INTRODUCTION


                         “English for geologists” is designed to help upper-intermediate and advanced learners of
                  English  for  Specific  Purposes  (ESP)  improve  their  professional  vocabulary  dealing  with
                  geological sphere. It is for the people before they start their career in geology as well as for those
                  already working and need ESP in their job or want to make a career in the field.
                         The  book  consists  of  12  units  introducing  thematic  texts  for  reading,  translating  and
                  discussing various professional topics, and a series of exercises based on the vocabulary used in
                  each unit. The exercises are designed for individual reading, training grammar and translating
                  skills  on  the  basis  of  the  vocabulary  from  ”Essentials  of  Geology”.  The  vocabulary  and  the
                  glossary sections as well as the list of reference books will come in handy.
                         At the back of the book there  is  an Extra Practice section providing  various schemes,
                  photos  and  diagrams  to  train  practical  skills  in  speaking  English  in  geological  sphere  and
                  discussing various professional situations in geology. The author hopes the textbook will help
                  broaden professional outlook and enlarge professional English vocabulary.
