English for sustainable environment

Abstract

The study book English for Sustainable Environment serves the notion of sustainable environment as a leading topic, threading throughout the units of the book and bringing all specific topics together. It includes original texts some of which were adapted and abridged. They are followed by practical assignments, which help students master professional vocabulary, develop academic and professional communication skills. Students are encouraged to further their professional development by reading supplementary articles on the subject in question, watching documentaries, or listening to news podcasts. All these authoritative online resources accompany the book. The study book is aimed at teaching English to university students of Environmental Protection, Building Energy, Building Services Systems, Urban Engineering, Roads and Railways Engineering, and Geodesy. It employs interdisciplinary approach and, thus, ultimately addresses concerns of other engineering branches.
