

3/ When EST is not the same as EST... J.C. Viel - 2000
This article compares and contrasts  EST  in  a native speaker of English environment and in a non-native one.

4/ Orientations nouvelles  - BTS   J.C.Viel - 2001
This article ( sorry, it's written in French!) is aimed at French BTS teachers and analyses new teaching trends in relation with the future BTS exam. Having received an Inspecteur Pédagogique Régional's full aproval it has to be taken into serious consideration  as it points towards major pedagogic changes.

4/ The vocabulary of English for scientific and technological occupational purposes   J.C. Viel - 2002
Enlarging on 'Enseigner l'anglais pour la technologie'  (see above), the article further discusses the vocabulary usually  said to belong to the domain of  EST strictly and the one  useful for scientific and technological occupational purposes.
The article has been published in ESP World (volume 1 - issue #1)

5 / An overview of modal auxiliary verbs in E.S.T. J.C. Viel - 2002
The article compares the uses of modal auxiliaries in E.S.T. with those in General Purpose English, analyses their occurrences and meanings so as to point out similarities and differences and to establish and interpret their functions in EST.
The article has been published in ESP World (volume 1 - issue #3).

6/ Modality in English and Hungarian Drug Information Leaflets Anita Hegedus - 2003
Though it is not concerned with English for Engineering, this article may be of interest to ESP teachers. it may also be read in connection with the article just above.
