Scientific English is a transversal course of the fifth semester, part of the Communication Techniques unit. It aims to give you the language skills needed to understand a scientific article without relying on slow and inefficient word-for-word translation. The course begins with a global revision of English grammar, which you will need for reading and writing scientific texts. It then trains you to translate scientific articles in both directions, from French into English and from English into French, and teaches you how to search for scientific documents and articles effectively. You will also learn the basic methods for writing a scientific article and citing references correctly.
