520 | _a"Technically Speaking: English at Work, Second Edition is aimed at ESL students at the intermediate to high intermediate level. It presents career-related activities that not only prepare students for the workforce but give them the opportunity to improve and enrich both their lexical and structural knowledge of English. The second edition provides several new updated articles and authentic audio interviews with people working in technical fields, including an interview with Peter Simons, co-owner of Simons, in which he gives advice to students preparing for the workforce. In addition to the supplementary and reference sections, more dynamic and interactive features have been added for both students and teachers: pronunciation and stress exercises; a DVD with authentic work-related videos from current Canadian news programs; explanations and exercises for reading skills and dictionary usage; and an integrated answer key for the grammar exercises which allows for auto-correction."
