本書建立科學家及科學領域學生的溝通技巧和專業知識，確保他們更能自信且有效地在工作或學習環境中妥善運用英語。非常特別地，針對說寫溝通部分加強，全書十個單元連結真實出版的研究案例，非常適合各種領域（如物理、生物、遺傳學）的研究學者或學生，加強閱讀和寫作技巧（如文獻閱讀、申請研究獎金或出版論文）及聽說技巧（描述研究資料、陳述報告實驗問題或研討會簡報），上課自修兩相宜。
對使用本書的老師而言，不需要特殊科學知識背景，且教師手冊都能從線上下載。
Cambridge English for Scientists develops the communication skills and specialist English language knowledge of science students and professionals, enabling them to communicate more confidently and effectively in their work or study environment.
Uniquely, this course focuses on both spoken and written communication, with each of the ten units relating to a case study based on real, published research. This makes the course ideal for scientists from a wide range of scientific backgrounds.
Cambridge English for Scientists also develops the learners' language skills with practical reading and writing skills - such as applying for research funding or writing for publications - as well as with speaking and listening skills including 'Describing and Reporting Problems With Experiments' and 'Presenting at a Conference'.
Cambridge English for Scientists requires no specialist knowledge on the part of the teacher and comprehensive teacher's notes are available online. The course is also ideal for self-study.
