English for Science and Technology (EST) is designed to help international undergraduates and graduate students and professionals become more comfortable using English as a common language in the fields of science and technology. In a highly interactive learning environment—mixing group and individual project work with in-class and out-of-class activities and visits—students improve their overall English language skills (i.e., listening, speaking, reading and writing) as well as the critical thinking, verbal presentation, interviewing and research skills needed as international scientists, engineers and technical experts.

Participants visit laboratories and high-tech companies and are introduced to exciting hot topics in research and the latest applications. They increase their awareness of issues and concerns of businesses in emerging technologies. Upon completion of the English for Science and Technology Program, participants will have:

Improved verbal presentation and analytical research skills, and strenghtened their pronunciation
Used logic and critical thinking skills to discuss a variety of scientific and technological topics with peers
Organized their own ideas, created slides and made effective oral presenations in English
Become aware of issues and concerns of new businesses in emerging technologies
