Academic English for Computer Science aims to provide a tool for the effective study of computational science and technology. It addresses international students who use English as a second language. It can be used as a foundation course in undergraduate programs of Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering, and Information Technology (IT). The material of this course draws content from core areas of Computer Science, aspiring to create an initial induction in the field. Furthermore, the academic skills incorporated in each content unit will enhance the students' ability to: - Read and interpret a wide variety of texts and genres relevant to computing. - Acquire a solid base of domain-specific terminology. - Practice various note-taking methods, to improve their overall academic experience and personal growth process. - Write argumentation essays to illustrate similar and opposing views. - Cite known researchers and acknowledge contributions from peers in the field. - Communicate with other practitioners in a way that shows respect for diverse perspectives. - Deliver their own message in a genuine and powerful way.

Academic English for Computer Science is a versatile course book, designed to facilitate the induction of undergraduate students to the fields of computational technology and communication. The book comprises 10 units which provide a solid foundation in crucial areas of the discipline. The first part of each unit presents a new topic and an introduction to the related issues. The second part of each unit introduces significant academic skills. It is true that content knowledge along with academic mastery will prove a powerful combination. After all, the real essence of Computer Science needs to be transmitted in the best possible way, if it is to make a difference to the world.
