From Atom to Zip

Again. Title does not stand by any sense right ?
No worries. The given post is regarding The Research work titled as - "Teaching of EST In Indian Conditions". Research scholar - R. S. Sharma comes from BHU, Varanasi (Banaras Hindu University).
The paper was presented at National Seminar on 'Linguistics & Language Teaching' in January, 1990.

As we all know that Teaching any language is not the task which covers some specific factors only. And especially when it comes to English, it covers up so many things and fields like Science, Technology, Mathematics, Life Sciences etc. And the area of research goes world wide.

At this point, English becomes the strong medium to gain the knowledge. So language must be precise, to the point, containing the proper name of terminology and symbols. More elaborative, more expressing language as Teaching for purpose of science, must be avoided.

As R. S. Sharma tries to figure out -
" These three aspects of EST teaching, namely,
1) needs analysis,
2) structure of technical English & teaching materials
3) expertise
are inter-related and each of them must be considered in the context of other two."

It becomes language of scientific research when it comes to science n technology. So in order to generate such results, one as teacher should always remain conscious about the language they are generating.
