English for Science Communication

English for Science Communication, 1st Edition, written by Jack Pun, is a Routledge textbook designed to build core language proficiency for scientific discourse in local and international contexts. It addresses the practical communication requirements of students enrolled in English-medium science degree programs, providing structured support for second-language learners preparing to enter the global academic community.

The text focuses on the rhetorical structures, specialized vocabulary, and grammatical conventions essential for scientific writing and speech. Readers examine techniques to locate scientific literature, analyze texts critically, and evaluate complex data. This training prepares students to explain scientific topics effectively to both specialist research communities and non-specialist audiences.

In addition to print literacy, the volume covers spoken and visual communication methods. Detailed units provide instruction on developing oral presentation skills, writing effective presentation scripts, and constructing multimodal scientific documentaries. This multimodal focus equips students to deliver research findings through modern academic channels.
