Foundations Writing Skills 2 Intermediate Level
FOUNDATIONS WRITING SKILLS is a two-level, self-contained course in writing English aimed at elementary and intermediate level Arab students. The course guides students step-by-step towards writing simple and accurate paragraphs, paying close attention to sentence structure, vocabulary, grammar and mechanics, guided paragraph writing and the process of writing.
Continuous graded practice is provided through a variety of exercise types such as reading comprehension, gap-fill, table completion, the correction of passages and the writing of sentences and paragraphs using pictures and tabular information. All exercises are based on realistic topics and content and language functions, useful in real life situations. Places from various Arab countries are commonly mentioned, but the locale should be unimportant for the comprehension of the model compositions, and students will substitute their own environments in their writing.
The book is divided into ten units. Each unit is subdivided into six sections: model composition, vocabulary, grammar and mechanics, sentence-joining, guided paragraphs, and the process of writing.
All model compositions focus on certain purposes for writing, such as narrating and describing, and certain means of organizing ideas such as chronological and spatial ordering. The assumptions here are that even on an elementary level there is more to composing than mere sentence-level exercises and that English learners can understand and use sophisticated principles and techniques of English
compositions writing without waiting until they are more fully fluent in English.

Listening Skills for Engineering and Technical English, Elementary Level, First Edition
Listening Skills for Engineering and Technical English, Elementary Level, is the first in a series of English language texts designed for use in engineering and technology colleges, institutes, and adult English-language training programmes. This volume consists of eight units, and each unit is divided into two main parts. The units are organized around selected rhetorical functions: general ideas, specific information, classification, defining, chronological order, cause and effect, comparison and contrast, and processes and procedures. The book is aimed at Arab students who are at an elementary level of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Each unit proceeds from listening at sentence level to listening to a short passage, and aims at developing students’ skills in listening in engineering and technical English. Prelistening and postlistening activities are included in each unit. The book is accompanied by one audio CD.
Organization of Units
Each of the eight units consists of the following sections:
- Before Listening
Some questions to discuss orally in order to give learners an idea of the subject
matter and prepare them for listening. This is also developed by pictures relevant
to the topic of the unit.
- Vocabulary Preview
A list of key vocabulary items that are undefined in the listening. They are briefly
defined in the preview and are accompanied by sentences with missing words to
be filled in.
- Listening
The listening passages are read by a variety of native speakers of English. The
vocabulary, structure, content variation, redundancy, and rhetorical style of each
passage have been carefully chosen and designed.
iv
Preface
- Listening Exercises
A variety of listening exercises that focus on listening skills as related to the
rhetorical function being focused on. These include, among other skills and
strategies, making an outline, which is partially completed in order to lay out the
rhetorical structure of the talk.
- After Listening
Written exercises focusing on the specific rhetorical function being examined in
order to help the listener reconstruct important information from the talk.
Rationale for the Course Design
Listening to sentence-level material and short passages trains elementary
students in listening skills relevant to the rhetorical functions.
Materials are controlled for concept-recycling. Each passage contains a
limited number of ideas that the listener hopefully retains. Support for these key
ideas (that is, recycling) comes in the form of rewordings, examples, clear transition
markers, and summarizing.
Because of the graded use of language within the talks, learners acquire
the ability to process spoken language for increasingly longer spans of time - a
highly desirable target.
In order to ensure a high degree of comprehension of the passage, a
large percentage of content words need to be readily understood. The topics
chosen for the talks have, therefore, been made as tangible as possible, with the
vocabulary kept within an elementary-level word-frequency range.
Finally, an important skill for students is note-taking, by which they
spot the main points of a talk and write them down in note form. These notes
help the listener to remember the main points of the talk. Note-taking is an individual
activity, so one person may have difficulty understanding another person's notes.
The activities in this book should help a student learn to take down clearer, more
concise notes. In further activities, the learner is often asked to complete the
partial notes given.

Pharmacy Terms in Common Use, Students Book, Second Edition
Welcome to the second edition of Pharmacy Terms In Common Use: Studying and Practising Academic Vocabulary This new edition is the product of constant revision and evaluation, not only by me, but also by the many instructors who, along with their students, have used the previous edition and have sent in valuable suggestions and comments. The success of the previous edition has been due, in large measure, to the honest and careful appraisal given by instructors and their students.
Pharmacy Terms In Common Use: Studying and Practising Academic Vocabulary is designed for pharmacy students and professionals who are studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at the upper elementary/intermediate level. It provides a solid foundation in pharmacy language to enable learners to understand and communicate in pharmaceutical/medical situations. It is meant to supply the need for teaching pharmacy vocabulary to non-native speakers of English.
The vocabulary items in this book are both frequent and commonly used in the pharmaceutical/medical field. They are arranged into eleven units according to their relevance to the subject matter, and each unit is divided into manageable sections. These are presented to the student in a regular, controlled fashion. Target words and their derivations are contextualized to illustrate their meanings, and are systematically introduced so that vocabulary development can lead to better learning. Word formation boxes are also provided to emphasize that having a sound knowledge of the meanings and significance of prefixes and suffixes is invaluable in helping students to guess the meanings of the many unknown words they will inevitably encounter in their pharmacy textbooks. Explanations and illustrations are provided to aid, motivate, and test student learning. Short reading passages illustrating the use of some vocabulary items from each section are also provided along with appropriate reading and vocabulary exercises.

Technical Report Writing Skills
Technical Report-Writing Skills, first edition, has been developed to assist college and university students as well as professionals studying English as a foreign language at an upper-elementary or lower-intermediate level. While the book is specifically intended for learners who already have basic competence at sentence-level writing, it is, however, flexible enough to be used by almost anyone wanting to improve their writing skills. It provides enough material for about ninety-eight class-hours of classroom instruction; it is, in other words, a fifteen-week writing course.
Description
This book deals with principles of effective writing. After a review of sentence-level writing, students are assisted to acquire the skills necessary to produce various types of compositions. Students develop effective writing skills by focusing on format, mechanical accuracy, and clarity of expression.
In addition, students learn to collaborate with others on producing written assignments.
Fourteen practical and academic-writing topics are covered in fourteen units. These are:
the mechanics of writing
sentence structure
transition signals
writing an effective paragraph
contrast and comparison
report-writing
argumentative writing: making generalizations and drawing conclusions
note-taking
business letters
covering letters
formal and informal emails
email job applications
memos
resume-writing
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- write using grammatically-and mechanically-correct language appropriate to the type of report specified.
- differentiate between effective and ineffective written communication by understanding and identifying the criteria that describe effective report-writing.
- identify the context, purposes, audience, and process of formal written communication.
- employ developed pre-writing skills by brainstorming, choosing, consulting other people and sources or information, and scanning material appropriate to the type of report required, as well as taking relevant notes.
- further develop their writing skills by making use of notes, writing first drafts, and consulting dictionaries and other reference books.
- proofread their own and classmates’ written work.
- produce formal written communications targeted towards varied and specific audiences.
- develop and use effective strategies for participating in collaborative work aimed at the preparation and completion of written business communications.

The Modern Medical Dictionary, English – Arabic, First Edition
Welcome to The Modern Medical Dictionary. I hope you find using it to be both a beneficial, and enjoyable experience. In writing it, I have kept in mind the needs of all students training for careers in the health care industry including doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, medical technicians and secretaries.
