Introduction
Who is the book for?
This book has been written for people whose first language is not English, and who use or
are going to use computers and other information technology in an English-speaking
environment. It covers the language needed to use information technology equipment,
work with computer programs, discuss problems and plan projects. It does not cover
advanced technical vocabulary for computer programmers or electronic engineers. All the
language in the book is intended to be accessible to intermediate level students and above.
How can the book be used?
The vocabulary is arranged by topic. Choose the topics that interest you. The pages do not
have to be completed in any particular order, and there is no need to complete all the pages
if some are on topics which are not useful to you. It is better to complete one or two pages
in a day, and remember the vocabulary, rather than completing as many pages as possible.
The answers to the exercises can be found at the back of the book. There is also an index
to help you find the pages which are most useful to you.
Write new words and phrases you learn in a notebook or file. Review this language
regularly so that it becomes part of your active vocabulary.
A good general dictionary will be very helpful, providing pronunciation guides and more
contexts. For vocabulary relating specifically to computers, Dictionary of Computing (A&C
Black, ISBN 978 07475 6622 9) will be a useful reference source.
